In the next round we'll have a battle between Dire Straits and Pink Floyd.

Let me do this list of three the most pointless things on Earth:
1. Men's nipples
2. Fender's Strat Madness
3. The Straits

Hmmmm. Probably but not in that order. And I do think that men's nipples are quite pointy, at times.  ;D
Come on, it is not funny anymore.

getting back on topic. . . vote cast.  There are a lot of DS fans that also like Floyd. . they have a hard choice to make, but I'm sure they will make the right one  :think

I am in this case, but I didn't hesitate and chose Sultans.

simply because the choice is not what song/artist you like the most, but what song do you think is the most iconic strat sound

and IMHO, Comfortably numb (although great song, gerat solo, great tone) is NOT a typical strat-ish sound, neither is Layla (although Iove this song)

to me, it was more difficult to choose between :
Apache
nowhere man
Sultans

because these are the 3 most typical stat-ish sounds iMHO, I mean among the songs listed

after thse 3, I would add the two Jimi's ones : little wing and wind cries mary

and maybe the 2 from SRV (pride and joy, and let's dance) and Cocaine


wicked games is another one, but I think it could sound almost the same on a gretsch


but songs like smoke on the water, bad love, layla, owner of a lonely heart, etc... although played on atsrat, are not the best examples of a typical strat-ish sound IMHO

for clatpon , old love, wolderful tonight, layd down sally, etc...are far more strat-ish than Bad love imho

I don't understand these choices

Didn't get a fender invitation for round two. What is the use in registering if they don't send out invitations? Or are they afraid of us?  ;D
