Here is a variation of a game that has been popular on the Game Board: It's a version of Which Do You Prefer? which, this time, refers to music--plus, this one has a sort of Music Association theme running through it. Say that the first word is, i.e. AC/DC, you would have to think of a music band, song, instrument, style, etc., that would be similar (or total opposite) of the first: It could be a play on words, or have something in common, like--

AC/DC or The Bee Gees?

See? Both in alphabetical order, both having names that sound like letters, both from Australia, two totally different styles, and both having brothers in each band.

Another example:

Ohio or Massachusetts?


You're not playing it right, Janice. This is a thread in which you offer a choice of similarly titled songs or similiarly named artists, or songs with a similar theme.

As for Ohio or Massachusetts, well, Massachusetts has the Boston Symphony and the Boston Pops, but Ohio gave the world the James Gang, the Michael Stanley Band, and Chrissie Hynde of the Pretenders. So it's a tough call. :)

"The Night Before" by the Beatles or "The Morning After" by Maureen McGovern? (Get it?) :lol:

Boston boasts more than John Williams, former conductor of the Boston Pops, although his achievements stand alone. Just googled his bio. Williams has won 5 Academy Awards, 2 Emmys, 17 Grammys and 3 Golden Globes for his film scores. Star Wars, ET, Jaws, Raiders of The Lost Ark...I see his name all over movie credits all the time. He still holds the title of Laureate Conductor of the Boston Pops.
