Rock and Roll Death Match #1 by Jeanine Bator

Jerry Lee Lewis

2025-10-06 16:37:14 UTC

I picked Jerry Lee Lewis because I liked Great Balls of Fire more than Buddy Holleys's music. I liked that the main instrument was the piano and how it was played.

2025-10-06 16:38:10 UTC

I picked Buddy Holly because the influence of him and his music is clear still years after he has passed.

Why you should vote Buddy Holly

2025-10-06 16:38:18 UTC

Buddy Holly was more influential in rock and roll than Jerry Lee Lewis. Buddy Holly music reached audiences more especially with his song "Peggy Sue." Buddy Holly was on the charts as one of the greatest artists of the 1950s, and was also labeled as the "King of Rock and Roll." Jerry Lee Lewis is mainly focused on a piano hip hop music thats not fully associated with rock.

2025-10-06 16:38:46 UTC

Jerry Lee Lewis "Great Balls of Fire" is a better example of the Rock and Roll music in the 1950's then Buddy Holly "Peggy sue" Because the instruments are more heard in Jerry Lee Lewis music and a bigger pease of the music, then it was in Buddy Holly's music.

JLL

2025-10-06 16:38:56 UTC

I picked Jerry Lee Lewis because his songs were catchier, and I liked how fast Great Balls of Fire is.

2025-10-06 16:39:15 UTC

all of Buddy Holly songs that we listened to are about one topic and its "love", now Jerry Lee Lewis's songs are also about love but they dont give off the same type of love (buddy holly is sticking to one topic and it sounds good and Jerry Lee Lewis makes his "love songs" sound jumbled up and all over the place).

Buddy Holly

2025-10-06 16:39:18 UTC

I picked Buddy Holly over Jerry Lee Lewis because all of Jerry Lee Lewis's music has a similar upbeat sound while Buddy Holly's is a little slower and different sounding each time.

2025-10-06 16:39:24 UTC

I picked Jerry Lee Lewis because his song Great Balls of Fire. I enjoyed how this song was upbeat and happy.

2025-10-06 16:39:31 UTC

I chose Buddy Holly because of the way the instruments flow in their music, and the fierceness in the vocals is so much better than Jerry Lee Lewis.

2025-10-06 16:39:55 UTC

Buddy Holly is a good example of blended sounds like country, rhythm and blues, and rockabilly which contribute to Rock and Roll. Buddy Holly’s music later inspires rock icons like The Beatles and The Rolling Stones.

2025-10-06 16:40:13 UTC

I picked Buddy Holly because I liked the song Peggy Sure more than Jerry Lee Lewis' songs.

2025-10-06 16:40:16 UTC

Jerry Lee Lewis is the better artist. He had better rhythm and instrumentation, was a bit more experimental with his sound, and had catchier songs, the type that would stick in your head longer than Holly's.

Buddy Holly

2025-10-06 16:40:18 UTC

I picked Buddy Holly because "Peggy Sue" and "That'll be the day" have a very fast tempo, and Buddy Holly was a great artist in the 1950s and was called the "king of Rock and Roll."

Buddy Holly

2025-10-06 16:40:21 UTC

I chose Buddy Holly because his music was like a chill vibe, which made me listen to his music more. I could see why his music was popular back then.

Buddy Holly

2025-10-06 16:40:34 UTC

I think Buddy Holly should be picked because more of his songs have a faster pace and sound that most Rock n' Roll songs, while Jerry Lee Lewis had some slower ones that don't show as much influence in Rock n' Roll.

2025-10-06 16:40:37 UTC

I picked Buddy Bolly because he has a good influence in rock and roll well Jerry Lee Lewis is more hip hop. And even though B uddy Holly has passed his music is still clear to the listeners. In his songs the instruments flow.

2025-10-06 16:40:51 UTC

I picked Jerry Lee lewis because I like his voice better then buddy Holly and the way he plays great balls of fire.

Lewis

2025-10-06 16:40:59 UTC

While listening to the given songs of Holly and Lewis I chose Jerry Lee Lewis as Buddy Holly songs seemed more calm and quiet. One thing I liked about his songs would be how they are more up beat and fun. I can catch the rhythm in his songs as they were instruments like the piano involved in the song as well which I found very interesting considering its a more up beat song.

Buddy Holly

2025-10-06 16:41:16 UTC

I preferred Buddy Holly over Jerry Lee Lewis because his music felt much more upbeat and joyful. "Maybe Baby." This song is truly exceptional.

Jerry Lee Lewis

2025-10-06 16:41:32 UTC

Jerry Lee Lewis has more rhythmic instrumentals while Buddy Holly has slower paced music. Jerry Lee Lewis instruments were nicely played and organized. Overall his music is happy and he knows how to use his voice.

2025-10-06 16:42:09 UTC

jerry lee lewis is greater than buddy holly will ever be, when i first saw this matchup, I thought this was a joke. Jerry Lee Lewis's rhythms are way better, and the messages his songs deliver are much more meaningful. not to mention i still hear his songs being played today. But I never hear Buddy Holly's music unless I'm in this class.

Jerry Lee Lewis

2025-10-06 16:43:09 UTC

I believe Jerry Lee Lewis is a better artist than Buddy Holly. His energy and piano playing make him a very exciting rock and roll artist of the 1950s. His song “Great Balls of Fire” showcases his impressive piano skills and confident voice. He brought back a sense of fun that makes rock music feel alive.

Elvis

2025-10-06 16:52:23 UTC

I chose Elvis for his music and his impact. Elvis' music is extremely well known, and his impact left different countries trying to replicate and make their own Elvis.

2025-10-06 16:52:34 UTC

i love elvis's songs because they put a dancing mood on instead of pat boone's songs sounding sleepy.

Elvis Presley

2025-10-06 16:53:08 UTC

Elvis Presley was in fact, the most influential, making it to even our generation. Elvis became the greatest hit on all charts. His use of drums and guitar is heard in his songs, connecting back to rock and roll. Adding on, Elvis had a certain way of dancing making crowds go crazy for him!

hi

2025-10-06 16:53:24 UTC

I chose Elvis because his voice is more recognizable and Elvis is more iconic. I likes his songs better than Pat Boones.

2025-10-06 16:53:27 UTC

Elvis was undeniably far more impactful in the music world than Pat Boone. Elvis had a better singing voice and did better music in general.

Elvis

2025-10-06 16:53:41 UTC

I chose Elvis because he was more popular and is a legend nowadays so i had to choose him and his song Blue Suede Shoes is immensely popular

Elvis

2025-10-06 16:53:53 UTC

I chose Elvis because I liked the way Elvis had his music and how he would do a variety of different types of music in his songs. My favorite song from him was Are You Lonesome Tonight.

2025-10-06 16:53:57 UTC

Pat Boone basically “filtered” covers of R&B songs by Black artists like ‘Little Richard’ and ‘Fats Domino’ as a way to push rock and roll’s rising popularity to a wider, white, mainstream audience. This really helped bridge a cultural gap between people who saw music written by black artists as taboo and rock and roll music.

Elvis Presley

2025-10-06 16:53:59 UTC

Elvis Presley can do both. He can do up beat music and sound so good and deliver the song so well, yet also deliver a slower song so well. Pat Boone is an artist that really only does slow music compared to Elvis where he can do both and do it so well.

2025-10-06 16:54:15 UTC

I think everyone should choose Elvis because he was obviously popular for a reason. He broke many standards and is still popular to this day. You could tell how his music affected rock and roll, while Pat Boone's songs are slower, Elvis had a strong, powerful voice in his songs and usually made faster music, but was versatile and could still make slower music.

Elvis

2025-10-06 16:54:21 UTC

I think Elvis is way better than Pat Boone because not only was Elvis so much better he was able to start the change of sound in music but he also knows how to do an upbeat song very well and cause also do a slow love song very well while Pat Boone started off by taking and covering other music to get famous and all sort of sounds similar while Elvis has such a wide variety in his music sound and topics in his songs.

2025-10-06 16:54:28 UTC

I chose Elvis because his songs, such as "Hound Dog" and "Blue Suede Shoes," have a fast tempo and an upbeat tone, and you can really hear the guitar in them.

2025-10-06 16:54:31 UTC

I think the class should vote for Elvis because he is very powerful with his words and in to the songs he made and thats why he obviously got popular. And in some songs he also does bring out emotion in his song and it reachs also different audiences to and he still is popular to basically this day because of his songs. You can tell how his songs put a move on rock and roll. But he does also have slower music so it also gives the listner different types of music to listen to and thats what also makes him so bug

2025-10-06 16:54:40 UTC

I liked the elvises voice better the pat boone and his music for his time period was good and ahead of his time

2025-10-06 16:54:40 UTC

I chose Elvis because I feel he had a bigger impact on music today than Pat Boone, and he also sounds a lot better than Pat. Especially with his vocals, and the instrumentation is also much better.

2025-10-06 16:54:47 UTC

Elvis music was a better example of the Rock and Roll sound in the 1950's then Pat Boone was. An example of this is "Chain of Love" by Pat Boone is more of a slow song with not too many instruments being infused in the song. Unlike Elvis music "Blue Suede shoes" your focus is more focused on instruments than the actual lyrics. Elvis even to this day still is the person people mainly think of when you think about Rock and Roll.

2025-10-06 16:55:01 UTC

I picked Elvis because even today, you can see his influence on music and Rock n' Roll today considering that he is extremely famous. His song also just brings more examples of how Rock n' Roll is today.

Elvis

2025-10-06 16:55:05 UTC

I would choose Elvis comparing the songs as Pat Boone could be seen with more calmer music as Elvis had songs like ¨Houndog¨ which I found to resornate more with rock and roll. Elvis had more songs with a beat and main point like even clapping in one of the songs.

Elvis

2025-10-06 16:55:44 UTC

I picked Elvis Presley over Pat Boone for his musical styles, his ability to transition from rockabilly to slower love songs. For instance, "Blue Suede Shoes" exemplifies his rockabilly style, while "Are You Lonesome Tonight" showcases his slow ballad approach.

2025-10-06 16:55:55 UTC

This matchup is kinda unfair, no disrespect to Boone, his music was great and all, but Elvis is the goat, he was able to reach a bigger audience, and that wasn't for no reason, it's because his music was simply the best. he influenced rock and roll so much.

2025-10-06 16:56:45 UTC

I think Elvis Presley is a better pick than Pat Boone. Some of Elvis's songs are slow and calming.

Elvis over Pat Boone

9010188_ — 2025-10-06 16:58:47 UTC

I picked Elvis because he became the face of Rock' n Roll for good reason. His song “Hound Dog” mixes rhythm and blues with country in a new way that everyone loved at the time. Elvis had the voice and the stage presence that made him iconic and influential.

Ritchie Valens

2025-10-06 17:06:35 UTC

Same as Elvis Presley, Ritchie Valens can play both sides of rock and roll making it controversy in his songs of an upbeat to a calm rhythm of the blues.

2025-10-06 17:06:38 UTC

Chuck Berrys songs flow so perfectly and Richie Valens i cant even tell what hes aying half of the time

2025-10-06 17:06:43 UTC

Ritchie Valens introduced a new sound to the rock and roll genre by blending traditional Mexican music with rock and R&B, creating a sound that paved the way for Chicano rock. He was also the first Latino rock artist to gain mainstream success in the US with his Spanish song “La Bamba”, and the rock ballad “Donna”.

2025-10-06 17:07:01 UTC

I picked Chuck Berry because he has a more powerful sound compared to Ritchie Valens, and you can see influence from his songs in today's music.

2025-10-06 17:07:01 UTC

Ritchie Valens is a better artists than Bill Haley because Ritchie's song, We belong Together is very slow and the way he talks about a lady makes you feel how he feels for her and can make someone look that way at someone to.

2025-10-06 17:07:02 UTC

I chose Richie valens because his songs are slower and sound better to me than chuck berry.

Ritchie Valens

2025-10-06 17:07:05 UTC

I chose Ritchie Valens for his song La Bamba. La Bamba is used in many movies, such as La Bamba, which is a movie about Ritchie Valens, because he was so influential, and to honor him.

Chuck Berry

2025-10-06 17:07:08 UTC

I chose Chuck Berry because I like the way he makes his music and has it similar to rock music.

Ritchie Valens

2025-10-06 17:07:09 UTC

I prefer Ritchie Valens over Chuck Berry because he was a Mexican-American singer, songwriter, and guitarist who became a pioneer of rock and roll and a key figure in the Chicano rock movement. It had a significant impact on rock and roll.

2025-10-06 17:07:09 UTC

I think everyone should choose Ritchie Valens because he had a strong voice, and he was very upbeat and fast. While Chuck Berry was popular and for good reason, Ritchie Valens should win.

Ritchie Valens

2025-10-06 17:07:13 UTC

I think Ritchie Valens is better because not only are "Donna" and "We belong together" both beautiful love songs and he wrote them very well, he also can make very good sounding up beat music

2025-10-06 17:07:24 UTC

I picked Richie Valens because his music is more rock and roll ish and his instruments and his words flow more together then Chuck berry.

2025-10-06 17:07:30 UTC

I liked Chuck berry's guitar skills and influenced rock n roll in many ways because of it .

2025-10-06 17:07:38 UTC

Ritchie had more catchy and memorable songs on his record, he also covered different genres and sounds, oh donna sounds very different from la bamba, he is the better artist.

2025-10-06 17:07:45 UTC

Richie Valance did a better job representing Rock and Roll music than Chuck berry did. Because Richie Valance music was repetitive and catchy. For example "La Bamba" It was VERY repetitive, and continued to repeat the same two lyrics. on the other hand Chuck Berry did do a good job using his instruments to his benefit but he was telling more of a story that getting a catchy vibe.

Chuck Berry

2025-10-06 17:07:45 UTC

Chuck Berry has upbeat music using his electric guitar and the drums helping him deliver this sound. His songs make you want to rock your head around and dance to his music. His music was also very influential.

2025-10-06 17:07:46 UTC

Chuck Berry helped create the sound of rock and roll with his fun songs and cool guitar playing. He sang about things young people cared about, like cars and school. Many famous bands copied his style because they loved his music.

Chuck Berry

2025-10-06 17:07:47 UTC

Although both of the artist had some similar beats and songs I would say Chuck Berry had more image of rock and roll as you could hear more guitar noises and instruments.

2025-10-06 17:07:58 UTC

I chose Ritchie Valens because each of his songs gives off a different vibe; meanwhile, with Chuck Berry, it all sounds the same. Ritchie also sounds better in his songs and has better lyrics.

Chuck Berry

9010188_ — 2025-10-06 17:08:29 UTC

I chose Chuck Berry because he shaped what rock and roll guitar playing sounds like. His songs have fast, catchy guitar riffs that literally inspired generations of musicians. His songs related to teenagers, which helped make him popular.

2025-10-06 17:08:46 UTC

Ritchie Valens has only a couple of good songs, while Chuck Berry just doesn't miss. His flow is way better and his flow is perfect

Bill Haley

2025-10-07 16:34:28 UTC

I picked Bill Haley because of his music style. In Shake Rattle and Roll, I liked that he used deeper instruments.

2025-10-07 16:34:32 UTC

I picked Little Richard because he mixed gospel music with rhythm and blues and boogie-woogie piano, creating a lively, electric sound. His unique way of performing was just like other performances; it had an upbeat to it and a lively beat.

2025-10-07 16:34:35 UTC

in little richards songs he sounds like hes proud to sing and gives off a great energy

Little Richard

2025-10-07 16:34:37 UTC

I prefer Little Richard because of his energetic performances and flamboyant costumes, which are interesting to look at. His banger "Tutti Frutti" is such an amazing song; I really like the way he sings with such hyped-up energy.

2025-10-07 16:35:10 UTC

Little Richard has more energy, and his style of singing is more unique and enthusiastic.

2025-10-07 16:35:29 UTC

I think everyone should choose Little Richard because I think you could really tell that he influenced rock and roll. Some of his music reminds of The Beatles early music.

2025-10-07 16:35:31 UTC

I chose Little Richard because he had more hits than Bill Haley and Bill Haley sounds basic and forgetable.

2025-10-07 16:35:35 UTC

I think Bill Haley is better because bii is just a better and clean artist.

Little Richard

2025-10-07 16:35:49 UTC

Little Richard Uses energetic rock and roll and his style of performing these songs are unique to the controverse of how Bill Haley plays.

Bill Haley

9012569 — 2025-10-07 16:36:08 UTC

I think Bill Hayley's music is better because I like his sound and lyrics more.

2025-10-07 16:36:11 UTC

Little Richard better displays Rock and Roll in the 1950 then Bill Haley did. I say this because he used his instruments better in my opinion then Bill Haley

Little Richard

2025-10-07 16:36:12 UTC

I chose Little Richard because I like the way his voice is when he is singing because it sounds like he is enjoying it. My favorite song is Tutti Frutti.

2025-10-07 16:36:17 UTC

I picked little Richard because of the energy that Richard puts in his music compared to Bill Haley and the way Richard set a groove.

Little Richard

2025-10-07 16:36:29 UTC

I would chose little Richard as he has more out going songs for example there is more beats and yells in his songs which can be compared more to current rock and roll songs. Little Richards songs are more different to usual songs like Bill Haley.

2025-10-07 16:36:32 UTC

I picked Little Richard because of his flow, faster pace, and powerful voice. It just makes the music way better and more interesting to listen to, as with Bill Haley, it is slower, and the music isn't as interesting.

Little Richard

2025-10-07 16:36:33 UTC

I think Little Richard is the best choice compared to Bill Haley, because while their music style was slightly similar however Little Richards raspy deeper voice sounds way better and fitting for the genre while Bill Haley sounds almost too smooth as well as he sticks to around the same kind of upbeat which is better sounding for the genre.

2025-10-07 16:36:35 UTC

I chose Bill Haley because I think his music sounds better than Little Richard, and the different instrumentation is beautiful.

2025-10-07 16:36:37 UTC

I think people should pick Little Richard because of his distinctive style of music and his energetic performances, which engage the listeners/crowd.

2025-10-07 16:36:48 UTC

I chose Little Richard because I like the way he's loud. The piano riffs in his songs are actually crazy. And I could definitely see myself dancing to his songs

Little Richard

2025-10-07 16:37:31 UTC

Little Richard is more up beat a lot more passion in his voice. He over all uses all types of instruments where we are getting energy from the instrumental and in Little Richards voice. Compared to Bill Haley where we get a little bit of energy from his instrumental and we don't really get any energy from his voice. Over all Little Richard is a passionate well rounded artist.

2025-10-07 16:37:56 UTC

Little Richard blends gospel and blues, which creates a base for rock and roll to build off of. He has a unique, high energy sound with a powerful stage presence and confident personality. The loud beat and steady rhythm in his music was an important element when it comes to how rock and roll was slowly built.

Bill Haley

9010188_ — 2025-10-07 16:38:02 UTC

I pick Bill Haley because his music is easy to dance and vibe to. I like his song “Rock Around the Clock,” it makes you want to move and just have a good time. He was one of the first people to make rock and roll popular, so he practically started it all.

2025-10-07 16:47:19 UTC

I picked Ike and Tina Turner because I think they did a better job displaying Rock and Roll than Neil Sedaka. I feel that Neil Sedaka was more of a pop and calm tone to his music, rather that Ike and Tina Turner had more of an upbeat high energy music. It also sounds like they used electric instruments when preforming.

Neil Sedaka

2025-10-07 16:47:25 UTC

I chose Neil Sadaka because of his voice and his light feeling when he sings.

2025-10-07 16:48:17 UTC

I think everyone should choose Ike and Tina Turner because Neil Sedaka has a calmer voice, but Ike and Tina Turner really have strong vocals and great instrumentals, which really give me a rock and roll vibe.

Ike and Tina Turner

2025-10-07 16:48:20 UTC

They contain a jolly beat that is essential to rock and roll while Neil Sedaka is more of a soft jazz not connecting back to rock and roll of drums or even guitar.

Neil Sedaka

2025-10-07 16:48:22 UTC

I say Neil Sedaka is better because his voice is very smooth for the type of songs he sings so it sounds way better as well as he has very beautiful love songs

Ike and Tina Turner

9010188_ — 2025-10-07 16:48:26 UTC

I really like Ike and Tina Turner's music style. Her singing is really powerful, and the instrumentals in the background match perfectly with it. Overall, their songs have so much energy and make you want to move along with them.

2025-10-07 16:48:27 UTC

i chose neil because his music is hella fire and he knows how to sing unlike tina turner shes trash.

2025-10-07 16:48:32 UTC

Ike and Tina Turner is better because their songs where more outgoing and wher4e more of a rock vibe

2025-10-07 16:48:37 UTC

Ike and Tina Turner are a good example of where rock and roll roots stem from because of the way they infuse raw vocals, R&B, soul, and blues into their music. The sound they create is full of grit but Tina’s voice also connected emotionally with her audiences by being vulnerable within her music without too much filter.

2025-10-07 16:48:46 UTC

I chose Ike and Tina Turner because their music sounds much better, especially with their very fierce and loud vocals, which showcase rock and roll more effectively than Neil Sedaka.

Tina Turner

9012569 — 2025-10-07 16:48:50 UTC

I hate Ike, but I do love Tina Turner. I feel that she is more creative with her sound and lyrics. I have heard Tina Turner all my life, and I still think she's amazing to this day.

2025-10-07 16:49:08 UTC

I picked Ike and Tina Turner because you can really tell the influence of her voice and way of singing had on Rock' n' Roll, and how it helped create that sound that we here today.

Ike and Tina

2025-10-07 16:49:50 UTC

I would choose Ike and Tina as they could be shown having more vocal power as well as more of a rock and roll feeling than Neil Sedaka. As they have more unique vocals it shows a more raw rock and roll feel.

2025-10-07 16:50:04 UTC

I picke Ike snd Tina Turner because the music and how the voice of her was really calm when singing

Ike & Tina Turner

2025-10-07 16:50:08 UTC

They are more well rounded and demonstrated Rock n'Roll better. They had the energy, the voice and the instruments. Neil Sedaka was more soft. They sounded great.

2025-10-07 16:50:23 UTC

I picked Neil sedaka because he has a good voice It's more calmer and relaxing and is more danceable for people

Buddy Holly

2025-10-07 16:50:27 UTC

I picked Buddy Holly over Jerry Lee Lewis because he appeals to me more. His style of music where rockabilly, country and western, and rhythm and blues are blended/fused together is some of the early development of rock and roll. Holly was a great inspiration to other artists, he also was one of the first to play his own instrument, write his own material and develop as an arranger which really set the bar for other artists.

2025-10-07 16:51:10 UTC

I think Neil is better because his music is more relaxing and smooth; the instruments complement each other so well. hes easily the better artist.

Neil Sedaka

2025-10-07 16:51:21 UTC

I chose Neil Sedaka because I like that some of his songs are love songs and inspirational songs, which are types of music I like.

2025-10-07 16:51:43 UTC

I picked ike and Tina Turner because of their dynamic performances and unforgettable music created a powerful fusion of rock and soul that still resonates. Let's you feel the rhythm and embrace the passion.

2025-10-07 16:52:17 UTC

ike and Tina Turner were more energetic on stage and had more unique and complex instrumentation, which paid off for them

Elvis

2025-10-07 16:54:39 UTC

I pick Elvis because even to this day if you simply say his name almost everyone will know exactly who you're talking about. He's a legend/left with a huge legacy. His influence on many artists was astronomical, he earned the title of being the King of Rock and Roll because of his huge cultural and commercial impact. Not only did he make rock and roll mainstream through his performances but he also paved the road for future generations of musicians.

Chuck Berry

2025-10-07 16:59:23 UTC

I picked Chuck Berry over Ritchie Valens because of how he blended blues and country with a unique performance. His songs were very influential as they became rock anthems and inspired artists which showed he's an important figure. Berry emphasized the use for the guitar in rock music and created catchy riffs as well as powerful solos, this became the groundwork for rock guitarists.

The Ronettes

2025-10-07 17:00:49 UTC

I think The Ronettes are a better choice because their voices all collide beautifully and it is a new unique sounding voice as well and they have more hits such as "Be my baby", as well as their love songs just sound better and have better melodies and are more catchy and their harmony's and backing vocals are very nicely done and sound perfect.

The Ronnetes

2025-10-07 17:00:50 UTC

The Ronnetes are on top. They create great, well-known songs. Their song Be My Baby is in the sandlot and other songs in movies like Jumanji. They also cover Christmas songs like "Sleigh Ride" and "Frosty the Snowman".

Ronettes

2025-10-07 17:00:53 UTC

I chose The Ronettes over The Shirelles; their energetic performances radiate pure joy, blending pop and rock with a touch of soul. "Be My Baby" will always be an incredible song. Although they share similar tastes in musical styles, there are differences between them.

2025-10-07 17:01:31 UTC

I think the ronettes are better. The song Be my Baby is just amazing but that's it.

2025-10-07 17:01:50 UTC

the ronettes music is so calm and goated because its on tiktok and the shirelles arent on tiktok

2025-10-07 17:01:51 UTC

I picked the Ronettes because I feel like they harmonized better then the Shirelles, I feel like the shirelles their was one singular voice that took over everyone's. I also think the Ronettes had better instruments then the Shirelles

2025-10-07 17:02:01 UTC

I chose the Ronettes because, although they sound similar, the Ronettes have better vocals and a more polished overall sound.

The Ronettes

I believe the Ronettes are better because their songs are catchy, and I grew up with their music as well. Another reason is that I love the movie Dirty Dancing, which features their music.

The Ronettes

2025-10-07 17:02:09 UTC

I would choose the Ronettes as they could be seen to be more trendy even now. I like the background instruments and the sound of their voices. Although I would say The Shirelles have very awesome vocals which are interesting I think the Ronettes have more hit songs like ¨Be my Baby¨.

2025-10-07 17:02:10 UTC

I picked the Ronettes because of their voices I like how they harmonize compared to the shirelles.

2025-10-07 17:02:12 UTC

I chose The Ronettes over The Shirelles because while The Shirelles were good, I think The Ronettes were way more influential then The Shirelles, and also I just like the way The Ronettes sound more.

The Ronettes

2025-10-07 17:02:42 UTC

I chose The Ronettes because I like the way they have their voices when they are singing, which lets me stay calm.

2025-10-07 17:02:55 UTC

I prefer the Ronettes because they are way more energetic and they have a lot of joy when singing so it also bounces onto the crowd to because of their joy. They also have a lot of emotions with their singing and their voices are really calming and emotional but still makes their songs fun.

2025-10-07 17:03:18 UTC

I picked the Ronettes because their performance and sound are just so good. Even tho both are very similar, there are differences between the Ronettes have more of the Wall of Sound going on, while the Shirelles are more just vocals, and their singing is louder.

Little Richard

2025-10-07 17:03:19 UTC

I pick Little Richard because of his persona, I like how you can differentiate who he is by his flamboyant personality. This separates his apart from the other artists who kept their style more chill and family friendly. He's known for his electrifying piano playing and vocals which influence generations of artists. I honestly just like how energetic and different he seems from the rest.

2025-10-07 17:03:29 UTC

The Ronettes have a better mix of voices; their sort of vocal orchestra is great.

The Ronettes

2025-10-07 17:03:33 UTC

You could hear how influential they were. They had the energy, voice, and the instrumental. They sing very nicely and calm.

The Ronettes!!!

9010188_ — 2025-10-07 17:03:38 UTC

I chose The Ronettes because their songs are fun and very catchy, especially their song "Be My Baby," which is such a classic. All of their voices sound really well together, and the songs just stick in your head. They made really good music that still works for today.

2025-10-07 17:03:51 UTC

This was so close because both groups are so good, but the Ronettes win just because of "Be My Baby." It's such a great song.

The Ronettes

2025-10-07 17:07:25 UTC

They hit more popularity in our generation including their song "Be My Baby" with a gesture of love song and a unique bass behind their singing. The Ronettes had a more unique way of expressing rock and roll in their music.

2025-10-07 17:09:19 UTC

The Shirelles was one of the first major girl groups of the rising rock and roll era, who later inspired more female groups to emerge. The sound the Shirelles create is a combination of R&B with friendly pop, making their music accessible to both Black and white audiences which pushed them to be broadcasted nationally.

The Everly Brothers

2025-10-07 23:47:36 UTC

The Everly Brothers win because their close sync blood related is a unique, genetically-perfect sound that influenced The Beatles. The Drifters, on the other hand, were a revolving collective whose best hits relied more on production than on a single, iconic vocal bond.

Sam Cooke

2025-10-08 00:04:50 UTC

The Everly Brothers win because their close blood harmony is a unique, genetically perfect sound that influenced The Beatles. The Drifters, on the other hand, were a revolving collective whose best hits relied more on production than on a single, iconic vocal bond.

Ike & Tina Turner

2025-10-08 01:21:55 UTC

I pick Ike and Tina Turner because of their dynamic, they seem very high-energy in their performances. They blend elements of soul, rock, and funk which you can hear creating a unique sound.

The Ronettes

2025-10-08 01:27:10 UTC

I pick The Ronettes because of their pioneering influence on music. Their classic song "Be My Baby" is considered one of the greatest pop singles of all time. They used a Wall of Sound technique, their music and style impacted generations of musicians. I really like how they were seen as these "bad girls" who pushed back on gendered expectations and rebelled.

The Drifters

2025-10-08 17:24:26 UTC

I picked The Drifters because of there song under the board walk. I picked this song because its unique sounds and their calm voices.

The Drifters

2025-10-08 17:24:32 UTC

I would have to say the drifters simply just because their voices match up more and sound way better as well as the sound of their music is just better and cleaner than The Everly Brothers.

2025-10-08 17:24:33 UTC

The Everly Brothers played a significant role in shaping rock and roll with their distinctive close-harmony vocals. They blended elements of country, rock, and pop to create a fresh and unique sound. Their music stood out and captured the attention of many listeners, inspiring countless other artists in the rock music genre.

The Drifters

9012569 — 2025-10-08 17:24:37 UTC

I think The Drifters are better because their songs each have their own unique sound, unlike the Everly Brothers, whose songs sound mostly the same.

2025-10-08 17:24:49 UTC

I chose the Drifters because in my opinion they did a better job displaying Rock and Roll in the 1960's. The Evelyn Brothers had more of a calm slow rhythm to them, for example "Let it be Me" It was really slow and you really didn't notice too much of the instruments being used. On the other hand the Drifters was more repetitive in their lyrics, and you were also able to notice the instruments being used in the background. An example of this is "There goes My Baby" It shows how they kept repeating the same fraze "there goes my baby" over and over again.

2025-10-08 17:25:04 UTC

The Drifters combined gospel style music, smooth R&B, and soul which was a core root in early rock and roll that helped push it forward in popularity as it was exposed to wider varieties of audiences.

The Everly Brothers

2025-10-08 17:25:13 UTC

I chose The Everly Brothers because I like that they made heartbreak songs and love songs, which is why I chose them. My favorite one is Dream.

The Drifters

2025-10-08 17:25:22 UTC

I would choose The Drifters as you can hear the amazing vocals. Although it is also calm, it's interesting to listen to their voices. I like how the background noise and beat in ¨Under the Broadwalk¨ is very different from other songs which can be seen as a unique point.

2025-10-08 17:25:34 UTC

I think The Everly Brothers should win because the influence in rock and roll was very apparent, and their music reminds me of early rock and roll artists.

2025-10-08 17:25:35 UTC

i like the drifters because there music feels calm and soothing and the everly brothers sound bunk

2025-10-08 17:25:59 UTC

I picked the Dirfters because their songs are more catchy. And you can see the influence they had on Rock n' Roll with some of the guitar and piano riffs they use.

The Drifters

2025-10-08 17:26:08 UTC

I would choose the drifters because I like how their music feels calm and soothing.

2025-10-08 17:26:09 UTC

The Everly brothers are better cause they have better music

2025-10-08 17:26:16 UTC

I chose the Drifters because I feel all their voices harmonizing all at once sounds so much better than the Everly Brothers, and it seems like something I would actually listen to.

2025-10-08 17:26:22 UTC

The Drifters have a better singing style, and their chorus was much more memorable.

2025-10-08 17:26:30 UTC

I picked the Everly brothers because they have god hamoney with eachother but they also do a very good job at blending rock, country and pop with each other so it makes listeners more intrested and they also have a good influence.

2025-10-08 17:26:33 UTC

I like the Everly brothers when they sang the song all I have to do is dream they had a good voice and harmony in that song.

The drifters

2025-10-08 17:26:43 UTC

I chose The Drifters because their music is smooth and calming, and you can hear their voice and instruments loud and clear.

The Drifters

2025-10-08 17:26:45 UTC

I pick the Drifters because of their blending gospel and R&B style, especially the song "Under the Boardwalk" is more of the type of music I would actually listen to.

Drifters

2025-10-08 17:26:53 UTC

I believe that choosing the Drifters is a much better option because of their outstanding performances, due to their innovative and influential R&B and rock and roll sound, and a history of incredible vocalists like Ben E. King and Clyde McPhatter

Elvis

2025-10-08 17:27:46 UTC

I personally think Elvis is the best artist. He's a very known artist. Although he only had about 2 years of experience. His background music and energy and his lyrics all click and go together very well. He helped influence others with Rock n Roll.

2025-10-08 17:29:02 UTC

The Everly Brothers are inferior to the Drifters. The drifters are better off having a larger fanbase, the instruments are played better, the lyrics and rhythm are better. In conclusion, the drifters are the best.

The Everly Brothers

9010188_ — 2025-10-08 17:29:02 UTC

I chose the Everly Brothers because I like how well their voices match; they sound really good together. I like their love songs, like "All I Have to Do Is Dream." Their music has a calm and sweet vibe that makes it enjoyable.

The Drifters

2025-10-08 17:29:04 UTC

They do such a good job mixing those key elements of gospel, smooth R&B, and soul. Those key elements would later become elements of early Rock n'Roll. Since the drifters would mix elements of different music sounds they would reach even more people. They simply knew how to use their voice and their instruments.

Sam Cooke

2025-10-08 17:37:09 UTC

I prefer Sam Cooke's soulful voice and heartfelt songwriting, which bring deeper emotion and timeless authenticity, compared to the Coasters' fun, upbeat novelty style. Sam Cooke’s “A Change Is Gonna Come” showcases his powerful ability to blend heartfelt emotion and social meaning, making his music more impactful and timeless than the Coasters’ lighter, comedic songs.

Sam Cooke

2025-10-08 17:37:10 UTC

Sam Cooke is better because his voice is very beautiful and smooth and really fits the songs he sings perfectly.

2025-10-08 17:37:18 UTC

i like the coasters because their music sounds a little weird but a good weird as in different

2025-10-08 17:37:25 UTC

Sam Cooke's music had a better sound to it

2025-10-08 17:37:28 UTC

Sam Cooke’s sound involves gospel and soulful music, along with his raw yet smooth vocals. His music appealed to both black and white audiences, allowing him to thrive within the pop market. With his success then came a platform which he was then able to use his success to sing about the segregation/discrimination struggles black artists faced at the time, hence “A change is gonna come”.

Sam Cooke

2025-10-08 17:37:29 UTC

I believe that Sam Cooke is better than The Coasters because sam cooke is a smooth songs and The coasters is not pleasant to listen to in my opinion.

2025-10-08 17:37:45 UTC

The Coasters are better in my opinion because I like their voices and how they work together. I also really like the vibe of music that they are singing.

2025-10-08 17:37:54 UTC

Sam had a wonderful voice and sound. unique and well put together, he is thebetter artist in my opinion.

The Coasters

2025-10-08 17:38:00 UTC

I pick the Coasters because of their combination of humorous narrative songs, as seen in their song "Little Egypt." I think their music is really unique, you can differentiate who they are from the rest of the artists.

The Coasters

2025-10-08 17:38:01 UTC

I chose The Coasters as they can be heard having more of a unique beat and vocals. I like how there is different vocals in the background. Compared to Sam Cooke it is more unique and not as calm as well.

2025-10-08 17:38:02 UTC

I chose the coaster because they used the wall of sound better than Sam Cooks did. Sam Cooke "A Change is Gonna Come" This song even doing a good job telling a story but wasn't really showing how "Rock and Roll" was in the 1960's. On the other hand The Coasters used the wall of sound well in the song "Smokey Joe's Cafe" Even though they were telling a story in the song you can still hear how the instruments were one of the main parts of the song.

The Coasters

2025-10-08 17:38:04 UTC

I picked the coasters because of their song smokey joes cafe. I picked this song because of the voices

Sam cooke

2025-10-08 17:38:17 UTC

I choose Sam cookis voice is very beautiful. His songs are super soothing, and in my opinion I don't think the coasters are aa good band to listen too.

The Coasters

2025-10-08 17:38:23 UTC

I chose The Coasters because I like how they use their mouths sometimes when they are singing their songs, and I like the beats they make. My favorite song is Smokey Joe's Cafe.

2025-10-08 17:38:33 UTC

The Coasters because of their voiced and their harmony together and they use their instuments in their song good to match up how they are singing.

Sam Cooke

9012569 — 2025-10-08 17:38:36 UTC

I think Sam Cooke is better because The Coasters are too repetitive, also because Sam Cooke has a better voice.

2025-10-08 17:38:39 UTC

I chose Sam Cooke because I feel his voice itself is way better than the Coasters in so many different ways. It sounds more listenable and it's beautiful.

Sam Cooke

9010188_ — 2025-10-08 17:39:23 UTC

I believe Sam Cooke is the better choice because his voice sounds amazing and is also really smooth. His songs are filled with so much emotion, which makes them more appealing. He sang about love and real-life things that make his songs feel more meaningful.

2025-10-08 17:39:25 UTC

No diss to Sam Cooke, he's still a good artist, it's just that the coasters are more iconic and have bigger hits than Sam, but other than that, I think they're pretty close.

Sam cookie

2025-10-08 17:39:30 UTC

i like that it has a smooth sound and his voice sounds really good, rather than the coasters they add a unique touch to their music

2025-10-08 17:39:31 UTC

I picked the Coasters because they have a more fun and powerful sound. And they also have that wall of sound that shows influence on Rock' n' Roll. Their voices are also very powerful and catchy, making their music fun to listen to.

Sam Cooke

2025-10-08 17:39:52 UTC

Sam Cooke because he had this voice that was so smooth and excellent that complemented their instrumental so well.
