We've gotten past the first round, thanks to you voters. The competition gets a little tougher from hereon, as all the bands currently here are better than some; that says a little. ;) Results from yesterday...

Van Halen 9 - Justin Timberlake 1
The Rasmus 2 - moe. 2
Nirvana 6 - Explosions in the Sky 5
Billy Idol 4 - Deep Purple 6

Overall a VERY close night (par the Van Halen - Justin Timberlake battle). Especially with the Rasmus and moe., they tied for two votes apiece (no one here seems to know either of them), so they'll have to replay their matches tonight. Meanwhile...

The Rasmus - moe.
Squarepusher - Judas Priest
Frank Zappa - Dire Straits
Pink Floyd - Dream Theater
Tool - Simon & Garfunkel

May the best bands win.

"Catch the wind, see us spin, sail away, leave today, way up high in the sky."

moe.
Judas Priest
Dire Straits (but ONLY because 1) Dire Straits was one of the first bands I really got into, and therefore nostalgia vote, and 2) I'm not familiar enough with Zappa's entire body of work to cast a vote for him ... but if I was, I'm sure he'd get my vote, because he is the greatest musical genius on the face of the planet)
Pink Floyd
abstain - Whatever.

Set the gearshift for the high gear of your soul.
You've got to run like an antelope - out of control.

Also, I'm very saddened that Nirvana beat Explosions in the Sky. Everyone who voted for Nirvana = Coolness -1.
