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.

[Bombay Chutney]

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

[kosmo vinyl]

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:  
 
 and i had to stop and clean up the puke seeing that the Smashing Pumpkins beat the MC5

[kosmo vinyl]

Ok The Smiths beating Danzig is pretty classic

[nkotb]

I can see the Dead beating just about anyone, but these below make me sad...thought no entirely surprised...

*gasp* not the silent treatment!!
 
 oh you mean boys!

[kosmo vinyl]

Ok Round two is up and there is are some definite which of the pair sucks least matches up...
 
 this one amuses me
 
 Michael Jackson vs. Get Up Kids
 
 and i believe smackies head will explode when he gets to this one
 
 Journey vs. Scissor Sisters
 
 the most unfair match-ups are
 
 The Clash vs. Monkees
 Simon & Garfunkel vs. My Bloody Valentine

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.
