Facts

Linkin Park

• Originally called themselves "Hybrid Theory" but were forced to change the name due to trademark issues. However, Chester Bennington (Lead vocals) suggested the band to be named "Lincoln Park" as he drove past it to get home. However, the domain http://www.lincolnpark.com was taken and the band re-named themselves to "Linkin Park".
• Linkin Park's new album is set to be released in Spring 2006, due to some difficulties with the label. Mike Shinoda is also working on his hip-hop side project entitled "The Rising Tied" which will feature a variety of underground rap artists. It's set to be released November 22, 2005. Chester Bennington is also in the process of recording his album; the release date is yet to be announced.
• Their singles include "Faint", "Numb" and "Breaking The Habit".

Spice Girls

• Spice Girls were the first major British pop music phenomenon of the mid-'90s to not have a debt to independent pop/rock. The Spice Girls enjoyed substantial commercial success from 1996 to 2000, and it is claimed that they are the biggest-selling girl group of all time, with reported sales of over forty-five million albums and thirty million singles.
• Members of the group have stated that they do not see any future for the Spice Girls, but the group has never formally split up. Each member has released solo albums (with varying degrees of commercial success, but not nearly in the same class as their group efforts). Each of the girls' solo popularity has waned over the past four years.
• Their singles include "Wannabe", "Spice Up Your Life", and "2 Become 1".

Linkin Park!



Feedback: Echo & The Bunnymen! Echo & The Bunnymen!

I think I'll go with the Spice Girls. I didn't start liking Linkin Park until their single "Numb" was released. Spice Girls was a childhood band for me and for that, I think I'll vote for them.

Also, for feedback, I would like to see two non-mainstream bands to go against one another!

And I would like to suggest Rihanna and Waking Ashland (Non-mainstream band) to be a competitor!

WOO GO SPICE GIRLS

Linkin Park for me. There's only so much bad dress sense I can take and the Spice Girls just tip me over the edge.

Spice Girls make me think of high school, even though I never listened to them. I don't like thinking about high school. Linkin Park it is.

Spice Girls all the wa! Some of my fondest memories..

I'm uck with most Spice Girls songs now, I really loved 'em when I was younger- so I'll go with them!

Haha. XD I used to like the Spice Girls when I was younger.

*punches the first person to give him a strange look*

Linkin Park has a couple of songs I like (In The End, Crawling, Somewhere I Belong and maybe Faint), but not enough to really say I like them all that much. They used to be good, but after that album (I believe those songs were mostly on the same album), they really went downhill.

Haha, the Spice Girl were fun, and though I can't say their music consists of all that much talent, they're music was fun enough and catchy at the time to make up for it. I probably wouldn't listen to them now, but I will vote for them.

ewww, spice girls. Linkin Park owns!

SPICE GIRLS! I hate Linkin Park. All their songs sound the same. o.o

Linkin Park of course.

... I can't believe spice girls is winning.

Linkin Park. The Spice Girls were absolutely awful :S
