Thriller & The Birthday Party cancel each other out with true greatness.
Jackson 5 definitely deserve some major props... far more than Boys Next Door (who I like plenty).
Latter ear Jackson and Cave do little for me, but there's no doubt that Cave has maintained sanity and relevancy over time.
But when you really get down to it, only one of these two can sing.
I can't even vote on this.

And by "latter ear" I of course meant "latter era". As far as I know, MJ's ears are the only original part of him remaining.

You were probably thinking about an ear of corn. In fact, according to this website, the term "comes from the Gothic word for 'husk of corn' which was ahs".

xp ian: the goth corn is the one on the far right, right next to the reggae corn.

The question being: Are ILM poll-takers tasteless morons? The answer: Most certainly.
― Alex in NYC, Thursday, 30 April 2009 02:14 (fourteen years ago) link
We tasteless morons also like to dance.

(I'm particularly impatient with Nick Cave after watching his performance in the Leonard Cohen "I'm Your Man" thing: he needed a wet mop in his face)

the fact that this wasn't 5 to 1 sorta disappoints me.

I imagine if mj didn't have 'character issues' people realllly wouldn't have any excuse

how different would this exercise be if Quincy Jones had produced Nick Cave?
― peepee, Thursday, 30 April 2009 12:00 (fourteen years ago) link
And Blixa Bargeld had played guitar for Jacko?
― Sacco, Vanzetti, Passantino... (Tom D.), Thursday, 30 April 2009 12:07 (fourteen years ago) link
Considering the artist's respective sales, I reckon the Goth vote held up pretty well.
Preferred Cave well before MJ's 'character issues' started to show, don't need an excuse. Up for Cave's Quincy Jackson album though. Blixa/MJ, not so much.
― Soukesian, Thursday, 30 April 2009 15:54 (fourteen years ago) link
They played this one at the goth club some weeks back and I was like "man, these people know how to choose a particularly stellar all-time-best Nick Cave song". You folks who like Tom Waits, I want you to look me in the eye and tell me why you don't like this.

So when is there going to be a Crime and The City Solution vs. Nick Cave poll?
― xhuxk, Sunday, 3 May 2009 04:06 (fourteen years ago) link
Aww...actually I don't know if I even owned a Crime & The City Solution record. I did own one of those ex-Bad Seeds records, but I don't think it was them.

I don't like Crime and the City Solution as much as Bad Seeds, but These Immortal Souls are on-par.

Reverse the digits.
Michael Jackson sucks and, therefore, you suck for liking him.

I wasn't wrong.

what would be more enjoyable? Cave covering 'Jam' or Jackson covering 'No Pussy Blues'?
