My hypothetical group of dead musicians is better than yours (BAND VERSION)

http://www.youtube.com... http://www.youtube.com... http://www.youtube.com... http://www.youtube.com... It's a shame about the forfeit as I was really looking forward to Leet's arguments. In this final round, I'll just summarise each category as well as providing some video sources of the members of my band. DRUMS: As conceded by Con, Keith Moon wins the drummer duel. I went into detail before about his technical ability, star quality and the extra spark and dynamism he could bring to any band. BASS: Mingus clearly wins over Burton. He is one of the most respected composers of the last century (see source in round 2) and was a devastatingly competent bass player. I showed in the last round that despite his temper he was most definitely a team player, which was my opponent's only real argument in this category. GUITAR: Please, just look at these two guitarists in terms of the impact they made and the legacy they left behind. Jimi wins, even if you accept Vaughan as a technically better player, which I do not. VOCALS: Perhaps the closest category, I still believe this is a walkover for my guy. Because we are considering categories such as song-writing, lyrics and general musicianship rather than just vocal ability, John pees all over Freddie's chips. SONG-WRITING: In round 2, I pointed out the compositional achievements and talents in my band. Because Leet could not rebut this, he made the same argument about teamwork he has made throughout this debate. Although I examined early on how the styles of my band members would complement each other, I also had to explain in the last round that successful song writing is most often a solo activity. The depth and range of material my group would be able to come up with would be immense with three amazing and prolific composers working individually as well as building on each other's ideas. One successful formula could be Jimi coming up with a chord progression, John setting lyrics to it and Mingus arranging the piece. I personally would love to hear the results. LIVE PERORMANCE: Again Leet could not say much about his group in this category, so he attempted to cast dispersions on the potential cohesion of my band, focusing mostly on the personality foibles of Mingus and Moon. All of my band were professional musicians who had extremely successful careers within band line-ups. They would all have immense respect and admiration for each others abilities and this would encourage a great group dynamic with no one holding back the flow of creativity. Sure there might be occasional power struggles between the potentially grouchy Lennon and Mingus but who could stay angry with the antics of Keith and the serenity of Jimi to break and/or calm the tension. In any case, this kind of dynamic was a winning formula for many bands, as discussed last round. CONCLUSION: I invite readers to suspend their own favouritism and look through the categories above to decide which would be the greater band. Thanks to my opponent for a great debate, hopefully he will stick to refutations and summary in this last round as I won't be able to respond to any brand new arguments. Thanks. Pro.
