Brothers, Sisters 11 ......

 





We have now passed the half way mark of this series and today's offering sees one of the more one sided comparisons. Such is the joy of the random listings.

Don and Phil, the Everly Brothers surely need no introduction. When  they were talking to each other and not falling out the produced some outstanding music. Indeed even when they had fallen out and not talking to each other (which was more often than not) they still came up with the goods. When it came to close harmonies there were few if any better. Rock'n'roll, country, pop - they excelled at any genre they put their minds to.

The act who have the unevenious task of going up against them this week are the American pop rock band Scissor Sisters. They enjoyed a brief period of fame courtesy of their eponymous 2004 debut album but slipped quickly into relative obscurity thereafter.

I'm sure you will all agree that there is absolutely no contest this week. It is a bit like putting a mouse up against an elephant in a weightlifting contest.

Hopefully a closer contest next week.

  4. So one sided that even the Marx Brothers would win this contest! (I'm not familiar with the Scissor Sister's ahem......oeuvre)
