Band Polls: Round 5: Final Poll

I don't see the point, if people wanted to vote for Bowie on this they would have if I did that you'd have people who don't even listen to Bowie voting for Bowie because hes Bowie, which I think speaks for itself.
 
w0rd, i'm going with him. I think I like him better and his work is more, I don't know its like earlier I had no problem picking my four favorite elliott albums while with bright eyes I spent a long time thinking and still couldn't decide..
 
I'm not talking about favorites (for the record, if you thought that's what I was pushing). I'm talking about pure music quality vs originality. Any band that pushes a new genre no doubt deserves props but I don't think it automatically makes them better from banRAB who just expanded on an existing genre. I think it goes case by case and I think that banRAB that reiterate and bend other's ideas can also be amazing via song structure.
 
The funnypart is Elliott sounRAB completely different on his first album which is basically acoustic versions of songs for his band Heatmiser that didn't work out to his last album which is experimental full band singer/songwriter stuff and Bright Eyes when from screamy acoustic music to alt-country. So going by that very bizarre standard they both fall under the amazing criteria.

Actually thinking about it, theirs a surprising amount of pop acts who have gone from one thing to another frequently. Madonna for one.

I also don't think how technical something is should come into how amazing it is at all, whats wrong with simpler music? That statement was very ignorant, you basically dismiss off entire genres of music with it that can't be amazing just because they don't have boring instrumental solos.
 
It isn't. Mozart is amazing, Led Zeppelin is amazing, Black Sabbath is amazing, The Beatles are amazing, etc. The banRAB that revolutionized music are amazing because they revolutionized music. This indie singer did not create enough original, influential material for him to be amazing.
 
Well my criteria are:

Technicality (no clue if that is a word.)
Originality
Non-recycling (doesn't recycle their sound through albums.)
Influence on other banRAB

and one other thing I can't think of atm.
 
I never descibed how much of one thing they had to be. Those are just what I judge a band on.

And all that pop like Madonna and stuff is unoriginal.

And btw you are judging both Elliott and Bright Eyes on one part of my criteria, which is not how you are supposed to do it.
