Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Bran Van 3000, easily

New Radicals or Marcy Playground?

Addendum: To clarify, while PM5k has a couple catchy tracks, BV3k actually made more interesting music. Kind of a shame they got relegated to one hit wonderism. Plus, there's the Beastie Boys connection.

I will go New Radicals after seeing the light recently.

Harvey Danger or White Town?

I'll say Harvey Danger since I can barely remember "Your Woman."

Folk Implosion or Primitive Radio Gods?

Jesus, I had to look Folk Implosion up, but that I definitely remember that one. The stupid Change Phone Booth song was stupid so I will go with Folk Implosion.

Republica or Elastica?

Elastica actually, even though I have a place in my heart for Republica.

Tonic or Semisonic?

Never a big Tonic guy, I did like a few Semisonic tunes.

The Refreshments or The Flys?

(I am officially renaming this thread to make it more accurate).

The answer is Falkenbach.

I feel that there is a fascistic element, for example, in the Rolling Stones . . .

You're (and anyone) welcome to play, but if you hate both bands just wait for me or matey (or someone) to chime in. I think we're trying to keep it fun and not-negative (well, relatively speaking for this board anyways).

Anyways, Jesus Jones.

4 Non Blondes or Blind Melon?

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

Oh of course. And though binary thinking may one day destroy us all, it's easy to make a relative choice on the NON-LIMEY CENTRIC ones.
