Sabbath It was tough but the first 3 albums were so good and Frank was from NJ

Jeez, it was looking like an easy round (either matchups that I don't care about or easy choices), and then I saw

Elvis
VS
Queen

I'm going to have to think about that one. That's tough. I've been an Elvis fan since I was a little kid, and he was the King of Rock and Roll, but Queen was a truly great band - one of the very best. I'm not sure which one I'm going to pick.

If Costello and Waits lose in this round, I'm gonna cry, considering who they are matched up against.

Floyd
Miles (since Jimi is gonna win anyways)
Costello (HATE the White Stripes)
Waits
Pearl Jam
Elvis (not as tough as it sounds)
Eagles (the hardest matchup of this round for me)
Sinatra (Sab will win)

The Kinks
Miles Davis
Elvis Costello
Tom Waits
Oasis
The King
AC/DC
The Chairman

These choices were all incredibly easy.

Agreed, even though I picked almost opposite...

Wow, a lot of the artists who just snuck into the tourney are really dominating in it. Marvin Gaye, Bob Marley, and Jim Hendrix all were only on two top 10 lists, but each of them will be in the final 32 by the looks. And one of them is gonna make the final 16 for sure as Marley and Gaye are matched up in the next round. The Beatles may be unbeatable, but a lot of the other individual matchups are wide open in this tourney.

Edit: Fleetwood Mac is another two tally artist that is still alive.

Matchup #1: Pink Floyd
Matchup #2: Jimi Hendrix
Matchup #3: Elvis Costello
Matchup #4: Tom Waits
Matchup #5: Oasis
Matchup #6: Elvis Presley
Matchup #7: The Eagles
Matchup #8: Black Sabbath

1: Pink Floyd
2: Hendrix (not much of a jazz fan)
3: Costello
4: Abstain, not a fan of either
5: Pearl Jam
6: Elvis
7: The Eagles (but really close, by far the toughest call for me)
8: Sinatra (no disrespect to Sabbath, but Frank was THE man. There's so little respect in the music world for pop, but he was the greatest male pop vocalist ever)

The Kinks
Hendrix
Costello
*Pass*
Oasis
Presley
AC/DC
Black Sabbath

Rob Zombie, Black Sabbath, and AC/DC baby

Matchup #2: Miles Davis -Tough one
Matchup #6: Elvis Presley -Tough one
Matchup #7: AC/DC
Matchup #8: Frank Sinatra

I had to abstain on Matchup #7. Who are "The Eagles"?

Pink Floyd
Jimi Hendrix
Elvis Costello
Rob Zombie
Pearl Jam
Queen
AC/DC
Frank Sinatra

No "the", huh? Didn't know that, I've always heard them referred to as The Eagles. Sorry for the confusion

Matchup #1: Pink Floyd
Matchup #2: Jimi Hendrix
Matchup #3: Elvis Costello
Matchup #4: Rob Zombie (Tom Waits' voice annoys me)
Matchup #5: Pearl Jam
Matchup #6: Queen
Matchup #7: AC/DC (Toughest one, since I love both bands)
Matchup #8: Black Sabbath (Easy)

No problem. As long as The Ramones win this tourney, I don't care how the other matchups go.

The Johnny Cash already did them in, sorry.

I'd be curious to see how many of people who voted for Sinatra actually own any of his material.

I have somewhere around 30 or 40 Sinatra albums. Why do you ask?

The Kinks
Mles Davis
Elvis Costello
Tom Waits
Pearl Jam (barely)
Elvis Presley
The Eagles
Frank Sinatra
