US Band Tournament - 1st Round - Blondie vs The Beach Boys

Tie of the round I reckon. I was gutted when this came out because I love Blondie but know how much love there is for The Beach Boys on here. Pet Sounds without a doubt is a great album but they did a lot of shit that is almost unlistenable. They also don't have Debbie Harry. 

 

Blondie for the win. 

[Tony Moanero]

I love Debbie Harry but had to vote for The Beach Boys.

Now this is a tough one. I would say I like them both very much.

 

I think I'm going Beach Boys, just edging it because God Only Knows is a perfect pop song.

What Beach Boys stuff is almost unlistenable?

[Jose Jones]

Bullshit draw this one.

Pretty much all of Surfin' Safari and Keeping' the Summer Alive

Better sticking to their albums between 1966 & 1973, they were pretty much finished by the time punk happened. I've never even listened to Keepin' The Summer Alive & I love The Beach Boys.

[Josef Svejk]

The Beach Boys. Easily. Even though Blondie were very good...

I'd say 1963 to 1971...

Fair enough, I think their albums before Today were patchy & I love Holland & the live LP from '73...

Shocker of a draw. The Beach Boys probably edge it musically but I can’t vote against Debbie Harry. I just can’t. 

[Ezekiel 25:17]

The Beach Boys are the best band in US history.

Today is '65 anyway, is it not? And while patchy, the earlier albums contain some masterpieces.

 

Holland I can take or leave, to be honest. Love You, likewise. The rest post-'73 is terrible...

[VladimirIlyich]

Beach Boys,but this should be at least a semi final.

You're right, it is '65. Agreed on the early albums, some gems in there.

Fucks sake that's probably the worst draw Blondie could get. Fuck it I'm voting for them anyway.

[Red_or_Dead]

What another crock of shit draw.  Whatever fucking program stig is using it's a fucking fix.

 

 

[AngryOfTuebrook]

Tough draw, this. I've gone for Blondie, who I think are massively underrated.

[Pete]

Blondie. 

[Bjornebye]

Come on Blondie

If only I could! 

[Moo]

Ffs this would be my final. Can't vote.

edit - fuck it, Blondie

 

[Redder Lurtz]

Fuck sake. Pet Sounds v a whole bunch of fantastic blondie tunes. 

 

I'm livid, me.
