Big Star are my favorite band, but I'm just happy they made it this far.

Wow, the #4 overall seed is in some serious trouble here. There is still time to get your votes in as the poll has been extended an extra day. We also have at least one other very close matchup in this group....

[slop101]

This was a weird round as what motivated my vote was my hate for one band rather then my love for the other choice.


Matchup #1

#4 Iron Maiden
vs
#125 Marvin Gaye
Actually, I love both quite a bit, but had to go with Gaye


Matchup #2

#61 Pet Shop Boys
vs
#68 Kings of Leon
Can't fucking stand KoL - innocuous to the point of absurdity


Matchup #3

#29 Rush
vs
#100 Bob Marley
I used to love Rush, but now I see their songs as a joke, and I've gotten pretty sick of Marley, but his songs are much better than Rush's


Matchup #4

#36 Judas Priest
vs
#93 Yeah Yeah Yeahs
I like JP just fine, and I fucking HATE YYY


Matchup #5

#13 Bob Dylan
vs
#116 Simon & Garfunkel
I like S&G just fine, but Dylan, shit, I can only think of a couple other artists that might beat him out - although I did see Paul Simon and Dylan tour together almost 20 years ago, and Simon's set/performance was much better.


Matchup #6

#52 The Killers
vs
#77 Slayer
Can't fucking stand the fucking Killers - a shit band for people with shit taste


Matchup #7

#20 Nirvana
vs
#109 Big Star
Love BS (even though they only have 2-3 good albums) and am ambivalent toward Nirvana


Matchup #8

#45 The Doors
vs
#84 Queensryche
Not exactly a fan of Queensryche, but the Doors are one of my most hated bands of all time

[Giles]

Iron Maiden
Pet Shop Boys
Rush
Judas Priest
Bob Dylan
Slayer
Big Star
Queensryche

Although several of my votes stemmed from antipathy towards a particular artiste/band, in line with the way things are supposed to work on Music Talk (for the maintenance of public order), I have to say that I found it very easy not to slam the taste of others. I'd very much like it if you could take heed.

tell that to the schmuck that slammed my mention of Air Supply and Bonnie Tyler - what a jack ass.

For those interested there is a new selection thread in the movie forum. Favorite Movie of the 90's.....

Perhaps I'm reading your post too literally, but doesn't the evocation of your hatred toward their music actually make them the opposite of innocuous?
