Best rivalries in music?

[Fedorgasm]

What are your favorite rivalries and who do you think won each?


Mine are:

Michael Jackson vs. Prince (MJ wins)

The Beatles vs. the Beach Boys (Beatles win)

Metallica vs. Megadeth (This is probably a controversial opinion but I think in the long run Megadeth wins)

Biggie vs. 2Pac (This one is close but I like 2Pac's best song better than Biggie's best song so I give it to Pac)

Madonna vs. Cyndi Lauper (I begrudgingly have to admit Madonna won this one)

Britney Spears vs. Christina Aguilera (Christina wins by not becoming a crazy meth head)

Oasis Vs Blur was the main one in the UK when I was growing up but in retrospect I think it was manufactured to get them both attention.

 

[Boomb]

I never heard of the Beatles vs. Beach Boys rivalry.

 

[Van Daz]

Sly & Arnie

 

[BFoe]

I never heard of the Beatles vs. Beach Boys rivalry.

It was definitely a thing, each band trying to outdo the other. Paul McCartney has said many times that “Sgt Pepper” was sort of inspired by and an answer to the Beach Boys’ “Pet Sounds.”

[Pliny Pete]

I never heard of the Beatles vs. Beach Boys rivalry.

I was thinking the same thing, I didnt realize the Beach Boys were considered musical heavy hitters like that, I always thought they were a novelty act, learned something new

 

[RollSonnenRoll]

Van Halen Brothers vs their singers











This is the only 2 minutes in Dave's life that he wasn't "zippedy boop woo!" Diamond Dave. Takes a lot to get that out of him.
