Aerosmith vs. Iron Maiden - Tough choice but Maiden have always been about the music while the Smith kept getting lost in the drugs.

The Eagles vs. Beach Boys - As much a I love Hotel California, Brian Wilson did more to influence music including inspiring The Beatles to make Sgt Pepper.

Van Halen vs. Prince - No contest. Prince sucks.

Queen vs. Alter Bridge - No contest.

Aerosmith V Iron Maiden: My mates in Planet Metal would kill me if they saw this but I've always loved Aerosmith (pre Don't Wanna Miss A Thing).
The Eagles V Beach Boys: Hotel California V Surfin' USA... PLEASE!!!!
Van Halen V Prince: Prince is a knob FACT.
Queen V Alterbridge: I listen to Alterbridge a hell of a lot more, but Queen will always have pride of place in my record collection and I grew up on them.

Aerosmith vs. Iron Maiden - Tough, but Maiden have been consistantly great where Aerosmith kind of headed towards radio-friendly-unit-shifters occasionally.
The Eagles vs. Beach Boys - Never really got into the Beach Boys
Van Halen vs. Prince - Agreed, Prince is a cock.
Queen vs. Alter Bridge - Although I do listen to Alter Bridge, its Queen!

Aerosmith vs. Iron Maiden - Having seen both Live and appreciating both bands.  Aerosmith win for the more influencial career.

The Eagles vs. Beach Boys - Not a big fan of the Eagles and I grew listening to the beach boys.

Van Halen vs. Prince - Prince is a genius no doubt.  They fact he writes some amazing songs (See Purple Rain, Nothing Compares 2 U, U got the look, Sign O The Times etc.) he is also as good as if not a better guitarist than Eddie.  Plus he still has about 300 hours of recorded unreleased material.

Queen vs. Alter Bridge - Contraversial choice, but if the Beatles can get voted off then Im voting for the Bridge.

Results:

Iron Maiden-4, Aerosmith-3 (I'd call this an upset).
The Eagles-5, Beach Boys-2
Van Halen-5, Prince-2 (I know that there was no shot at Van Halen going down, but I still don't think they are very good).
Queen-6, Alter Bridge-1 (I knew that DM would do it. I just knew it).

So here are the bands in the final 16:

The Beatles, Foo Fighters, Frank Sinatra, Elvis, Metallica, U2, AC/DC, KISS, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Rolling Stones, Iron Maiden, The Eagles, Van Halen, Queen

I'll be back with the next pairings soon.

The Beatles vs. Iron Maiden
Foo Fighters vs. Frank Sinatra
Metallica vs. AC/DC
KISS vs. Van Halen

Videos:

The Beatles - Strawberry Fields Forever

One of the best songs that Lennon ever wrote.

Iron Maiden - Run to the Hills

Nice psychedelic guitar in this song.

Foo Fighters - Everlong

This just happens to be my favorite song.

Frank Sinatra - My Way

This is how a crooner works

Metallica - One

Probably my favorite song from the band.

AC/DC - Thunderstruck

Can they take on Metallica?

KISS - Detroit Rock City

One of the best live acts ever

Van Halen - Jump

Can you tell that I'll do anything to get Van Halen eliminated?

The Beatles vs. Iron Maiden - Anyone who ever votes against The Beatles should be banned

Foo Fighters vs. Frank Sinatra - Sinatra was a one-trick pony, and the Foos just keep evolving. Dave Grohl could beat Sinatra by himself

Metallica vs. AC/DC - Sorry metalheads, it's just how the cards fell

KISS vs. Van Halen - You guys should know by now.

The Beatles vs. Iron Maiden - You swine!! Very tough as both are favourites but The Beatles ARE the most important band in music history so...

Foo Fighters vs. Frank Sinatra - No contest.

Metallica vs. AC/DC - Very tough again but AC/DC have never made albums as bad as St. Anger.

KISS vs. Van Halen - Another tough choice but KISS are my favourite band ever.

Results:

The Beatles-3, Iron Maiden-3 (This is a tie. I need one more vote from someone who hasn't already voted to break it. If nobody else votes in 24 hours, then the higher seed - The Beatles - will move on to the next round).

Foo Fighters-4, Frank Sinatra-2

Metallica-5, AC/DC-1

KISS-4, Van Halen-2 (Finally! Justice is served!)

Here is the second - and final - set of matchups in the Elite 8 acts.

Led Zeppelin vs. Jimi Hendrix
Rolling Stones vs. Eric Clapton
Elvis vs. The Eagles
Queen vs. U2

Led Zeppelin - Kashmir

This is the performance from the O2 Arena last December.

Jimi Hendrix - Fire

From Woodstock in 1969.

Rolling Stones - Paint it Black

I learned in my music class that this song is in a minor scale. :D

Eric Clapton - Wonderful Tonight

One of the greatest love songs from one of the greatest musicians of all-time

Elvis - My Way

He truly did do it his way.

The Eagles - Desperado

Johnny Cash's cover of this song was one of the best I've ever heard, but it still can't compare to the original.

Queen - Another One Bites the Dust

One of the most unique songs of all-time

U2 - One

Unfortunately, they may be out of their league here.

Led Zeppelin vs. Jimi Hendrix - This was a tough one, but Zeppelin has been around FOREVER!

Rolling Stones vs. Eric Clapton - I can't believe I did it! This has a little to do with the fact that I think Clapton is probably the most talented musician ever.

Elvis vs. The Eagles - Don't tell my grandpa!

Queen vs. U2 - I don't know what to say; this is the last easy choice.

Led Zeppelin vs. Jimi Hendrix - mega tough. Probably the most unfair pairing yet. I had to toss a coin.
Rolling Stones vs. Eric Clapton - Fairly easy
Elvis vs. The Eagles - No contest
Queen vs. U2 - Slightly tougher

We are down to 8 acts!

The Beatles vs. Foo Fighters
KISS vs. Metallica
Led Zeppelin vs. Elvis
Queen vs. Rolling Stones

I tried to make these matchups as fair as possible, but it's obvious that it's going to start getting difficult to pick the winners. Do me a favor and take some time, assess each group's career, and THEN vote.

The Beatles vs. Foo Fighters - This one is just too easy. The Foos do deserve to be here (although I think Nirvana deserves it more), but they don't deserve to go any further.

KISS vs. Metallica - I'm not a big fan of either (which doesn't matter, really), but Metallica is more iconic and makes more high quality music

Led Zeppelin vs. Elvis - Elvis basically started rock & roll. Without him, it wouldn't have lasted very long.

Queen vs. Rolling Stones - This one is sooo difficult to pick. I'll admit that I like Queen more than the Stones, but the Stones are great and are still going strong. They have that amazing blues base, and Queen is more of a stadium band, but I just have to go with Queen here, as I think they transcend music.

The Beatles vs. Foo Fighters - Like there's any contest there....
KISS vs. Metallica - Hard, Hard Choice.  But after seeing them both Live I go with KISS
Led Zeppelin vs. Elvis - One of the greatest entertainers who ever lived vs an overhyped rock band...?
Queen vs. Rolling Stones - This was really hard and I would have gone with Queen was it not for the continuation with Paul Rogers after Freddie died...  At least the Stones still have their original line up still going.  Plus after seeing Shine A Light the other day, it swayed me...

Led Zeppelin vs. Elvis - Uber toughie no 1... cry.gif (And Zep aren't over-hyped DM! Wash your mouth out!)
Queen vs. Rolling Stones - Uber toughie no 2....cry.gif Queen just get the nod only because their music was more inventive.

The Beatles vs. Foo Fighters - I personally believe the beatles to be the most over rated band ever to strap on a guitar. I see other bands of the era like Led Zeppelin and The Doors and wonder how they got to be as big as they were.

KISS vs. Metallica - Again, Kiss are hella over rated, for me Metallica have always quenched my musical thirst in every mood. For me they're my own personal best band ever, lust like the tattoo on my forarm would sudgest.

Led Zeppelin vs. Elvis - The best band of the 1960's even though their debut wasn't until 1969 Led Zeppelin 1 it's still in my opinion one of if not the best record of that decade,

Queen vs. Rolling Stones - I only really like one of Rolling Stone's songs, so Queen F.T.W!

Sorry it took so long, but I kinda wanted to give as many people as possible a chance to vote. Plus, I forgot...sorry. Here are last rounds results:

The Beatles (6) def. Foo Fighters (1)
Metallica (4) def. KISS (3)
Elvis (5) def. Led Zeppelin (2)
Queen (6) def. Rolling Stones (1)

And, now we have the semifinals. This round will be a little different. Instead of having matchups, I will ask for each voter to pick two groups. Plain and simple. Plus, I've decided to throw in 2 wild cards for this round. The top two will make it to the finals, and there will be a medley of "events" to choose the winner.

PICK TWO OF THESE SIX

The Beatles
Metallica
Elvis
Queen
Rolling Stones
Led Zeppelin
