I'm resurrecting a thread from the long-defunct AAJ board. It's simple idea, but it sometimes prompted some good discussion. And it's always interesting to see what people's preferences are, how they compare to your own. Since this is in the Miscellaneous Music section, let's limit ourselves to music -- but it doesn't necessarily have to be jazz. Some examples:
- Rollins or Coltrane? (the classic duality)
- Dylan or Joni? (the classic duality, singer-songwriter edition)
- The Stones or The Who? (the classic duality, rock edition)
- Dewey Redman or Don Redman? (wordplay is always a plus)
- Atlantic Jazz in the 60s or Atlantic Jazz in the 70s? (the label thing, the decade thing)
When you make a choice, you can provide a rationale, if you'd like -- but it's not required. Then you provide the next set of choices, and so it goes, leapfrogging along.
I'll go first:
Chu Berry or Herschel Evans?
