Or rather, "the unique combination of people not liking Kanye and Eminem and voting for Outkast by default."

As for this round... shoot. I'm gonna have to think about this for a while and get back to you.

Oh yeah, I realize that. And I do like Outkast, and I'm disappointed that they're new album has been pushed back to next year. And even if my choice (Kanye) had won, I don't have any illusions that he wouldn't have been stomped in round two by absolutely anybody he was put up against. But it was a lovely throwaway round for the few of us who were interested by it, so thank you for indluging us. (Same commentary applies to the future Nick Cave/Tom Waits round. Don't matter who wins that one - they won't be making it to round three. But I'm still looking forward to it!)

I'm still thinking about this round, though...

And also thinking about who's going to win the whole thing... I think I've got a pretty good idea.

Ooh, throw NWA in there, too, for good measure!

What do you think if I put Leonard Cohen up against Tom Waits and Nick Cave?

Yes! And I am ashamed of myself for never thinking of Cohen. He's a great match for both of them.

Oh cruel! I love all three of them, and for totally different reasons. AAAAAh! How will I choose?

Oh man, TLC v. Salt 'n Pepa would kick ass.

Poor Spinderella never gets her due.

After Left Eye died, a friend of mine wiped away a tear and proclaimed: "No scrubs where you are, old friend..."

Bonnie Raitt. I love her.

I agree! I'd love to see that round.

Eric Clapton, great guitar player, I have a couple of his albums while I don't know much of Bonnie Raitt. So he's my choice.

Yep. She has better hair and a better voice, IMO.

Eh. Eric is a better guitarist. But hair is important.
