US Band Tournament - 1st Round - Chic vs Red Hot Chilli Peppers

[TheHowieLama]

Frodey Baby - they had a half dozen votes before you came out of the pine paneled palace.

 

For anyone who wants it - Chic also wrote "We are Family" Sister Sledge and "Upside Down" Diana Ross

RHCP have been making the same stuff for decades. 

As most bands do.

[Tony Moanero]

Chic, hands down.

Ha I know yeah. No disrespect to Juniper whose musical opinions for the most part deserve recognising but Buddy Holly wasn't ever gonna release a grime album. 

[cochyn]

John Frusciante vs Nile Rodgers.... 

 

Sorry John.

Of course, but the Chilli’s only tried something new with Danger Mouse producing on the last album and used the same producer (Rick Rubin) for 25 years up to that point.  
 

I know ‘if there’s a formula don’t break it’ but 25 years is taking the mick.

The bastards. Any way of changing my vote?

[Josef Svejk]

RHCP have been boring as hell for pushing three decades.

[Moctezuma]

Oh dear, I'm sorry but Chic are an infinitely better band, Rodgers and Edwards basically created a unique and addictive sound that was brought to mass audiences and is heavily borrowed from even now. I can't remember the last time I heard a band remotely ape or sample a Red Hot Chili Peppers record.

surely you haven’t already forgotten All Saints’ classic version of Under the Bridge?

Was that the song they performed at that Bacharach tribute event? He looked genuinely disgusted...

[VladimirIlyich]

I am not a fan of what I've heard of Red Hot CP and Chic are not my style of music but gone for Chic as I fail to see hype of those Chillies.

Le Freak is a better song than the whole of the Red Hot Chilli Peppers catalogue put together.

Utter bollocks, I’m afraid. 

[Bjornebye]

Boss when people chat fucking shite about music. "RHCP are shit, 30 years etc, same same, whole back catalogue is crap" yet Flea has more musical talent in his little toe. Fucking meffs 

[Strontium]

I've tied it up at 28-all. The foundation of modern dance music versus a passable rock band shouldn't be this close.

If you think about it, if you tried to listen to every RHCP song put together  (one overdubbed on another) it would sound a bit shit.

[Numero Veinticinco]

The foundation of modern dance music!!! Fucking hell.

A strong point. Still marginally less shit than some shitty 70s disco nonsense.

OK, you've persuaded me to vote.

One on its own is quite enough, thanks.

[Ezekiel 25:17]

Embarrassing.

[Bjornebye]

Proof that we are littered with cunts 

[Code]

Its a paradox that people complain about RHCP being the same for 30 years when they are up against Chic.

 

Chic are not exactly known for their big reportoaire.
 

Its been the same riff for 40 years.

And they've had a different band member for each year.
