Battle of the Bands! Round 5

Crossposted from my last.fm music journal.

Alright down to Round 5. There were a number of really close votes this time around, but no ties. I’m very disappointed that so many people really think The White Stripes are better than Beck (seriously?!), but hey, this is a vote not a dictatorship.

On to round 5 now. Same as last time, vote for one in each group of two, the seeds were handled as if it was the NCAA tournament, no reseeding. Groups A and D are just brutal.

A.
1. The Beatles
9. Radiohead

B.
15. The White Stripes
26. The Cure

C.
19. The Clash
6. The Smashing Pumpkins

D.
4. Johnny Cash
5. Pearl Jam

  2. Not sure what silly people think the White Stripes are better than Beck, they are good but way over hyped, and I’m not all that much of a Beck fan.

    Anyways, my votes:

    A. (Tough call, but I’m going for the “who was most influential” thing.)
    1. The Beatles

    B. (Duh!)
    26. The Cure

    C. (Another duh!)
    19. The Clash

    D. (Not a fan of the Jam these days, way too pretentious for my ears.)
    4. Johnny Cash

    I think White Stripes have 2 good songs (but can’t name them at the moment) and are a bit…”faddish”. Beck has actual talent and is hella quirky. My kind of quirky.

    Here are my votes:
    A.
    9. Radiohead

    B.
    26. The Cure (c’mon Cure fans, come through for me!)

    C.
    19. The Clash

    D.
    4. Johnny Cash (this one is indeed BRU-TAL).
