Babyshambles VS Dirty Pretty Things

~~Harry~~ · 12-25-2009, 12:23 AM

So all your libertines fans know about how Pete Doherty and Carl Barat went their separate ways to form two separate bands with... two separate styles.

Which do you prefer?

It's a tough choice, really. I enjoy Pete's softer voice and calmer, poetic songs like "Last of the English Roses" and "I Love You (But You're Green), with a few resentful ones like "**** Forever" and "Do You Know Me"... But I really love Carl's musical genious in DPT's continued garage rock revival music e.g. "B.U.R.M.A.," "Blood Thirsty Bastards," "The Last of the Small Town Playboys"...

But all in all my vote goes with DPT. I think musically, they are on top. Their tones are clean and always on, reminding me of more strokes-y type stuff. Also I love the upbeat alt. rock style, with lyrics just as poetic.

Babyshambles is a mess, which I love as well, but just doesn't click as much as DPT does with me.

What about the rest of you former Libertines fans?

Well first of all .. i have to say that i love The Libertines. Ok,now, since i love The Libertines i like both Carl and Peter. But when it comes to decide between DPT or Babyshambles i have to agree: i prefer Dirty pretty things. Unlike a lot of people i happen to think that Carl Barat is a much better lyricist than Mr.Doherty, and i think DPT music is quite a bit more entertaining than the Babyshambles music. I do like the Babyshambles, but DPT is better. I think. Anyway nothing was better than The Libertines. Pete and Carl together were simply amazing.
