PRINCE -- I will admit, I like Skid Row, but they have no chance...
PRIMAL SCREAM -- Wilson Pickett is great, but Primal Scream is just one of those great bands. To decide I put the best of the best from both on and I found "Rocks" to be the deciding factor...
EW&F -- If I took one great electronic act over a great R&B act, it would only make sense that I went Daft Punk. And I thought long and hard and went Earth, Wind & Fire...
MAIDEN -- Naked Eyes had some great songs, but no match for Maiden...
FOO -- First easy choice.
STEREOPHONICS -- As great as Never Mind The Bollocks was, it was only one album. That one album would be enough for me to advance them on to the next round, except against an act like Stereophonics...
OMD --
ELVIS COSTELLO -- This just shows how tough this bracket is, I have to vote against Granmaster Flash...

Favorite this round - Prince, with Daft Punk closer than you might think
Favorite not voted for - Tied between Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five and Foo Fighters.
Prince - "I Remember You" is a guilty pleasure, though
Wilson Pickett
Earth, Wind & Fire
Naked Eyes - not 3rd round material, but Iron Maiden is not my cup of metal
Foo Fighters - Dave Grohl was completely overshadowed by Cobain, but he's a very good musician
pass
OMD - props to Carl for "Blue Suede Shoes" though
