i will choose mcfly..... they are way better than a1! a1 never surpass the pressure of being in the music industry, they ended splitting up. actually even if they're still around, they will not go that far on their career! and the stupid thing some people did was to adore such fake artist like a1.

I think if a1 came around now they wouldn't do well, the same goes for McFly, if they had been around a1 time they would have flopped. Dum Dums, Hepburn anyone?

Yep, me too, though mainly thanks to the French version of Caught In The Middle, a duet with Eve Angeli, the dimmest popstar in France, if not Europe, or indeed the world...

It has to be a1 without a doubt. ok so a1 aren't around anymore but in 2 years time we'll probably say the same things about mcfly.
a1 were a talented band who worked so hard to get the success they achieved. They had 3 very good albums especially their final and most honest to themselves, Make It Good. Towards the end they put more pressure on the record company to allow them more freedom in the music and their style.
The main difference between the two bands is that quite simply a1 did it on their own, without using anyone else which goes along way. Mcfly wouldn't have half the success they have had if it wasn't for Busted. Busted did all of the hard work, creating this new "punk pop" and mcfly simply walked in and took a large chunk of their fanbase. OK so Tom has co-written most of Busteds top hits but with lyrics like "i messed my pants as we flew over france" can't say I'd put those up for an ivan ovello

Since Busted & Mcfly started wearing 3 quarter length Dickie trousers with white and wearing band t-shirts and playing instruments.

A1 was original (agreeing with statement above)...they were fun and cheesy at first and then kept evolving (reminds me of Madonna but better) from there. It was a shame to see them go. I haven't heard much of McFly but one song and it seems (once again agreeing with a previous statement) that they are just one of those bands that you can't tell apart from all the others of the moment (like Busted). No offense to them however, because I like that style of music- A1 was just better.

You pretty much refer to their image...if we were to judge artist's specific genre on what they wear, well, most people would think Christina was the warm up act for a burlesque show. Musically, McFly are not very much of the punk pop.

like buggery they're punk-pop! they are very distinguishable against other bands
and yes A1 were original, were they not? that was a reality slap for me...
incredibly random comparison thread by the way.

i prefer mcfly. despite what all you music snobs say about them taking a share of busted's fame bla-dee-bla, their music makes me infintely more happy than a1's ever made me. i don't really care where bands come from, what genre they are, etc. if i like the music then i'll be having them.

Isn't it about time McFly flew to Iraq and put on a show for the insurgents? I'm sure they'd be perfectly safe....

I'm sure they'd be perfectly safe.... a1 should have gone there too when they're still around.... but im sure people there will throw bomb to them in the middle of the performance coz they sound horrible, they'll be disbanded even in iraq! hahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

kept evolving (reminds me of Madonna but better) Pardon? You're comparing A1 to Madonna and concluding A1 were better? Neither A1 nor McFly are exactly breaking musical territory. A1 produced standard late-90s pop (excluding the last album). McFly blatantly rip off the Beach Boys. But at least A1 didn't have the cunty attitude of Mcfly, and non of them were as ugly as Tom. I always thought the blonde one looked like he belonged in the Hitler Youth.
