Didn't vote in 2 or 6, seeing as how I'm either unfamiliar with most of their work (Priest and, to a far lesser extent, Marley) or just sort of "eh..." to them in general (NIN and Springsteen). As for the other matchups:
1 - Marvin Gaye (tough one, especially as I have recently been listening to Discography and have found it's pretty much wall-to-wall genius; but alas, I'll stick with Gaye)
3 - Bob Dylan (easy one, though I like The Killers)
4 - The Doors (like NoirFan, Nirvana had more resonance for me when I was younger. Still like listening to them, but I tip the scales to The Doors, an amazing and rarely instrumental trio that were unfortunately marred occasionally by their dumbass singer)
5 - Stevie Wonder (though I have lots of love for Radiohead)
7 - Metallica (easy!)
8 - Van Halen (Along with Pearl Jam and The Smashing Pumpkins, Rage was one of those big 90's bands I just could not understand all the accolades and popularity. At least the other two bands had some great songs here and there; Rage couldn't even muster up one decent song)

I picked all the first choices of the match ups. Is that like picking the chalk in the NCAA bracket?

Marvin Gaye. I like Pet Shop Boys, but seriously.
Bob Marley. I hate Judas Priest.
Bob Dylan. Pretty much a no brainer.
Nirvana. The Doors are one of my all-time least favorite bands.
Radiohead. Very tough, but I like Radiohead a bit more. I've seen both in concert, and both were excellent.
Bruce Springsteen. Seriously?
I abstained from the final two, as I really don't like any of those four bands.

I was going to say I just came in to see who Mountain Biker had never heard of and Rockjmd beat me to it.

Most of these were pretty easy, but I abstained from the Dylan/Killers match-up. It depends on my mood, but I'd probably prefer listening to the Killers about 75% of the time. That said, it'd feel like sacrilege to vote for them over Dylan, even if it is just personal listening preference.

Metallica vs STP was a very hard choice for me. But it came down to the fact that I don't care for STP's music nearly as much post-Purple. Wish they would have stuck with the style from the their first album. So I went with Metallica since they have stayed consistenly fucking awesome.
