And Pere Ubu were way better Captain Beefheart.
And Public Enemy (and lots of other rap acts, politically minded and otherwise) are better than the Last Poets or Gil Scott-Heron.

Eh? The Tubes better than Zappa? (jeri don't know me very well do she?)
A closer call, but I'd still give it to Beefheart -- mainly because I wouldn't exactly peg Pere Ubu as strictly Beefheart imitators.

Refer to "This Charming Man" and its Motown shuffle. Now imagine it with nothing good about that combination (like Gene's "This is Not My Crime," f'r instance).
And the Auteurs (and London Suede) are better than the Smiths.
The Auteurs, ARGH! Pain!
I have no doubt about Lifter Puller being better than Pavement, though. But what's a good place to start?
Sublime are better than the Red Hot Chili Peppers.P.O.D. are better than Korn.Crazytown are better than the Chili Peppers OR Korn (but not Sublime.)
Everything being relative, I agree with this completely.
that totally trounced their minimalist asses in the song department
"The Model" has a melody and a beat, what more do you want? ;-)
I might take "I Got My Mind Set On You" over having tacks driven into my butt-cheeks.
How about somebody else's butt-cheeks?

I've already enraged several hilarious rockists to the point of incoherent internet fury (possibly) by suggesting that Electric Wizard do this to Sabbath. Now it's your turn for a spot of mild iconoclasm!

I have this feeling occasionally about the self - titled Paramore vs. Blondie. I'll have to hear another album or two of new stuff though before I'd go around starting arguments with people about it though.

Lovecraft, horror films and cannabis.

imo this is always more interesting when the bands who do the "bettering" actually kind of epic-ly fail in their copy: see Miles Davis thinking he was playing music like Sly Stone or Jimi Hendrix on Bitches Brew, Led Zeppelin playing old blues songs, Magma wanting to play spiritual music a la Coltrane

but yeah you're right, there's absolutely no way any sane adult could possibly commit the grievous aesthetic error of deeming Electric Wizard to be subjectively more enjoyable than Black Sabbath - it's impossible; such a person could not exist, and insanity is the only logical diagnosis
