British Band Tournament - Round 1. The Small Faces vs Arctic Monkeys

[Mook]

No contest.

 

I have nothing against the Arctic Monkeys but the Small Faces were top class & had one of the great singers of all time.

 

 

[PestiRed]

This doesn’t feel like a round one tie. Fuck the randomiser

[Tony Moanero]

Small Faces, HANDS DOWN.

[Bjornebye]

This was a b-side and not a very well known song but it is fucking great. 

 

 

 

[YorkshireRed]

As per @Mook. Nothing against the Arctic Monkeys, I like them. Good band that I’ve listened to a lot. Their problem here is they’ve had a shocker of a draw. The Small Faces are just that bit better in pretty much every way.

It's also not the Small Faces.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

I've not heard that much by the Arctic Monkeys. 

Can they do this?

 

 

 

[Bjornebye]

Arctic Monkeys are a really fucking good band. well they were until Alex disappeared up his own arse.

The Arctic Monkeys first album is one of the few post 2000 albums that I genuinely love. Live as well as on record.

Turner, a decent lyricist but sometimes comes across as a poundshop JCC. Marriott probably has the best vocals in rock.

Arctic Monkeys are one of the weakest bands in this, in my opinion.

Oh my fucking word Damien. What a cunt. 

 

Made a twat of myself there.

Steve Marriott - WHAT a singer. What a tragic end. His voice here is a wonder...

[PestiRed]

The pure energy of the Arctic Monkey’s first album plus Turner’s lyrics is giving them an edge vs my general dislike of Rod Stewart

[Bjornebye]

Fuck you Mook, listen to it anyway. Best breakup song ever. 

[The Midnight Rambler]

This is going well.

So, up until Brianstorm.

 

Voted Arctics, can't beat a £5 gig at the barfly for a band I'd never heard of and basically got the first album in full pushed through my ears.  Must have been the only person in the room that hadn't heard the demos.

But rod Stewart wasn't in the small faces.

Fair play. 

 

Saw them at Reading festival literally weeks after they released Humbug. They headlined the Saturday night and came on AFTER the Prodigy. Needless to say it was fucking garbage (who wouldn't be after them?) . That said, that headline gig at Glastonbury a year or so after they released their first song was a fucking stormer. 

[Red_or_Dead]

Small Faces easily.  Nothing against the Arctic Monkeys, just a bit meh.

 

 

[PestiRed]

So we’re not doing the traditional thing of lumping the Small Faces and Faces together? Fair enough but I’ll still go with Arctic Monkeys

Really shit drawer. Artic Monkeys were a good bet for the quarter final easily. 

Really?

[YorkshireRed]

I can sense words of bitterness and regret for the way the randomiser has thrown up this tie, at some point down the road, when we end up with a Muse v Kasabian semi final.
