You make it sound like he’s being beaten by Nik Kershaw!

[SasaS]

It's surprising how close it is.

Based on longevity and the American recordings I went for Cash but I love Otis too, horrible choice this one. Without the American recordings it's Otis.

Fucking hell, Otis didn't have longevity on account of him dying tragically young!

It appears that instead of a football oriented forum, I have been been contributing towards a shadowy cabal of Johnny Cash fans.

People are acting like Johnny Cash is shite here and its fucking worrying 

[Lee909]

Otis generally doesn't get close to the respect he deserves. 

 

Otis was so popular in England that he ended Elvis Presley’s eight-year reign as “world’s best male vocalist” on Melody Maker’s annual poll in 1967. When he arrived in England for his 1967 tour he was greeted by The Beatles’ personal limo

 

 

 

[SasaS]

When Johnny Cash arrived, the Beatles were driving the limo.

[TheHowieLama]

When the Beatles arrived a cab driver drove them around Flatbush for an hour.

I'll go further than that, I can't fucking stand his music. Those spoken sort of songs he did late in his career especially. Dross.

 

Otis was the fucking man.

If you want the tournament to be exciting people should be honest & I think he was a boring cunt.

[Trumo]

It's a simple equation for me. I like more of Otis' stuff than Cash's stuff.

Yeah of course I want people to be honest! Doesn't stop me being able to reply to such fucking tosh though. 

 

Johnny Cash was a boring cunt. 

 

I've heard it all. 

[SasaS]

That's now The Clash, Velvet Underground, The Doors, Bruce Springsteen and Johnny Cash on Mook's I can't-stand- their-music-list. Quite a collection. And I probably missed many more.

[Mook]

Fully expecting Conway Twitty to dump James Brown out next.

 

Fucking hillbillies.

You have a good memory, I wouldn't quite put The Doors in amongst that other gaggle of shite though.
