Let's play a game.

[REG]

Alright, here's how it goes. You take a band or specific album and find it's anime equivalent. EX: Excel Saga= Weird Al, or Cowboy Bebop= Bob Dylan.
Criteria can include, but is not lmited to longevity, era, critical acclaim, commercial sucess, and most importantly, the aesthetic soul of each artist.
Now you try.

[ChaoofNee]

Reign = Boy George

[Ashen Victor]

Reign = the Village People.

[stormy]

beatles = evangelion

[REG]

beatles = evangelion

No.
Hellsing= AC-DC
Evangelion= The Eagles

[Bacon McShig]

I don't know, I've always kinda thought EVA = Nine Inch Nails. At least towards the end of the series, anyway.

Irresponsible Captain Tylor = Weezer
Lupin = Cake

[stormy]

No.

I thought it was good. They're both considered classics. They're both controvercial in how much influence they actually had on their medium with zealots on each side. And they both start off normal and then get totally fucked up on drugs.

True, but lets really look at the Beatles, just saying that they "got fucked up on drugs" is way too simple. They musically evolved. EVA just got convoluted.

[icarusfall]

Eva = 'Sadness Will Prevail' by Today is the Day.

FLCL = The Blood Brothers - Burn, Piano Island, Burn.

[Green]

FLCL and EVA (stormy's) I like.

Akira- Dizzee Rascal, Boy in Da Corner. I keep thinking of scenes from Akira when I listen to this. Brand New Day= monster teddy bears, Just Do It= the flashbacks at the end.
Ghost in the Shell- "Ghosts" by Japan. For the slow and careful pace of the song (plus the futuristic and oriental themes).
