KISS vs. Swans: The Poll
It had to happen! The senses-shattering conclusion of the Heston/Medulla battle for the cosmos! Nothing will ever be the same after this vote!
We've each chosen three songs to make our case, but use whatever criteria you want.
KISS
"Strutter"
"Let Me Know"
"Flaming Youth"
********
Swans
"Time Is Money (Bastard)." A brief foray into industrial in the mid-80s. One of the best, most visceral rages against the dehumanizing nature of work within neoliberalism I've heard.
"Celebrity Lifestyle." Arguably the most commercial or conventional thing they've done, fitting into the alt-rock wave of the mid-90s.
"It’s Coming It’s Real." Released a couple years ago. A dirge/dark gospel about … apocalypse? aging? You can't avoid inevitability, so accept the fate that awaits us all.

Re: KISS vs. Swans: The Poll
All this modern music just sounds the same to me!
Forces have been looting
My humanity
Curfews have been curbing
The end of liberty
We're the flowers in the dustbin...
No fuchsias for you.

There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board
