Queen will, Queen will, rock you.

Queen.

ouch, that's tough one......


have to the Yardbirds

Queen

queen

Sure, the Yardbirds spawned other great bands and solo acts, but they were nothing special themselves. (At least not compared to the likes of Queen, anyway.) Without using Google, name 3 songs that the Yardbirds are famous for.

I can name 10 that Queen is famous for.

(they ARE, afterall, "The Champions")

heart full of soul, still I'm sad, for your love....


no googling involved, evil hearted you.....

OK. Good job. :) I only recognize one of those songs, though. Maybe that says more about me.

Still I'm Sad wasn't a hit this side of the pond... which is one reason why

Queen wins this match

The north division first round is done

U2 (1)
vs
Misfits (16)

U2

Much as I think Bono acts as if he has a gold bar permanently up his arse it still has to be

U2

U2 (Bloody Sunday)

U2 wins, a blowout

Talking Heads (8)
vs
Clash (9)

The Clash

Talking Heads

clash

Talking Heads

Two great bands. RIP Joe Strummer.

Talking Heads (Remain in light)

The world needs more songs about buildings and food as long as we have fear of music.

Talking Heads wins. The 8-9 seed is always difficult.

INXS (5)
vs
Franz Ferdinand (12)

http://cellar.org/fieldof64/64.php?field=bands

Please...INXS

INXS


(talking heads beat the clash? Daaaaaayam.)

That was a good pairing. I would have gone Heads, but t'would have been tough.

INXS

Yeah - I wish that had been in the sweet 16 or elite 8. I would have gone with the Clash, but I wouldn't have liked it. :rar:

Franz Ferdinand

this is a protest vote against INXS doing that crappy, crappy "Rock Star" show to find a new lead singer.

FF deserved better, but they are still growing whereas INXS made their mark - maybe next time if they they demonstrate longevity...

INXS wins.

AC/DC (4)
vs
Rush (13)

AC/DC

(nighty-night!)

Rush

Acca Dacca

rush.

more tom fills.

rush

brilliant musicians. (understatement)

Rush

A nice comeback for Rush, and the first upset of the tourney. (But I'm proud.)

Springsteen & E-St Band (6)
vs
Radiohead (11)

Bruce

Springsteen WINS

Led Zeppelin (3)
vs
Blues Traveler (14)

http://cellar.org/fieldof64/64.php?field=bands

Led Zeppelin

Led Zeppelin


sucks that blues traveler should fall so early. there are a few really really tough match ups ahead in the west. in round 2 i see hendrix facing jane's addiction, nirvana v. chili peppers.

Zep

Zep, of course....



But beats me how you guys can vote out Yardbirds yet vote Lled Zep......

Zep kills.

Kinks (7)
vs
Aerosmith (10)

http://cellar.org/fieldof64/64.php?field=bands

another tougfh one.......

Kinks

Aerosmith

Kinks are good but Aerosmith has to get the nod.

aerosmith

for introducting white america to Run DMC

Aerosmith

LIv will be pleased, but Ray won't be happy - His Waterloo sun has set....

Kinks

Aerosmith wins it. I was always pissed at the Kinks for having "Paranoia the Destroyer" use the same riff as "All Day and All of the Night". If you're going to have radio hits, write new songs.

Black Sabbath (2)
vs
Meatloaf (15)

http://cellar.org/fieldof64/64.php?field=bands

yeah, i see what cha mean on the same "riff" type thing... Bo Diddly and Chuck Berry were the masters of that, too... (hard to listen to a whole hour of either one)

I guess I'll go Black Sabbath first and Meat second.

Meatloaf, even though they (he) really only had one good album

thump .. thump .. thump .. thump .. I .. AM .. IRON .. MAN

Black Sabbath
