Battle of the Bands finale Hype Thread!

[Julio_Strikes_Back]

They overthrew Queen.
They burned Led Zeppelin.
They fooled The Who
And crushed all other competition.

And on FRIDAY! FRIDAY! FRIDAY! JUNE 13th, 2008, THE BATTLE OF THE BANDS FINALE WILL ROCK THE HISTORY FORUMS!



THE BEATLES
vs.
RUSH

http://i28.tinypic.com/34smpkw.jpg

Place your bets! Discuss the bands that didn't make it into the first round, the bands that were defeated, and everything else. Are you happy with the final battle? What would be your ideal roster?

[Julio_Strikes_Back]

Honestly, if I had the musical knowledge that I have now back in January, the roster would be completely different. Some battles I would've made:

Journey vs. Queen
Boston vs. ELO
King Crimson vs. Pink Floyd
Cream vs. The Experience
Led Zeppelin vs. The Yardbirds
Alice in Chains vs. Nirvana

[Rockbandfan23467]

How about

"They Eclipsed Pink Floyd" in the OP?

[Quinarvy]

I say after this, you could start a second bracket.

Then it's champion faces off with Rush (because 2112 >>> Beatles songs)

[Julio_Strikes_Back]

How about

"They Eclipsed Pink Floyd" in the OP?

Nah, I'll just stick with three. I could think of a bad pun for every band though. :D

They HAZED OUT Hendrix
They CHURNED Cream
They FLOWED with Pearl Jam. :D

Also Ramones Vs. The Clash (needed)

I dont think Im gonna vote Neither band I like at all.

[partyboydanial]

they UNEXPERIENCED Jimi Hendrix

awful...

yes.

anyway

if the Beatles don't win this i dont know what the world has come too.

if Pink Floyd would have beat them, it would have been understandable

but Rush

come on.

Rush is great

but we're talking about John, Paul, George, and Ringo

[m00p]

If Rush wins, I must question the intelligence on these boards. Especially the ignorant people in the PF vs. Beatles thread.

Are you able to understand that different people have different points of views and different tastes?
Or maybe every people that prefer Pink Floyd to Beatles are ignorant and you are superior.
Of course, I'm not trying to say that you're not superior. Don't get me wrong Lord Moop.

Btw, I voted Beatles.

He's an idiot. He apparenlty hates illegal immigrants too. Douchebag. I read that one post, and I lost all respect for him.

Say what? o.o I don't hate illegal immigrants. I'm very "sorry" if you don't like me.

I can understand about different preferences, but their are sure alot of Rush fans on here. But they have around 2-5 good songs that im aware of? And they beat iron maiden? :confused:

its called opinion and personal preference, I could say that Cinderella only has 2-5 good songs too, and Rush has about 30 at the least

[m00p]

Umm, yeah. I already knew that. Look in my OP

"i can understand about musical preferences"

.

[Insane3]

I didn't mean to start a Moop bash lol. I was just angry. Let's get back to the subject. Who deserves to win: the musicaly complex Rush or the innovative and accessible Beatles? I personnally vote for Beatles because I prefer their music but I admit that each Rush members are very talented (except maybe Geddy's vocals lol, he sing OK).

[SteelersFreak1]

Rush is my favorite band. But I have to vote for The Beatles.

[Quinarvy]

I can understand about different preferences, but their are sure alot of Rush fans on here. But they have around 2-5 good songs that im aware of? And they beat iron maiden? :confused:

I think similarly of the Beatles...

[FultonPub]

Not sure how Rush made it to the end but they have no business being in the same thread as alot of the other bands.

With that being said, The Beatles (who I dont like) had better win or this is the end of the world as we know (or this board is just overrun by brainwashed Rush fanboys)

There are about as many brainwashed Beatles fanboys (including you) as there are Rush fanboys.

Yea, what Julio said.

The Beatles are a great band...just a little bit overrated.

[Rockbandfan23467]

He doesn't like the Beatles and you called him a fanboy! Julio you ignorant buffon!


The Beatles are not overrated at all. They are too important to be overrated. They deserve all the praise they get.

Rush is widely considered the most talented band around, so I'd say they have plenty of business being here.

I said a little!:o

[AxlVanHagar]

I would have to agree that I don't think they are over rated. Music would have been much different if it weren't for them. Now I think we would still have arrived to where we are today eventually but it would it would have looked and sounded a lot different along the way. Much respect to what they did and accomplished. That being said , personally, not a Beatles fan. Just don't like them at all.

[Ultimatum]

The results would have been pretty much the same though.

They are incredibly overrated for the dives they took in their career.

Plus, Rush doesn't let their egos (or ladies) get in the way of the music.

[Rockbandfan23467]

^The impact they had on music, and society in general is so gand they deserve everylast pit of praise. They influenced every band that came after them, they saved rock and roll from dying!

[Insane3]

They are considered one of the most talented bands. I prefer Gentle Giant or Yes but everybody has his own opinion about the most talented band.

[Zidane]

If Rush wins, I must question the intelligence on these boards. Especially the ignorant people in the PF vs. Beatles thread.

Rush will win, no doubt. It's not that they are a better band, but that they have more fans on this board. The BotB polls have always been flawed anyway.

[l-o-t]

Oh, Oh! Listen to me! I got a good BOSTON one. ya' ready? OK... ahem

they Crashed BOSTON'S tea party!

Oh! Snap! yeah... what? to soon? just kiddin' guy's. I just wanted to be part of the fun.

[m00p]

They made pink floyd RUN LIKE HELL!

ok im done.. ._.

[Quinarvy]

If only R. Kelly were in over Insane Clown Posse

They PISSED ON R. Kelly

[JerryBrudos]

Maiden shoulda won I feel cheated

[IslandBoy91]

You could do battle of the Albums or singles for part 2...Just a thought

[VoorheesJoker13]

we need Blue Oyster Cult vs some band

The Beatles? Rock and Roll had just started and was still evolving when The Beatles came out.

Rock and Roll IS dead. Only memories in the form of discs remain.

[Ultimatum]

Well, Rock and Roll is what we now consider today Blues Rock.

[Rockbandfan23467]

Rock and Roll IS dead. Only memories in the form of discs remain.

NO.


ROCK AND ROLL WILL NEVER DIE!!!

[Insane3]

OPEN YOUR EYES! Rock and Roll commited suicide at the end of The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars.

No, if anytime, rock and roll died in the late 90's when the Backstreet Boys made it big, foo'! Don't trust that I-have-no-idea-what-he-is David Bowie!
