“Can You Make A Decision?”: This Music-Themed ‘This Or That’ Poll Is Relentlessly Tough

Well, Collins does influence me to switch to another radio station as soon as I hear the opening note of one of his songs.

Might not be a popular opinion but I think Madonna is over rated. Sure she's good at publicity and performance. But the music itself is pretty average.

We could debate what "superior" even means, but they both had significant impacts on music. The Beatles (like many other artists) started out being heavily influenced by people like Chuck Berry (who might be considered as superior as one of the early pioneers of rock) before becoming more innovative. Queen were more innovative right out of the gate.

This actually depends on the type of music. Classical is amazing on vinyl, but most things are better on streaming.

They both suck

Like comparing a Porsche to a Reliant Robin.

I'm fine hearing "Never Gonna Give You Up” but it's not part of my 100+ GB music collection, and I've never played it on YT. A-ha's video is also a milestone.

Another one that was hard to choose.

The answer is Beastie Boys but ok

I can appreciate disco a bit now that I'm older and somewhat nostalgic, but the closes I came to having an disco in my music collection was Blondie's "Heart Of Glass" and the Kinks' "Superman".

Modern pop icon and no mention of Swift or the little blonde one?

I'm probably one of the very few people who can't stand Adele.

As we'd say in Norwegian, "pest eller kolera".

HER LIPS ARE DEVIL RED AND HER SKIN'S THE COLOUR OF MOCHA!

I have a condition. If Africa is playing, it doesn't matter where, I *HAVE* to sing it. Loudly, with gusto. It must be done.

What exactly is experimental alternative indie music?

1980s, obvs. 😉

There's a cover of Every Breath You Take that's in a minor key and REALLY leans into making it super dramatic (d****d if I can remember which band it was), and played into the inherent creepiness of the lyrics. It's awesome.
