CUNTY VINTAGE DIVA TOURNEY - ROUND ONE

Norman Greenbaum

Masayoshi Takanaka

Voting ended onAug 15, 2025

Vote for the artist you think is the cuntiest of all (or of the two.)

Norman Greenbaum (1942-) solo; Dr. West's Medicine Show and Junk Band - vocals Songs: "Spirit in the Sky," "The Eggplant That Ate Chicago" Propaganda: "Nice Jewish boy from Massachusetts writes a banger of a soul song. That's chutzpah. To badly paraphrase Alan Cross' Ongoing History of New Music on Spirit in the Sky: he liked gospel music, thought 'how hard can it be?' and the rest is history. Spirit in the Sky song of the summer every summer since 1969. In a tournament considering an artist's whole catalogue, Norman Greenbaum might not stand a chance. BUT this is the CUNTY VINTAGE DIVA TOURNAMENT and having a massive one hit wonder is cunty diva behavior. (We don't need to talk about his song 'The Eggplant that Ate Chicago') ALSO that distinctive guitar sound in Spirit in the Sky? Produced in studio at the time and couldn't be done live, until 20 years later Eddie Van Halen fucked around and figured out how to do it. THAT'S legacy. THAT'S influence. THAT'S cunty diva energy"

Masayoshi Takanaka (1953-) Sadistic Mika Band - guitar; solo Songs: "Funkee Mah-Chan," "Mambo Magic" Propaganda: "Masayoshi Takanaka is a freaking guitar legend with a personal flair for the dramatic. Think Hawaiian shirt print tuxedos and surfboard guitars. The guy is seriously brilliant... Composing his own music, being a part of several influential rock bands, and just generally being an icon."
