Marvin Gaye
PSB
Rush (this was a close one)
Judas Priest
Simon And Garfunkel
The Killers (I'm not religious or anything but Slayer is too Satanic IMO)
Nirvana
The Doors

1. Iron Maiden - I respect Marvin Gaye, but not really a soul/r&b fan.
2. Pet Shop Boys - Kings Of Leon do nothing for me. They are just another band.
3. Rush - I've been a Rush fan for many years.
4. JP
5. Abstain - not a fan of either
6. Abstain - not a fan of either
7. Abstain - not a fan of either. I think Nirvana is overrated, but I'm not familiar with the other group
8. QR - I think The Doors are very overrated a QR had a 5-album run that is awesome.

Queensryche - Tough one i really love the doors, but i am an 80's child so Queensryche wins my vote.

Iron Maiden, by far
abstain - never heard of "Kings of Leon"
Rush
Judas Priest, never heard of "Yeah Yeah Yeahs" either, but don't care -Priest is an all-time fave
Bob Dylan
Slayer
abstain - never heard of "Big Star"
Queensryche

It is funny how the draw shakes out sometimes. It looks like Cobain vs Morrison is likely to happen.

Matchup #1: Marvin Gaye
Matchup #3: Bob Marley
Matchup #5: Bob Dylan (tough one)

Wonderful it will give me a chance to vote for The Doors, had to go with Queensryche in this round.

im surprised its so close netween Maiden and Marvin Gaye

really? remember that What's Going On frequently makes the top 10 on "all time album" lists, so I don't consider it a surprise that he's holding his own

Matchup #1: Marvin Gaye
Matchup #4: Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Matchup #5: Bob Dylan
Matchup #6: The Killers
Matchup #7: Nirvana
Matchup #8: The Doors

Hate to see Iron Maiden get blown out in the opening round but if they had to be blown out by anybody, I'm glad it's Marvin Gaye

People are voting for the Killers over SLAYER!??!?! If I had any doubt that the opinions of dvdtalkers are bass ackwards in many areas, this completely proves it.

This is a popularity contest and entirely subjective so.... no whining, please, if you find yourself to be in the minority opinion in any particular part of the vote. That way the thing stays open and everyone can just be quietly smug as to the value of their own superior opinions.

Yeah, no whining . . . I mean, damn, some band named Nirvana is beating my Big Star. What the hell?!

Queensryche is getting demolished.
