Moby vs. Lionel Richie
Public Enemy vs. Mary J. Blige
Not worth the vote
Bryan Adams vs. Blues Traveler
Collective Soul vs. Justin Timberlake

This reminds me of my college roommate, who would take ANY conversation and twist it into something music related. It got so annoying that when he's do it at the dining hall table, we'd all give him the silent treatment.
They're doing the same thing with beer in the Washington Post. I guess everyone has their own passion.

I actually really like Collective Soul, and absolutely despise Timberlake, so I beg to differ on that one being worth voting on.
-
Yeah - It's a little long.
The only one I had a hard time deciding was Television vs. Sleater-Kinney.

In bracket B here was some of my observations
The Velvet Underground is beating Kravitz but poor Big Star is going up against the Chem Bros. And how do you choose between DEVO and P-Funk or Wire and My Bloody Valentine
-
In Bracket A
Misfits beat Sigur Ros
Audioslave beat T. Rex WTF!
The Grateful Dead beat Teenage Fanclub :(
My Chemical Romanace beat Ween :eek:
Jethro Tull beat Muse (talk about a battle of inflated egos)
Styx beat The Dead Milkmen :eek:

-
Ok The Smiths beating Danzig is pretty classic
-

1) Styx shouldn't beat anything.
2) I don't care for Ween, but My Chemical Romance is . . . . well, let's not elaborate on them. They pass themselves off as a rock band. But here's my theory on that.
Just cause you pour syrup on shit, that doesn't make it pancakes.
3) Love the Pumpkins, but > the MC5??? Fuck no.
Lastly, in all fairness, I won't begin to justify nor pretend that Audioslave ever stood up to the legend of Rage & Soundgarden. But last I checked, T. Rex tracks (Electric Warrior is a GREAT/CLASSIC album, though) do NOT contain the guitar work of Tom Morello. And in a perfect world, indie hipster or otherwise, I think we all should agree that Tom Morello is a BAD man. That's all . . . Good day.
