More often than not quality does = sales. Those two Bowie albums each contain a side worth of experimental, electronic, instrumentals. Hardly stuff that is going to help shift millions of albums.

60's MAYBE.

Ever since then that is just incorrect.

What about changing it to Led Zeppelin Vs The Beatles?

The Beatles vs Stones is a better one albeit argued to death.

May have been experimental but it was a work of genius and should have sold millions.

Bowie once remarked that he didn't start seriously selling albums until Let's Dance ironically when he went from art rock to commercial crap.

You're right, wtf is it?

I just happened to listen to them after reading a review in the Herald Sun and thought if they're good enough to be in that newspaper, then they must be pretty good.

And then after I listened to the first few songs, I couldn't hear a number one hit at all as their songs went for waaay too long. I mean, how the hell do you expect to be on the radio when you do that?

Me and the rest of the AC/DC fans look at them and laugh at their small fan base.

'Sif der Hun would review PT though. It'd take up precious space reserved for circlejerking the latest crap to be released by whichever major label Uncle Rupert owns.

And FWIW, this thread needs more Madtiger in it.

For sure; when I made that post, I thought I had recently read a review of PT's 'The Incident' in the HS which gave it three stars, but then I remembered the review was actually in the latest issue of Rolling Stone*.

*First time I've read it in ages due to Crooked Vultures being on the cover, I swear.

Not meaning to be obtuse, but why does there need to be an indicator? It is music, after all.

No, it's a competition. This is a footy forum, everything's a competition...

If record sales are what we're going by here, Crazy Frog is better than both of them!

Pointless thread

Sadly, people fail to understand this concept which is why this thread exists.

look mate, at the end of the day, record sales DO give some kind of indication when its between two big bands
crazy frog doesnt count...

the point im trying to make is also to find out who prefers which artist more. i really should have added a poll to this. also if someone asked a question of which was the bigger band? regardless of fancy shmancy like - ('ohh what do u mean bigger? bigger as in $$$ or fame) or watever.. i guarantee more votes will lead to AC/DC.

AC/DC have been around for almost 40 years anyway so your soulless argument about record sales is irrelevant anyway.

And Coldplay win
