When making mash ups, I often think about the implications of the two artists battling it out to the death. Most of the outcomes are obvious (Van Halen would annihilate the Jackson 5), but the idea of Maroon 5 fighting The Cure is an interesting match. There are so many things to consider in order to determine a winner here: senility, street smarts, tightness of pants, endurance, gothiness, star factor, brass knuckles, production, always the production, demographics, racial inequality, battle experience and sassiness.
Ultimately, it would end in a tie, with no man left standing.
