XTC vs. Adam Ant vs. OMD vs. TMBG

[XNASA]

Poll question: XTC vs. Adam Ant vs. OMD vs. TMBG

XTC versus Adam Ant
Content versus form
Fighting for their place in rock and roll
There is no right or wrong

Just when you think it's finished
With XTC on top
Ant music, like a phoenix
Flies back up the charts

XTC versus Adam Ant
Only one will survive
Beatle-based pop versus new romantic
History will decide

1. I gotta give it to They Might Be Giants.

They may have found their niche doing funny songs for children, but I liked them better when they were doing funny songs for people who never grew up.

2. When I get tired of listening to TMBG, I'll put on some XTC

So, have I made myself clear?

3. XNASA, You are the coolest!

:thumbsup:

[XNASA]

10. Perhaps.

But it is my opinion, that you, Coventina, are far cooler than I.

4. That music's lost its taste so try another flavor

ANTMUSIC!!!!

On this poll the Kings of the Wild Fronteir are my favs.

13. Adam Ant

The last few years have been quite rough for him (hospitalization for depression and some run-ins with the law) but apparently he is recording again.

15. Did I tell you you're wonderful?

His best solo song, by far.

I'll check out the site, and I did know about his troubles (a shame really, I wish he knew how much a mod from NH loved his music and acting), I'm psyched to hear he's recording again.

5. Adam Ant? You might as well put Duran Duran on the poll!

Although actually, Duran Duran were quite a bit better than OMD or Adam Ant.

6. SLB, "XTC vs. Adam Ant" is an actual song....

Recorded and written by "They Might Be Giants".

So you see, it's all very tongue in cheek.

I'm just bundling it all together, once and for all. Well, maybe not once and for all, but at least for now.

8. Sure, I guessed that, but I'm obligated by law to burn Adam Ant

wherever I may see him.

12. I knew a girl, well actually I still know her.....

who spent the night with New Romantic Adam Ant.

She said he was kinda romantic, but that there was certainly nothing new about it.

7. more like Adam Ant but better

Bow Wow Wow!
yes, actually. I saw them once and it really was quite impressive. Really.

But my vote in this poll goes to XTC, without a doubt.

9. TMBG

"The words i'm saying now mean nothing more than MEOW to an animal"

"life's just a mood ring we're not allowed to see"

"Memo to myself. Do the dumb things i gotta do."

[soothsayer]

11. Adam Ant all the way, baby!

Desperate But Not Serious, Montreal, Ant Music, Stand and Deliver, Apollo Nine---how could you not love him!

14. What? No TSOL?

This poll is incufficient!!!

[Character Assassin]

16. OMD and Adam Ant in the same breath as XTC? SACRILEDGE!!!

Those two, including TMBG, simply cannot compare.

That's like asking "Huesker Du or Night Ranger?"
