This Or That (the music edition)
 

(You know how it goes pick one then give two more choices)

Fire On High

or

Terminal Frost


?????????

Asta!!

Okay my guess is after 13 views either ya could care less or you have no idea what the 2 are. I'll give myself the benefit of the doubt and clarify upon the 2 choices both all instrumental tracks (though thats not the theme of this it's just to pick 2 songs/bands/guitarists/drummers/etc. to choose from)

Fire On High - Electric Light Orchestra (Face The Music - Track 1)

or

Terminal Frost - Pink Floyd (A Momentary Lapse Of Reason - Track 8)

Asta!!

Actually, I don't know how this goes. Could you clarify a wee bit?

Do we.. just choose one? Like:

"I choose Fire on High. Here are my 2 choices:
Snake Bite
or
Thrill"

While Snake Bite and Thrill are both albums by Eleni Mandell, are there any conditions on what we choose as the options? And I just chose one... because I just chose one.

There are no conditions on choosing which you pick other than you pick the one you like best. For instance I would probably pick Terminal Frost because I like it better than Fire On High (though I love them both) and thats that. Then I give 2 more and the next guy picks which one he likes best like say for instance 2 albums/Songs/Guitarists...etc. "Here Is Gone - Goo Goo Dolls or Iris - Goo Goo Dolls" or whatever. The point of it is to aquire what everyones tastes are....would they pick what you would pick or would they pick something else, do they like the same stuff as you or not? And all that razzle Dazzle.

Asta!!

Ohhhh got it now! Just choose which of the two that you prefer, then give two more choices to make the next person decide which they prefer.

Yup if you don't know those 2 songs just pass and post 2 yerself

Asta!!

K-Wise, you used Goo Goo Dolls for your example... you're my new hero! :icare:

/threadjack

*edit* right, the game....

from your example, I pick Iris... I LOVE the violin parts...

Frank Sinatra, of course. "I got chunks of guys like you in my stool!"

A solo Sammy Hagar or a solo David Lee Roth? Please note this does not pertain to which was better with Van Halen, this is for their own solo acts.

yeah i know what you mean but i really like bauhaus and they do a really good version of it. i had to listen to it a couple of times to realise that it was a remake...

if you havent heard of them check them out on allmusic.com

they, along with the cure, were pioneers in the glam/goth insergence of the late 70s early 80s...
