Rock n Roll World Cup - Group D

Interesting mix - definition of Rock N Roll being stretched a bit here 
Have to admire the Stones for their longevity and providing the two guitarist, swaggering frontman , quintet template but Morrisey's faux miserablism plus Marr's understated guitar work gets the nod from me (although I hated them when they were in their prime, such a silly boy)

There's only one R&R band in the list !

Clearly, I am going to vote for The Smiths. Should I hang around and throw a glib insult at Coldplay? No, what's the point - I'm genuinely convinced that they are pleasant people and that's got to count for something. The Rolling Stones - hung around too long, I'm afraid, eating up all of their goodwill. Bee Gees: are they rock and roll? I don't mind them. My mum was a big fan in the early 80s. Gran too.

I have gone for the Stones, however I do think the Bee Gee's are a little overlooked. They wrote some great stuff - "To Love Somebody" (allegely intended for Otis Redding) being an example.

The Bee Gees are the best band in that group by far but not what I'd call Rock n Roll.

I love NSC's diverse opinions. For me the Smiths are whingers, the Bee Gees are top quality MOR Pop music, Coldplay are pretty good but the Stones are head and shoulders above the others purely for their output until Some Girls and the fact that they made arguably the greatest ever Rock album - Exile on Main Street.
Interesting that all 4 bands have now been championed on this thread

Yeah, Coldplay have never done anything have they? I imagine they've only sold a dozen or so albums and never sell any concert tickets.
I've voted for The Smiths, I quite like Coldplay (mainly the early stuff), I'm not a fan of The Bee Gees and The Stones have never done anything for me.
