I hated voting against Air. They make amazing music and have done no wrong. If they were against anyone else in this round, except Marley, they would have got my vote.

I like some of the others, but I figured I'd only vote in this round for the clear winners.

Jimi Hendrix
Thin Lizzy
Def Leppard

They're against Jimi Hendrix, not Marley. Is that what you meant?

No, I meant against anyone else besides who they are against (Hendrix) and Marley. Those are the only two this round that I would have voted for over Air. I hope that makes better sense. Or I could just say I'd rank my top 3 in this round: 1.Marley 2.Hendrix 3.Air

LOL...you just made me feel high (and by that I mean marijuana)

The National - Very easy choice. I'll write off their loss this round to the large number of people that seem not to have heard them.

Jimi Hendrix - Don't listen to much of either of these choices these days, but I used to be quite a fiend for Hendrix.

Bob Marley - Not a huge Marley fan, but given the choice between silence and Rammstein, I'll take silence every time.

Ray Charles - Two artists that hover out around the edges of my musical taste, but I slightly prefer Charles.

Peter Gabriel - Another fairly easy choice, as I've always enjoyed Gabriel and have never been a huge Thin Lizzy fan.

Faith No More - Two artists I'm only casually familiar with, but I give the slight edge to Faith No More.

Def Leppard - Neither of these artists' catalogs have aged well, but Def Leppard's not quite as bad.

The Cars - I love the Cars and despise Fleetwood Mac. Easiest choice of this round.

Ditto
