Geoff's Famous Band Name Game.

I have just been reminded of this by the Joke thread. I was introduced to Geoff's Band Name Game a number of years ago. For some time I have attempted to participate by coming up with original comparisons of the names of popular bands in order to compete and secure a high ranked placing in the all time top 100. Largely without success.

The game is simple, it consists of a question in two parts. Do your worst.

"Which do you prefer ......" "..... The Coral or Reef?"

"Which do you prefer ......" "..... Placebo or the Cure?"

or... e.g. "Which do you prefer - Clash or One Direction?", "Flo Rida or Texas?" etc.

Extra points for comparisons between particularly famous bands, or comparisons with literary or musical subtlety, double meanings and deeper questions about the state of the world.

I am not Geoff, and cannot take credit for this but it is about time it was unleashed on the world.

Okay, let's see if I've got the hang:
