gnr should knock out rhcp. IMO, it shouldn't even be a contest.


I don't understand the infatuation with GNR. They weren't that talented to begin with, the lead singer sucks, and they had only a couple of albums.
I'm back. Sorta.

Do not boo Johnny.

It's not a matter of GNR being that great, it's a matter of RHCP being that bad.

Even so, GNR taking down U2, Alice In Chains, heck even the Pixies is down right perverse.

I think they should have stopped at U2, but that's just me.

Well after just over a month's worth of polls we have now wittled down the field of 64 to just two bands.

Nirvana vs. Guns N Roses

Well it looks like Nirvana won. Thanks to everyone that participated and made the BMRB a great success!
;-D


OK I got some flack for not including the B-Boys in the tourney. But when it came down to it they just didn't fit in to the competition totally. If I did it again I'd probably allow solo artists to help strengthen the field (Beck, Ben Harper, Lenny Kravitz to name a few).

I have ideas for future battles though I must say I'm gonna enjoy the break for a while. ;-)

Until then thanks for playing and check out my Wild Card Matchup that I tossed up as a fun bonus.
