Elton John - interesting matchup...Kenny Rogers is kind of like the country version of Elton John. A long steady career over several decades, and collaborations with everyone under the sun. Never really dominant, but consistently good for a long time.
Tracy Chapman - Whitesnake was fun. In high school.
Sammy Hagar - not a fan of L.R., though I don't think Hagar really deserves a spot in round 3 either.
Don Henley - tough choice...I like Kylie, but I think Henley is the more substantive artist
The Clash
Dionne Warwick - not a fan of Common
Stevie Ray Vaughn
Four Tops
Today's Favorite: Elton John
Today's favorite I didn't vote for: Kenny Rogers
Favorite Song from today's bracket: "Daniel", Elton John
ELTON -- End of the line for The Gambler...
WHITESNAKE -- Tracy had 3 good songs and some other stuff, WS believe it or not had 3 pretty good albums in their heyday...
LITTLE RICHARD -- I can't drive 55 either. Now if it were tequila I'd take Cabo over Tutti Fruitti anyday...
HENLEY -- Though Kylie is much more sexier...
CLASH -- THE ONLY BAND THAT MATTERS!!!!
COMMON -- Not many rappers post golden age of hip-hop (1986-1995) would get my vote here...
SRV -- I forgot who the Spin Doctors knocked out, but does it really matter. For those curious enough, it was Disturbed...
FOUR TOPS -- My 1st inclination was to vote for Arctic Monkeys, until I looked at the list again...

Sammy Hagar is one bad dude! I mean, he can't drive 55 miles per hour! He's way too much of a rebel. He doesn't even care if it costs him his license!

Kylie Minogue - Top class pop.
The Clash
Common - Two classy purveyors of their respective genres. Warwick's stuff is a touch too light for me.
Spin Doctors - Not a blues fan. Spin Doctors were slight, but fun.
Four Tops - Tough call. I fault the Four Tops for not having the sweet harmoies of their bretheren, the Temptations. But Stubbs' voice was a monster. And their material was incredible.
Favorite this round - Probably the Clash
