UM>MOE. (Jim is the man though)
Vitor Wooten vs Les Claypool = tough call
Most Epic phish show ever:
12-31-95
Hands down.
no way. i mean, i wasn\'t there so i dont really know, but i\'ve listened to that shiz a million times, i say no. it was obviously epic, but i like other shows better. i like 3-22-93, i think, maybe 94. that gamehenge show. that

Wooten, but he has a serious man-crush on Stanley Clarke.
stanley clarke= all time BEST bass player ever. his self titled solo album alone destroys any effort that anyone else has made.
but jaco is really good, continuum especially is such a beatuful song. wooten also teases this tune on Live at the Quick. vic woot i think is way better (more talented) than les, for the record
Miles Davis\' "In a Silent Way", the best band ever assembled. only the mothers of 73 or 74 come close, imho (in my haggard opinion)
note: this is not a claim that In a Silent Way is Davis\' best album, just the best lineup
um owns moe, 6-22-94 and second set of 7-16-94 are my favorite shows at least for a while now, and i\'d say les because he would be way more fun to trip with (really hard to tell who\'s the better bassist in my mind)
^^^^ listen to Stanley Clarke by stanley clarke, and prepare to be pwned
Bach and Beethoven are not really comparable.
They are both classical compossars but wrote different styles (Baroque vs Romantic), and in different centuries.
The Breakfast vs. Phish
(I have the feeling that I am going to regret posting this... but I think it could be a good question if everybody thinks about it before they respond.)
Breakfast.
Metallica vs Black Sabbath
^^^^ listen to Stanley Clarke by stanley clarke, and prepare to be pwned
What do you think of Weather Report vs. Return to Forever?
There is a band called Weather Report?
Or is this a reference to Weather Report Suite?
Inwhich case I\'d vote for Weather Report Suite...
There is a band called Weather Report?
I see the vultures moving in...
Return to Forev. no doubt
i like weather report, but Corea is one of the best songwriters ever. if you haven\'t heard Enchantment by Chick Corea and Bela Fleck, you really need to check it out. really phenomenal music

OK, here\'s a shitstorm thread that needs to happen!
Discuss all classic band v. band matchups, or come up with new ones. Half the discussion could be whether two bands even warrant discussion against each other. Album v. album is also OK too.
Some classics:
Beatles v. Stones
Led Zep v. The Who
Phish v. Grateful Dead
Nirvana v. Pearl Jam
Miles v. Coltrane
Biggie v. 2Pac
Sugarhill Gang v. Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five
Beethoven v. Bach
Some reaches:
Tool v. Iron Maiden
SCI v. moe.
Rush v. Yes
Motley Crue v. Poison
Some albums:
(same band)
Houses of the Holy v. Led Zep IV
Rift v. Junta
White Album v. Sgt. Pepper\'s
Deuce v. Real Radio
(different band)
The Wall v. Tommy
Curtis v. Graduation
beatles
zep
phish
pearl jam
miles
2pac
sugarhill
beethoven

moe.
rush
poison
zep IV

Iiiiiiiii am a pinball machine iiiiiii can tell the difference between myyyyyyy belly button or navel ping pong pool cue or a foosball table.
I used to love moe. and still have a soft spot for some of their songs (Mcbain) but their last album pretty much sucked ass except for Zoz. Umphrey\'s on the other hand impress me more and more everytime.
As for Les vs. Vic, yeah vic is probably more technical, however Les (IMO) has created more completely origional music that really doesn\'t sound like anyone else. esp. w/ primus but his other projects are all pretty top notch (except for the one w/ gabby brown brown) as well.
the first ime i saw wootens band it was one of the greatest things ive ever seen, then when i saw them again and the show was almost exactly identical (even the trick licks reggie pulled on the guitar), i thought much lower of the band
