Too much Covid for me so here is a silly game. There are no winners/losers. We might find out who we would attend a concert with after we all get vaccinated

Jeff Beck vs. Beck
Bob Dylan vs. Bob Marley
Stevie Ray Vaughn vs. Stevie Nicks

1. Pass. Stay home and watch Survivor.
2. EVH
3. Jeff Beck though I like Beck's music more--I just don't want to be abducted by his Scientologist henchmen
4. Bob Marley, are you kidding me?
5. Stevie Nicks, come on. Every man or woman who answers this will say Nicks.
6. Hendrix. He's cool and chill. I don't want people who stuff fish into orifices.
7. Elvis Costello.
8. Smokey, I guess.
9. Pass. Stay home and watch Big Brother.
10. Pass. Stay home and watch The Real World.
11. Very very tough decision. I'd rather hang out with Queen but how can I pass up Let's Go Crazy? Prince.
12. Pink Floyd.

 

[HuskyV]

Beck - never exposed to Jeff
Bob Dylan - two legends Dylan has the volume
Stevie Nicks - need a lady at this party

Elvis Presley the King
Smokey Robinson - smooth
Parrotheads - would like to go to a dead show with parrrotheads
Chicago - gotta have some horns

[gtcam]

The tough one - Van Morrison due to longevity and total package
Eddie Van Halen - substance over blather
Jeff Beck - one of the greatest guitarists who gets little love
Tie - both great at their own genre 2 great Bobs
Stevie Ray V - creativity matters
Hendrix - have to go with the original master of amplifier music - also a great blues man
The King - hands down
Chris Robinson - the last hippie
Deadheads - not even close
Chicago - a classic band - the first 2 albums are absolute must haves
Queen - only because I love their music more than Prince
Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon stands alone

 

[HooperScooper]

Neither. Hate both.
Queen
Pink Floyd

I think all Chicago fans would have traded Peter Cetera to Kansas for a musician to be named later. Probably would have worked out better for both bands.

Van Morrison- Not a fan of either but Morrison is so overrated
Eddie Van Halen- When Spicoli won a wad of cash saving Brooke Shields he knew who to hire for his bday party. (Don't bore me with details like Vedder hadn't accomplished anything when Fast Times came out).
Jeff Beck- This is the only #1 vs play-in winner in the bracket.
Bob Marley- Bob wrote great songs and sange from the heart but Bob sang songs better and sang from his soul.
Stevie Ray Vaughn- Nicks annoys me for the damn social media meme suggesting she is such an alpha for writing the lyrics for Go Your Own Way and made Lyndsey sing them. Actually Lyndsey wrote them and made her sing them.
Jimmy Page- Hendryx is nothing more than a cover band for The Jimmy Hendrix Experience
Elvis Presley- The King
Smokey Robinson- Really thought Black Crowes had a chance to go on a 20 year run of excellence. Props to Chris for banging Goldie's daughter for a bit.
Parrotheads- They're annoying but they smell less and leave less waste behind
Chicago- See opening comment
Prince- His stuff still sounds fresh today
Pink Floyd- By the way, which one's Pink? @nomar , thanks for the education on that one. Also, check out our conversation a month before the election. You and I were way better prognosticating than any professional pollsters.

Really cool list/question, it's too difficult. Most will pick Smokey but I just have to give a shout-out to Chris Robinson. He sounds absolutely amazing these days, great to see him back with his bro.

[upstater]

I think I read this wrong. Most people are answering what concert they'd rather attend after covid. I answered who I'd rather have pick me up in a limo so we could attend, say, I dunno, a Miley Cyrus concert together.

 

[Deepster]

Jim Morrison vs. Van Morrison - Teenage Deepster says Jim, Current Deepster says Van
Eddie Vedder vs. Eddie Van Halen - EVH 1000%
Jeff Beck vs. Beck - Jeff...although I don't really care for either
Bob Dylan vs. Bob Marley - Marley. Not close.
Stevie Ray Vaughn vs. Stevie Nicks - SRV.
Jimmy Page vs. Jimi Hendryx - Hendrix. Page without Plant is nothing.
Elvis Presley vs. Elvis Costello - The King. And I've been to Graceland.
Smokey Robinson vs. Chris Robinson - Chris. Not close.
Deadheads vs. Parrotheads - Deadheads. Jimmy Buffett music stinks.
Chicago vs. Kansas - Chicago.
Queen vs. Prince - Queen. They don't fit any specific genre, but cross over into like 8 of them.
Black Sabbath vs. Pink Floyd - Pink Floyd. If they ever decided to tour, there'd be no max ticket price.

[HuskyHawk]

Van Morrison. Not close. Really don’t like Jim.
Eddie Van Halen, another easy one.
Jeff Beck maybe easiest of all.
Bob Dylan vs. Bob Marley. Finally a tough call, I’ll say Dylan.
Stevie Ray Vaughn vs. Stevie Nicks. How old is Stevie Nicks at this concert? Young Nicks wins but old Nicks loses to Stevie Ray
Jimmy Page in a close one
Elvis Presley absolutely
Smokey Robinson eAst
Parrotheads for sure. I am one.
Chicago vs. Kansas. Toss up, prefer old Chicago music, but I’ll go with Kansas.
Queen
Black Sabbath. I feel like you want to party with Ozzy.

[QDOG5]

First, typo on Hendrix. Second, I was thinking of what yarders have similar music tastes and therefore I'd be more likely to attend concerts with those people. Also, I'm not just considering the individuals but the bands they played in. My list is
Jim
Vedder
Beck
Marley
SRV
Page
Costello
Chris
Deadheads
Chicago
Queen
Floyd

• Jim Morrison. Sorry Van fans, don't like him.
• Eddie Van Halen. I find Pearl Jam annoying even though my wife is obsessed with Vedder.
• Beck. For me, one of the most inspirational musicians for me growing up. In the mid-90s his creativity was off the charts.
• More of a toss up than like ten years ago, but I'll still go with Marley but I like Dylan in small doses.
• Stevie Nicks. Growing up, my dad was a huge Fleetwood Mac fan and still love their music to this day.
• Jimmy Page. Zeppelin are my favorite classic rock fan.
• I guess Elvis. Not a fan of either.
• Smokey Robinson lean.
• Deadheads, easy.
• I guess Kansas.
• Prince, although I really like a lot of Queen's songs.
• Pink Floyd. "Fearless" is one of my favorite songs of all-time. I listen to it every time I take off from the runway.

 

[Travelman6]

Jim Morrison
Eddie Vedder - if he plays his much earlier stuff, otherwise, will pick another early 90s group
Jeff Beck
Bob Marley (already seen Bob Dylan)
Stevie Ray Vaughn
Jimi Hendrix
Elvis Costello
No clue who either of those is
What? Deadheads, as in, Grateful Dead (tribute band)?
Chicago - if they play their earlier stuff from the late 60s
Queen
Pink Floyd

 

[Rico444]

Jim Morrison vs. Van Morrison
Eddie Vedder vs. Eddie Van Halen
Jeff Beck vs. Beck
Bob Dylan vs. Bob Marley
Stevie Ray Vaughn vs. Stevie Nicks
Jimmy Page vs. Jimi Hendrix - Even fixed the spelling for you
Elvis Presley vs. Elvis Costello
Smokey Robinson vs. Chris Robinson
Deadheads vs. Parrotheads
Chicago vs. Kansas
Queen vs. Prince
Black Sabbath vs. Pink Floyd

 

[Get a Job]

Jim Morrison vs. Van Morrison - Never like the Doors, but Jim Morrison seems like he would be way more fun to see in concert.
Eddie Vedder vs. Eddie Van Halen - Vedder has a cool voice, but EVH is a legend
Jeff Beck vs. Beck - Don't know Jeff Beck's music
Bob Dylan vs. Bob Marley - Tough one, but how could one pass up Marley?
Stevie Ray Vaughn vs. Stevie Nicks
Jimmy Page vs. Jimi Hendryx - Mount Rushmore of guitarists. Not sure whom I would pick over Hendricks, if anyone.
Elvis Presley vs. Elvis Costello - Please
Smokey Robinson vs. Chris Robinson - Don't know Smokey
Deadheads vs. Parrotheads - Write-in vote for Juggalos
Chicago vs. Kansas - I know one song between these two bands, unless "Dust in the Wind" is by Kansas. Then it's two.
Queen vs. Prince
Black Sabbath vs. Pink Floyd

 

[FatElvis]

The correct answer to all of these is Elvis Aaron Presley.

Thank you. Thank you very much.
