My vote still goes to Pink Floyd.

Wed Jul 12, 2006 7:45 pm

Pink Floyd, because I hate Sugarland.

Wed Jul 12, 2006 8:19 pm

Who?

Wed Jul 12, 2006 8:55 pm

What Paul said. oO

*doesn't really get why you're putting unknown (to me, anyway) bands against legends*

Wed Jul 12, 2006 10:07 pm

That is pretty tough. Two bands I like.

But Pink Floyd is a legend. Sugarland is not. So Pink Floyd.

Wed Jul 12, 2006 11:56 pm

Definitely Pink Floyd again (too bad Syd Barrett just died though). You should put Pink Floyd up against some bands from the same time period, like Led Zeppelin, The Who, etc.

Thu Jul 13, 2006 5:10 am

Pink Floyd cuz I don't know who Sugarland is. :P

Fri Jul 14, 2006 5:37 am

Who the hell are these people I have never heard of them.

:o I can understand you not knowing who Sugarland are (seems like nobody else does either) but Pink Floyd?! Wow. Do you live in a cave or something? :P ;)

Anyway, Pink Floyd. DM, if you didn't want such a biased vote, you should put legends like Pink Floyd up against other legends. Can we have Led Zeppelin next week? That should be interesting. :)

Fri Jul 14, 2006 10:05 am

Sugarland being ... who?

Fri Jul 14, 2006 2:41 pm

(Dunno if it is ok to say this, hope it is)
The only person I've listened to recently is Koda Kumi.......

Fri Jul 14, 2006 4:20 pm

Sugarland's a country band. I'm trying my best to spread out through different genres.

And for the people asking for they are, Wikipedia is free, y'know. :P

Sun Jul 16, 2006 8:25 pm

Well, I dont know who these people are so I'm not going to vote.

C..Country? Sugarland sounds like a obnoxious girl group who wear too much hot pink.
