Subject: '80's Superstars Battle: Depeche Mode vs. U2

Written By: woops on 01/28/05 at 3:33 pm

After about 10 matches, the "losers" or runner ups will challenge against each other  :)

Round four...and 'guest votes' count.  :)


This thime, I'll vote for U2 for the fact they're still making great albums...  8)

Personally, I liked U2 better when they were Irish.  I'm going with Depeche Mode.

Hmm...should I vote for the band that I hate more than any other or should I vote for one of my top five favorite artists ever.

I shall think the latter.

Depeche Mode it is.

Absolutely. I didn't vote because they are both seriously the s**t, but U2's new stuff make me want to drown myself in disgust.

Depeche Mode...8

U2... 18


The first time my "'80's Superstars" poll isn't "neck to neck"  8)  :D


Unless there's 11 more votes for Depeche Mode.

Im saddened by the turnout. You cant get more overrated...and more flat sounding than U2.

Come on, after 85...nearly all their songs sounded the same.. all epic and emotional... (to me anyway, but you can bash me if you'd like).
Just come on, after the same sound over and over- it gets too old...too fast.

Maybe Im just anti- U2... but other than War, and the pilot single off of How to Dismantle An Atomic Bomb, there just isnt anything worhy of the space between my ears produced by these guys.

Depeche mode is better, however they became goth in the 90s. I dispise their transition alot less than I dispise U2's sound in general.

Looks like the winner will be U2.


Update:

Depeche Mode... 9 (+ one guest vote makes it 10)

U2... 18


And should "guest votes" counts?

IMO, I think it's fair to count the votes from guests who aren't registered members.

I just like giving everybody chances...


Atleast there isn't any more votes... (Though one of the resident guests is now a member  :) )



Runner Ups for the later poll:

Duran Duran
Def Leppard
Van Halen
Depeche Mode
?



What band will dethrown U2?

Bon Jovi, Guns N' Roses, The Cure, Billy Idol, INXS, Madonna, Prince, Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, Motley Crue, REM, Cyndi Lauper etc?


Heck even bands I hate like Journey & Sade might be given a turn...

Starting now!!!
