More than one person voted for "Weird Al" Yankovic over The Beatles? I understand this is the internet but come on!

My picks:
Rnd 1 - Abstain
Rnd 2 - The musicians
Rnd 3 - The Cure
Rnd 4 - Arcade Fire
Rnd 5 - Abstain (I don't think I'm familiar with The Church)
Rnd 6 - Beck
Rnd 7 - Ramones
Rnd 8 - David Bowie
Rnd 9 - Beastie Boys
...I don't think it's The Beastie Boys, The Ramones, or The Dave Matthews Band, is it? Not that it's that important.

Some actual tough choices for me this round, and some not. Had some of these been an artists prior group (re: Ozzy/Black Sabbath and Michael Jackson/Jackson 5) instead of their solo work, it may have gone another way in the voting for me.

Black Sabbath is also in the tourney, they are the #22 seed. The Jackson 5 didn't make it in.

The question is "favorite", not "most influential" or "best". I chose the band/artist I would generally prefer listening to of the two. These were all easy, very easy, or extremely easy choices for me.

I abstained in all but two matches:
The Beatles vs. "Weird Al" Yankovic - The Fab Four never did anything for me, whereas Al has periodically contributed parodies of pure genius. He wears thin quickly for me, but he's on my iPod and they're not.
Johnny Cash vs. Beck - I'll say this right now: I think if Johnny Cash had died prior to working with Rick Rubin, he wouldn't even be in this tournament. Those American Recordings made him relevant again, and he hadn't been that in quite a while. Still, when I look back on that body of work--full of forgettable recordings though it may be--I see some genuine works of art.

Weird Al - I listened to him all the time as a kid. And I still like some of 80's parodies and original songs. I never could get into the Beatles.
The Ramones
Johnny Cash

Thank you! A sentiment I have repeatedly had to keep making for other folks who "don't get it" in the other rounds. Glad it wasn't me who had to do it this time.

If Beck has to lose to somebody, I'm glad it's Cash.

The 80's forever tainted Bowie for me, culminating with the duet with Jagger, ripping apart my soul... hope the Police can pull it out.
