I would vote for Kim Deal over Aretha based on her Breeders work alone; simply more interesting to me. her Pixies work sets her over the top

🤔 I sort of agree with Necharsian, although it doesn't seem fair to exclude these artists from a tourney just because they were/are in a band. It's not like they are contributing less than the solo artists anyway. And if not, then perhaps we should start removing artists that had help from producers, lyricists and session musicians.

I suppose the best you can hope for is a certain amount of understanding from the voter. Ex don't vote for Nico because of her work on Heroin.

I meant *solo* artists. It's just impossible to compare a member of band to a solo artist without just comparing the band itself to a solo artist.

The Pixies vs Aretha Franklin is a much different comparison. And probably one that most people are using when deciding in this poll.

This x100

Saying that fans of a certain genre are less likely to listen to anything else is like saying fans of Chinese food are less likely to eat anything else.

Also I think this tourney should have been limited to just female artists rather than members of a band. Although i would rather listen to the Pixies than Aretha, comparing Kim Deal with her is impossible.

You don't have it right. What I was saying is that I believe you are mistaken in grouping all country fans together when you are really just referring to one little sub grouping within that genre.

All I'm saying is that it seems to me that that little sub group is a larger percentage of the whole than sub groups of other genres.

Yes, you did claim to know. I said it seemed one way to me and you said with certainty that I was wrong. How would you know I was wrong unless you knew which genre was right? And now you're saying that country fans aren't the most likely, but that they're somewhere in the top three or so? I'm just trying to make sure I have this right.

You don't have it right. What I was saying is that I believe you are mistaken in grouping all country fans together when you are really just referring to one little sub grouping within that genre.

I'm not the one who claimed to know, but with a gun to my head: chart pop fans, chart country fans, and indie pop/rock fans.

There are also rumors of some old classic rock farts but until someone shows me a believable photo of Nessie I won't believe those rumors.

Or, in short, you're wrong about this one. Don't be sad though. That doesnt mean you are generally more wrong than the next guy.

Since you know, which genre's fans are more likely to listen to that genre exclusively?

What I said is just what it seems like to me. I didn't conduct a survey or do comprehensive research, obviously. It's just based on what I've personally observed, which is, of course, different than what other people have. And based on those personal observations, I still believe that someone who lists country as their favorite genre of music is less likely to listen to other new music than people who list another genre as their favorite. I'm not saying that the majority of big country music fans are like that, but just that they seem more likely to be that way than people who have other genres as favorites.

I'll have to disagree with you about country music fans. What you are describing is one little grouping among all the proponents of the genre. There are those who only listen to the current country charts just like there are those who only listen to the current pop charts. There are those who keep playing Conway Twitty, Hank Snow or George Jones just like there are those who keep listening to Elton John, Frank Sinatra or Joni Mitchell. The thing those people, whether within the country or the pop genre, have in common is that they are not really all that interested in music. The may like to listen to it but they don't want to explore it.

Among those who are genuinely interested in music and like country, you will find just as many eager to explore other genres as anywhere else. I believe you may have based your conclusion on too limited a sample population.

I don't doubt it's a matter of personal preference, after all, it would be strange if someone consciously voted for what they like less. I do however believe this particular personal preference is to some extent based on ignorance. I also believe that Aretha Franklin losing this one says something about the composition of the populace of this institution, and in this case that something is more limited than it wants to be.

So just because more voters prefer Kim Deal to Aretha Franklin that automatically makes them ignorant?
