Re: "Favorite" Artist Tournament: Round of 128/Group #2
Now we have some tough matchups finally.
Bush - Ok The Who is better, definitely, but I've always had a soft spot for Bush.
Foo Fighters - Tough one. Theres a few Billy Joel songs that I think are great but there's a lot that bores me to death.
Def Leppard - I'll choose the happy band over the sad one, though it's somewhat of a tossup.
The Beach Boys - Another very difficult one. I love Tom Petty but The Beach Boys are truly immortal, well some of them
Kiss - Easy.
Weezer - Easier.
Talking Heads - Easiest.
Bee Gees - Seriously flip a coin.

Fun stuff and some hard decisions.
Matchup #1: The Who
Matchup #2: Billy Joel -- VERY tough.
Matchup #3: Def Leppard -- my wife will castrate me if I don't choose them.
Matchup #4: Tom Petty -- NEVER liked The Beach Boys. I respect "Pet Sounds" and admire it but I sure don't like listening to it one whit.
Matchup #5: Kiss -- err, no contest whatsoever.
Matchup #6: Weezer
Matchup #7: Fleetwood Mac -- love the Mac.
Matchup #8: Bee Gees -- regretful. I love RHCP but The Bee Gees are in their own stratosphere.

1. The Who - no explanation needed
2. Foo Fighters - I respect Billy Joel, but I'm not really a fan and I think FF are one of the very best rock bands going today
3. Alice In Chains - Not really a fan of AIC, but Def Leppard sucked after Pyromania
4. Abstain - Don't like or hate either of them
5. Abstain - Hate both of them. The Offspring singer has a horrible voice and Kiss just sucks.
6. Nick Cave - Weezer really went to shit after the first 2 albums
7. Talking Heads - A unique band.
8. RHCP - Don't care for the first 2 RHCP albums, but the rest are all good to great. Bee Gees are fun to listen to at nostalgia parties, but I have no interest in them other than that.

Someone with a faster internet connection than mine link to a bunch of Nick Cave videos. What's happening in that matchup is a travesty.
