Beatles are better than Elvis Presley
Nina Simone is better than Billy Holliday
Run DMC is better than Rappers Delight
Salif Keita is better than Youssou N'Dour
Alison Krauss is better than Kate Rusby
Gershwin is better than Copland
Coltrane is better than Davis
John Mayer is better than Jason Mraz
Kevin Johansson is better than Manu Chao
Backstreet Boys are better than N'Sync
Mariah Carey is better than Whitney Houston

Think of ones like this. It's sort of fun;)

You're right Joe, this is fun!
Let's try:
-Jay-Z is better than Snoop Dogg
-blink-182 is better than Green Day
-Yellowcard is better than the All-American Rejects
-Ace of Base is better than Cascada
-Dave Matthews is better than the Goo Goo Dolls
-Jimmy Eat World is better than Fall Out Boy
-U2 is better than Bruce Springsteen
-The Beatles are better than all of them!
This is seriously borderline laughable. Bob Dylan being better by anyone?
Bruce Springsteen bettered by anyone named Bob Dylan? Come on.
Maybe I am missing the point of the exercise here. But still.
It is usually almost sacrilege to say those kind of things, so why joke about it?
Joe Z, I disagree. Green Day is way better than Blink!
No it's not so bad to say those things about The Boss - it's someone's opinion.
I leave very few things to sacredness. Perhaps something of religious nature, which is not the Boss. Not yet:)
