Well well well
Since no one else is bothering with the votes
Metallica wins with only one vote :l

But anyways onto the next round:

[spoiler=My Opinion]
Deadmau5, no questioning to it

The guy in the mickey mouse mask knows electronic music like the back of his hand[/spoiler]

[quote]Deadmau5, no questioning to it

Joel's done way more than The Lumineers could ever do.
He's done Progressive House, Electro, and even Ambient music

Before saying "He's done nothing but dance music"
Even back when he first came out he never was doing anything related to House or Electro
And some of his more recent songs don't have anything to do with Modern EDM as well.

Oh and FYI he only did one Dubstep song
He doesn't even like Dubstep at all[/quote]

Not /too/ sure what the argument is. Essentially, deadmau5 is better because he's touched more genres? Considering that plenty of amazing artists stick to the genre they are best at, I'd say it's a strange argument.

I'll give a vote to the Lumineers even though I like deadmau5 because they have a great grasp on rustic folk. They have a melodic sensibility that keeps them rooted in their alternative roots.

No it's not that
I don't think that you need to do more than one genre to be better
If I were to say that then I'd be a total hypocrite
Since I listen to a lot of one genre artists
And to me in order to be a good artist you need to know what genre you do better
I was just trying to explain why I think Joel has a better grasp on electronic music
That's all

I meant to say that I find Deadmau5 to be more creative than the Lumineers that's all

Okay it seems as if Deadmau5 lost his cheese and went to find it
So The Lumineers ran ahead of him and now they're moving forward
Now it's Gotye Vs. Maroon 5

[spoiler=My Opinion]
Gotye has one over played song
While Maroon 5 only made a few good songs

...tough call but I'll say Gotye
Maroon 5 only made a handful of good songs the rest of them are crap[/spoiler]

Crap, I forgot all about this. I've been super busy lately and this slipped my mind.

Anyway, Maroon 5. Adam Levine is one of my favorite singers in today's music and I just love their music, especially their latest album. I only like one song from Gotye from what I've heard of him ("Somebody That I Used to Know"). So...yeah, Maroon 5 gets my vote.

Overexposed was a really eh album, and only Songs about Jane and Hands All Over were really noteworthy albums regarding Maroon 5's style. Making Mirrors is one of the best albums of the 10s really: musical ingenuity at its best.

Also, people should vote after they've had a listen of a sample of both artists' songs. Otherwise, it literally becomes: "Well, I've heard one song of this artist and thirty of the other. I'll be biased and choose the one I've heard more of."

That was one of the reasons why I started putting the samples of the artists up

But anyways we are at a tie right now
Both Gotye and Maroon 5 have 2 votes
