    1) Beatles
    16) Tool

    I'm sooooo sorry, guys. Blame the awful matchup. You're so number 2 though. I :heart: you guys forevah!

    8) Guns N Roses
    9) Def Leppard

    Still hate Axl for ****ing this group up.

    5) Rush
    12) INXS

    Rush SUCKS imho. Plain and simple.

    4) Van Halen
    13) Dire Straits

    Not even a contest. I know one DS song and it was the one with the MTV cartoon video. Horrible.

    6) The Cure
    11) Blue Oyster Cult

    Blow out much?

    3) The Doors
    14) Chicago

    Bwahaha! 25 or 6 to 4 vs. The Doors? BWAHAHAHA!

    7) Grateful Dead
    10) Styx

    I hate hippies and I REALLY hate Styx. Flipped a coin.

    2) Eagles
    15) Rage Against the Machine

    Political whining vs. excellent elevator music? Easy choice.

    Bracket C:

    1) Led Zeppelin
    16) Live

    Long live the Bonham beats.

    8) The Clash
    9) Pantera

    Another coin flipper. Love 'em both.

    5) Black Sabbath
    12) Alice in Chains

    Love me some AIC, anytime.

    4) AC/DC
    13) Smashing Pumpkins

    AC/DC= overrated from hell.

    6) Dave Matthews Band
    11) Creedence Clearwater Revival (CCR)

    Thank my ex-girlfriend for this. She loves them, I don't dig her, therefore I don't dig her chick band.

    3) ZZ Top
    14) Stone Temple Pilots

    Early STP pwnd!

    7) The Ramones
    10) The Smiths

    Not...even...close. Smiths are a top 5 band ever in my book.

    2) Aerosmith
    15) Foo Fighters

    Grohl kicks ass, Aerosmith can't move into the nursing home soon enough. Terrible, terrible music.

    That's true, but with the **rate they're going at now** as Velvet Revolver, I think **they will be better than G & R.** That's the best CD I've heard come out in years. Scott Weiland is the man, and that band kicks ass.

    Worrrrrd.


    That'a way. I like how STP is gettin' some votes lately. Nice push, but we'll need a lot of younger people to show up to make it close.

    EDIT: STP is on fire! 4 in a row! Yay!

    Got a ways to make up, though, to catch the ZZ Top run of 50 straight, ha.:(

    You must have heard "So Far Away" and "Sultans Of Swing" before and maybe just not known it was Dire Straits. If you haven't heard those songs, you should give them a listen.

    Completely forgot about Sultans of Swing. I seriously love that song. So, I take back the horrible tag, but they still lose to VH.

    STP is a really good band. Unfortunately they are going up against the home town heros.

    I don't get how The Cure is getting so many votes. I recently got my girlfriend a best of Cure CD and it sucked. Maybe 4 good songs on the CD.
