Makes total sense.  You're trying to figure out which gets you farther; saying "Chocolatey Choco, the Chocolate Chicken" (Busta Rhymes) or "Chickety China, the Chinese Chicken" (Barenaked Ladies)

My money's on Busta-Bus.

I doubt even a single member of the Barenaked Ladies has ever kicked Michael Myers out a window. Busta Rhymes in a blowout.
This may be the year I will disappear.

BUT, I bet Bare Naked Ladies can continue to play the college circuit for years to come, making truck-loads of dough doing that same "If I Had a Million Dollars" song over and over again, while Busta... where's he gonna be?  What's he gonna be doing?  I'm not suggesting I know the answer, but in terms of an ongoing "career," college/jam bands have got it made in the shade.
Now write me a receipt so I can tip on outta here...

I think Canadians would mostly give the nod to the Barenaked Ladies.

This album cover may have foreshadowed Busta's career dominance of the Ladies (I can't comment on his dominance of ladies elsewhere).  Look how scared the red-shirted dork is of the guy with dreads.

I have a confession to make:  I was the first person to play "If I Had a Million Dollars" on WMEB, the station at U. Maine, Orono.  And I thought it was cute.

I had no idea Adam Duritz, Roger Ebert and that one dude from The Last Supper were in the Barenaked Ladies!

One of my favorite Sopranos quotes, courtesy of Meadow: "Let me grab the Barenaked Ladies CD."

Yes, the quote I love so much, I paraphrased the hell out of it.
It ain't ego, it's my love for you.

I'm pretty sure that's Steve Albini in the lower left.

Is it good or bad that their doing the cruise? I remember it used to be a joke when people set up shop in Las Vegas
now its a good thing (??)

I know nothing about show business
but doesn't it seem way more fun to play out a cruise all loose goose-y
than having to be playing out bars or booze-y college shows.
