Bracket A 1) Beatles 9) Del Leopard?

I know this is only half of the bracket, but anyone else feel like we could just cut to the chase...? #1 Led Zeppelin vs. #1 The Beatles
please people, we need some more RATM to get their votes in. let's pull off the "upset" and send the eagles back to sh!tter where they belong.
I am very surprised by how many hate the Eagles on this board. I dont know but my parents listen to them and I heard em all through when I was a kid and I think they are great. Why no love for the Eagles?
If I have already voted please ignore, hitting the vodka following the cougars choke. Tool (Sober is my national anthem...Beatles will win, no harm done); G n R Rush Dire Straits BOC The Doors Grateful Dead Rage Led Zeppelin Pantera Black Sabbath Smashing Pumpkins CCR ZZ Top Ramones Aerosmith
They're okay, but Rage has some really good guitarists and a good heavy sound. It's not just about people hating the Eagles but that Rage has some good music. I'm a huge Grunge fan, a top ten list of my favorite bands would include STP, Nirvana, Alice In Chains, Soundgarden, Rage, etc., so there's nothing I'd like to see more than to see these bands "upset" higher seeded bands like the Eagles. I refuse to give up on Stone Temple Pilots. Manny, from the time before last you posted the last scores at 28-16, there have been 4 votes for ZZ Top which would give them 32 as you counted but there have been 6 for STP which would give them 22 instead of 20. I'm sorry to gripe about 2 votes but every vote counts right? Then there's been 2 votes for ZZ since, so I'm thinking it stands at 34-22 now. "I'm sorry, sir, I didn't mean to go over your helmet."
