"Well, you got me floating 'round and 'round..."
Tumblr media
K, I've spent a few days consoling myself, so I have the strength to say, yay! I knew Brian wouldn't go all the way, but I'm glad that it was his hero, Jimi Hendrix, who kicked him into the Shadow Realm. :-)

George Harrison, 1974; photo by Henry Grossman.
Q: “George, I’d like to sort of bring in one point that… Obviously I’d never met you before and the image that I had of you by reading all the pop papers and all the things about you was that you were terribly sort of into mysticism, and pretty far out and all that.” George Harrison: “Misrepresentation, y’see.” Q: “And you’re very down-to-earth now that we’ve actually met.” GH: “I’m very practical and just very simple.” Q: “The press paint a totally different picture of you.” GH: “Yeah, because the press are such dummies generally speaking. I mean there are some great writers and in some ways do a useful job but generally speaking they’re such a bunch of dummies that their whole thing is just to sell a paper with some stupid sort of headline or some type of thing, so they do tend to misrepresent to the masses what’s happening. My image has come across like I’m some weird old mystical ex-Beatle, the ‘gentle giant of pop,‘ you know. What’s all that? It’s dumb, it’s just stupid.” - Capital Radio, August 1974 (x)

Round one
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Pogues 
Formed in: 1982
Genres: celtic punk, folk punk
Lineup: Shane MacGowan- vocals
James Fearnley- accordion
Jen Finer- guitar, banjo, mandala
Terry Woods-  mandolin, cittern 
Peter “Spider” Stacy-  vocals
Andrew Ranken-  drums, percussion 
Cait O’Riordan- bass replaced by
Darryl Hunt-  bass

Red Roses for Me (1984)
Rum, Sodomy, and the Lash (1985)
If I Should Fall From Grace With God (1988)
Peace and Love (1988)
Propaganda: There is really no one else like them. Landing in the middle of the New Romantic era in London, the Pogues married punk’s contrarian tendencies with the fire of Irish folk music. They made music about displaced immigrants, political prisoners, and Celtic warriors, including the most popular Christmas song year after year in the British Isles, ‘Fairytale of New York’ . 
I wasn’t prepared for how sad I’d be when Shane MacGowan died this past November, even though I’d been expecting it for a while. 
The Cross

Genres: Pop rock, dance-rock, hard rock
Lineup: Roger Taylor- lead vocals and rhythm guitar (of queen)
Spike Edney- keyboard and backing vocals (of queen)
Clayton Moss- lead guitar and backing vocals
Peter Noone- bass guitar and backing vocals
Josh Macrae- drums and backing vocals
Albums from the 80s:
Shove It (1988)
Propaganda: roger and spike and clayton make me drop 2 my knees g o d

Jimi Hendrix (1942-1970) The Jimi Hendrix Experience - guitar and vocals Songs: "Voodoo Child," "Foxy Lady" Defeated Opponents: Elvis Costello, Clyde McPhatter, Robin Zander, Arlo Guthrie, Brian Eno Propaganda: none
Brian May (1947-) Queen - guitar Songs: "White Queen (As It Began,)" "The Prophet's Song" Defeated Opponents: Ronnie Lane, John Coltrane, Roger Hodgson, Paul McCartney Propaganda: "He's very tall, his hair is the stuff of legends, his brain is the size of planets, he has a doctorate in astronomy, he built the guitar he still plays to this day (like a god) as a teenager. His songwriting and musical abilities have made him a legend in his own right and he also plays with this little group called Queen. Everyone who's ever met him unanimously say that he's the nicest, most decent person there ever was. Also, he's ridiculously beautiful in every decade he's been on this earth. Need I say more?" "While Freddie is hot and Roger is pretty, Brian stands out as sort of ethereally beautiful. He floats across the stage in Zandra Rhodes while delivering heavy riffs, then switches to self-harmonizing in as light and fae a manner as you could wish." "An Angel singing with his beautiful voice and his very own special guitar. On the best Rock tracks ever! His face like a greek god surrounded by heavenly curls, prancing skillfully on the stage with his long legs in platform shoes."
Freddie Mercury (1946-1991) Queen - lead vocals and piano Songs: "Bohemian Rhapsody," "Seven Seas of Rhye" Defeated Opponents: Leonard Cohen, Sting, Sammy Davis Jr., Marc Bolan Propaganda: see visual

I was curious if the Brian May vs Freddie Mercury poll was exactly even or not so I put it into https://glittering.world/poll-grabber and they got EXACTLY the same number of votes lol
Tumblr media
Yeah sadly the final number of votes was an even number, but if it wasn't...I would have tried til I died to figure out who actually won
Anyway the tool you used seems extremely useful for future polls!
