Damn. I still want to punish Aerosmith for their disasterous decision to perform with the whore and the boy band at the Super Bowl, but I just can't let the Beatles win.

Just curious - what do people have against the Beatles? They're probably my favorite band. Is it just the whole "They're considered the best band ever so they can't actually be it" thing?

[Kodos]

I know I get tired of hearing that they are the best (the same applies for Led Zeppelin and some other bands). And personally, I don't like their style of music. Strangely, I usually like their songs when they are performed by other bands.

I'm simply not a fan of the Beatles style of music...

But then again you think Def Leppard is a great band so you clearly have no taste in music. ;)

[RonnieDobbs]

Kodos and JeeberD - What do you feel to be the Beatles style of music? I just find that they're extremely diverse, and each album has a very distinctive "sound" from all others.

What I like about them best is the songwriting. They do a fabulous job of mixing words and ideas with music.

[Kodos]

I have no taste in music, as primelord points out. That probably accounts for most of my statements. :)

[Kodos]

Looks like Steven Tyler better get those gi-normous lips busy kissing a whole bunch of asses if he wants to come out on top here!

[tucker342]

The Beatles are the far better band, even though I don't really like either one of them...

[Kodos]

Congrats to the Beatles, who have won the final installment of FOFC Musical Survivor!

Where are you Marmel?

[Marmel]

On cue..........

We can only hope it is the final installment of a Kodos Poll (tm).

[Kodos]

Oh, there will be other polls to take, but this is the end of the line for Musical Survivor. Let the dancing in the streets begin!

[Marmel]

I think this lived 2 volumes too long........but Kodos is the master of overkill.

[Kodos]

It will make you smile that Futility Bowl was a one-time thing. ;)

[Marmel]

one time too many thing, you say? :)

[Kodos]

By the way, am I really the master of overkill? How so?

[JeeberD]

Heh, over on ClutchCity.net (the Houston Rockets fansite) someone has started a Rockets Survivor. It looks like the idea is to vote off who shouldn't be back with the Rox next year.

Look like you have a wide influence, Kodos... :)
