Poll question: XTC vs. Adam Ant vs. OMD vs. TMBG
Edited on Mon Dec-15-03 04:06 PM by XNASA
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?

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

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?
Edited on Mon Dec-15-03 04:54 PM by BigMcLargehuge
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....
Edited on Mon Dec-15-03 04:20 PM by XNASA
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.....
Edited on Mon Dec-15-03 04:58 PM by XNASA
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."

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?"
