Hey Dave the limit for each match is a score of three so if you want you to redo some of them you can or I can just lower your scores to 3; e.g. Bob Dylan Blur is 4-0, so it'd have to be 3-0 and your PinK Floyd is 4-3, so it'd have to be 3-3 or 3-2
 
Because Britney, Avril and Sugababes aren't winning?:wink:

Nah, I'm jus' messin around. It's obviously a subjective thing. But I have seen some baffling choices.

Honestly, the one that pisses me off the most is that some people have Pink Floyd beating U2. I mean, whatever, but that's just fucking bullshit. And that's all I'm gonna say about it.
 
i hope i'm doing this right!

Third Division A Round 1 Fixtures

The Replacements v Rush 0-0
I only know Rush and don’t like them.

Foo Fighters v Frank Sinatra 0-0
Not a Foo Fighters fan and I can’t stand Sinatra. Terribly overrated. :down:

Alice in Chains v Elvis Costello 0-0
Don’t care for either.

Nirvana v Beck 0-0
See above.

Pixies v Queen 0-3
“Oh-oh people of the Earth”

The Dresden Dolls v Jane's Addiction 3-0
Fucking mimes. :rockon:

Common v Nouvelle Vague 0-0
Don’t care for Common and don’t know the other.

Sam Cooke v New Order 0-1
New Order is okay.

Sugababes v Van Halen 0-1
Van Halen is okay.

Midnight Oil v Pure Reason Revolution 0-3
The Dark Third is top five of the decade in my opinion.

Most of the artists in this division are pretty bad.
 
This is the first group. I'll add the others later. :up:

Premiership Round 1 Fixtures

The National v Pearl Jam 0-3
I honestly know nothing about The National.

Porcupine Tree v The Who 3-2
While The Who have a much stronger discography, I find Porcupine Tree’s best way better than The Who’s.

The Rolling Stones v David Bowie 1-3
I only like a handful of Stones songs so I’ll give them a point. Bowie is just amazing. Outside is utterly brilliant.

The Smiths v Arcade Fire 3-1
While I like Arcade Fire, they can’t compare to a band that gave us Meat Is Murder and The Queen Is Dead.

Coldplay v Led Zeppelin 3-1
I actually find that AROBTTH and Viva la Vida to be better than Zeppelin record.

The Verve v Radiohead 3-0
I really like The Verve and I think Radiohead is one of the worst bands I have ever heard.

The Clash v Bruce Springsteen 2-2
I’ve only liked one Springsteen record and nothing by The Clash.

Crowded House v R.E.M. 0-3
Never been impressed by Crowded House.

Wilco v The Beatles 0-3
I just can’t see the appeal of Wilco.

Pink Floyd v U2 2-3
U2 is my second favorite band while I think Pink Floyd is my fourth favorite.

I think we all should drink whenever someone breaks out the "overrated" tag in one of these threads. I know GAF's with me on this.

I'll get my cranberry juice powerjuice ready.
 
Third Division B Round 1 Fixtures

The Shins v Pulp 0-0
I don’t know either.

Jimi Hendrix v Talking Heads 2-3
Talking Heads is slightly better in my mind.

Sigur Rós v Britney Spears 3-0
I just wish the rest of Sigur Ros’s discography could be as good as their debut.

Belle & Sebastian v Elvis 0-0
Elvis is also incredibly overrated as an artist.

The Doors v Avril Lavigne 3-0
The End. Nuff said. :wink:

INXS v Bloc Party 1-0
INXS is okay.

Catherine Wheel v John Lennon 0-2
Not a big fan of any of The Beatles’s solo work.

Sex Pistols v Morrissey 0-3
Punk was a terrible thing. :down:

Jacques Brel v Eagles 0-0
Don’t know much by Brel.

Black Sabbath v Joy Division 2-3
Both just rock.
 
Question - what if you are not familiar/haven't heard music by some of the artists on the list? Do they get an automatic "0"?

If you don't know either band 0-0

If you know one it's really up to you, if you love the band you know or think they're great you might as well give them the win if you don't then a draw is probably best
