I was fond of 'Bonedriven' at the time and still vaguely am.

"Swallowed" is aight and has the '90s edgelord neon cross video
― Greta Van Show Feets BB (milo z), Friday, 3 January 2020 03:42 (six years ago)
Live , I actually like Secret Samadhi and lots of Throwing Copper, but Ed Kowalczyk had some of the weirdest intonation of any singer ever.
lightning "creshes"?

Both bands had good songs
― brimstead, Friday, 3 January 2020 03:43 (six years ago)
Both bands played hard
and yeah I know the hall of fame thread it inspired. but I remember thinking "why does he think that word has more than one syllable" half the time
xxpost
"Dolphin's Cry" was a bridge too far
Bush was a bigger influence on fashion (with those shotbead necklaces) than any band in these polls too

No idea why but 'I rushed the lady's room / Took the water from the toilet / Washed her feet and blessed her name' left an indelible mark on me.

this is unfair. both are dope and STP is clearly gonna lose by a lot.

isn't there supposed to be some kind of seeding process so matchups like this don't happen

in the finals yes but this is merely the 3 seed vs 14 seed match

GBV, by default, as 10 minutes ago I wasn't 100% sure I'd heard STP. Turns out that I know "Vasoline" and "Plush", at least. The former is... not bad, actually.
(Also discovered a weirdly pertinent upcoming local event: "together for the first time in Australia will be Live, Bush and Stone Temple Pilots!" Bless.)
― Nag! Nag! Nag!, Friday, 3 January 2020 05:58 (six years ago)
GBV has songs that sound like "Still Remains."
I probably like "Lady Picture Show" better than "As We Go Up We Go Down"

There are about 35 bands mentioned in this thread that are worse than the two being polled.

These are two of my favorite bands and I hate this poll.

... LOL Britishes.
Tbh this is obv a disaster as a poll but I did think GBV worked as a great foil for STP, maybe teasing out what the latter band actually did well rather than just their rep
― PLEB AF (Drugs A. Money), Friday, 3 January 2020 08:15 (six years ago)
...like I def expect STP would've done a killer version of Buzzards and Dreadful Crows or even Smothered in Hugs

this poll is insulting
anyone itt who think GBV have <100 great songs just doesn't know the catalogue
which is obv no easy task but pls

Hell, there are 100+ great songs on Alien Lanes alone.

just in terms of polished "big" rock
Isolation Dills >>>>>>> STP greatest hits
― Suggest Banshee (Hadrian VIII), Friday, 3 January 2020 14:17 (six years ago)
^Drills
anyone looking for a starting point, Human Amusements at Hourly Rates has to be one of the two or three best indie rock "greatest hits" ever (not much competition, I know)
― bold caucasian eroticism (Simon H.), Friday, 3 January 2020 14:19 (six years ago)
If your band doesn't have an album that tops GBV's odd-and-sods boxset bonus disc King Shit and the Golden Boys then your discography in general is likely to pale in comparison.
― Drive Like a Demon From Steakhouse to Steakhouse (Old Lunch), Friday, 3 January 2020 14:20 (six years ago)
if "big bang baby" were 1.5 minutes long it'd be a pretty sick gbv song maybe

Alternately, STP could've done a swell 'Postal Blowfish'.

Soundgarden voter here that will begrudgingly admit there are about 2-4 good STP songs that were murdered by MTV in the 93-95 era.
I have seen GBV at least 8 times.

Lol, I just looked up that song and it's only 2:52. I could have sworn it was close to 5 minutes.

"interstate love song"'s economy is part of why i think it's a really awesome song. two verses + two choruses + that riff
