I'm pleased to have inspired half of this poll.
 
I'm only familiar with one song by Nik Kershaw, the one I posted in the other thread (Wouldn't It Be Good), and which inspired half of this poll. As much as I liked this song, it was a guilty pleasure from the beginning, so I wasn't going to compound this guilt by exploring Nik Kershaw albums.
 
By contrast, I'm much more familiar with Ted Nugent. Also, I didn't feel guilty about liking Ted Nugent's music until recent times. However, there is only one Ted Nugent song that I really care about (Stranglehold).
 
So, for this poll, I'll be voting for "Wouldn't It Be Good" vs "Stranglehold", for which my vote goes to "Stranglehold", and hence Ted Nugent.
 
No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

the first two albums by Nik are of so high quality and multible listens ability, for me to seal of this competition in a vissious knock-out. The power of Roses are of such force it will leave the Nugent nugat soft.

Both are very underrated guitarists though as soloist.

I've listened to full length albums from Nugent, just to see what the fuss is all about.

If you have to ask why, then you just don't know.
