BOTB: Metallica vs. The Smiths--Metallica Wins!

[The_Dude]

This poll isn't about whether you like the way band members conduct themselves, or their politics or any of that nonsense. It's whether one band is musically superior to another band. In this case it's clear which band is superior. If you even liked Metallica's music prior to the Napster debacle, and didn't care for the Smith's either way, the vote should go to Metallica. I hate these guys now as much asthe next guy, but musically they (used to) rock.

That's utter BS... I can vote how I damn well choose to vote. I accepted this long ago when James Madison lost in the Greatest Historical Figure Tournament.

Fixed that for you.

Fixed back.

I like both bands quite a bit and each were influential in their genre of music. How they got matched against each other is a mystery but went with Metallica.

The Smiths

Metallica is unbelievably overrated.

The Smiths

Metallica is unbelievably overrated.

Just curious, but why overrated? If it's their current blend of music you're referring to, then yes, I agree. However, their first five albums are some of the most amazing metal recordings of the past twenty-odd years. In fact, I dare you to find anyone in the inner circle of the metal community that doesn't think "And Justice For All" is one of the most amazing records in the genre.

Dave Mustaine probably doesn't think too highly of them.
