Why not? Two bands don’t have to have a lot in common for “Which do you prefer?” to be an interesting question. (See the [Let’s Play Music Artist vs Music Artist!](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/lets-play-music-artist-vs-music-artist/716306) thread from a few years back.)

And I suspect there’s more overlap than you think among people who enjoy both bands.
