Was sent a group email this morning asking me to chose who I prefer out of these groups and my reasoning. Who does everyone here prefer? (and why, if you can be arsed!)

Rolling Stones or The Beatles?
Bob Dylan or Neil Young?
Springsteen or Tom Petty?
Pearl Jam or Dave Matthews Band?
Led Zeppelin or The Who?
Little Richard or Chuck Berry?
Elvis or Johnny Cash?
Arcade Fire or Radiohead?
Prince or Michael Jackson?
Oasis or Blur?

For me:

Rolling Stones - The Beatles have a greater depth of work, but whilst the Beatles were the originals, the Stones were the group who shaped rock as we know it more.
Neil Young - Again, Dylan's legacy will last longer. I love them both, but Young as a musician, and a live performer
Broooce - Love them both, but Bruce's depth of work, writing, concerts put him streets ahead
Pearl Jam - One of few 90s bands I like. Good catalogue of work and really mix up their shows live.
Led Zeppelin - Made some of the greatest rock ever - great experimental music. Jimmy Page is a genius and Robert Plant had THE voice.
Little Richard - 'Nuff said
Johnny Cash - Elvis' impact was greater, but Cash had the better voice, and expressed himself better.
Arcade Fire - Great band. Don't really know Radiohead.
Prince - Very underrated guy. Superb musician, performer, writer.
Oasis - Not huge into either, but Oasis have some decent anthems

I'll tally the scores and pass them on to my mate.

Other than Arcade Fire and Radiohead,I'm not really a big fan of any of this lot so I chose the ones where I like more of their songs than the other choice.

Rolling Stones - was the Beatles when I was younger but now prefer bluesy type music
Neil Young - simply because Dylan has the worst singing voice ever
Springsteen - cannot stand anything done by tom petty
Pearl Jam or Dave Matthews Band - no idea never heard of either
The Who - never been a fan of real heavy metal
Chuck Berry - brilliant writer and guitarist
Elvis - bigger genre of music covered
Arcade Fire or Radiohead - never heard either of them
Michael Jackson - by a whisker a real legend despite his personal life
Oasis or Blur - cannot stand either
