Rest of The World Bands - Round 2 - Bee Gees vs Toots and the Maytals

[Mook]

The singles charts are a great way to find out what music is absolutely shite, generally speaking.

[Code]

Fuckin hell, even Norwegian comedians have had bigger success than these Jamaican jokers.

Record sales are not the only way to measure success in music. In fact, they're probably not the best way.

 

If you use that as your form of measurement, you can end up thinking Take That are more successful musicians than The John Coltrane Quartet.

I don't think they give you a choice.

I typed it into google (with Metal) and this is the first picture that came up. That is 100% Code in the middle

Take metal out and you get the same - I am unsure if there are any black Norwegian musicians.

Aurora should be loved in here though.

Serious question

 

Are there any black musicians?

The trio racked up nine Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 singles -- more than any other group in history save for the Beatles (with 20) and the Supremes (12).

How can they compete against such a successful band as Toots and the Maytals.

 

I mean three singles on the Billboard top 200 charts, with their biggest hit peaking at number 157 for one week in 1976.

 

 

I'm pretty sure someone has already pointed out that it's not a record sales tournament. 

[SasaS]

The beegeesus! We just can't get rid of them.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

Lou Reed has never had a solo Number One single.

Joe Dolce has.

 

Joe Dolce is a better artist than Lou Reed.

QED

We obviously do, here are a few with international recognition. 

 

 

 

 

[TheHowieLama]

No disrespect man but if those crews have international recognition - Toots is the black Elvis.

Getting to the top of the Billboard chart is extremely difficult, these guys have not made it yet, so far they have peaked at number 4.

 

You were the one asking about black Norwegian artists, not me. 

 

 

 

[TheHowieLama]

I got bad news -- never heard of the cunts. Maybe just me cuz I haven't heard of 90% of the folks you post.

 

Toots however was recognized and celebrated around the globe as a pioneer.

 

Anyway you can rock yourself to sleep with Nights on Broadway.

Open the poll up for another 24 hours and see if anyone else votes.
