Again, we get back to "opinion". It's opinion whether or not the two
should be compared, and I say why not? For one thing, the argument
that there is no commonality between the two bands is incredibly
wrong (IM Not-So-Humble O). The two bands are both heavy rock bands.
They both contain extremely important members, past and present, of
BOC, and they share songwriters...including a few who were never
actually part of BOC.

Besides, if someone asked you whether you preferred beer or cake,
would you freak out and say, "No way can I compare these two
things...they are totally different and my assessment would be fair
to neither the beer nor the cake!"? No offense, but I think that's a
bit silly.

As I am still the only person who's publicly cast a vote, let me do
so again proudly:

Brain Surgeons rock, but BOC RULES!
