Re: UMT 3.11...

This is the weakest of all 16 3rd round brackets...

Slicks votes... BOWIE... GIN BLOSSOMS... JOY DIVISION... THE SMITHS... UGH, ROD STEWART... AL GREEN... THE KINKS... CCR...

Slicks Predictions...
BOWIE -- Should win big...
TOSS UP -- Not sure about this one...
JD -- Joy Division should win solidly...
THE SMITHS -- Potential blowout...
TOSS UP -- Rod should win...
AL GREEN -- should win big...
TOSS UP -- I would think The Kinks win, just not sure...
CCR -- Should win big...

Like Orbison's voice, hate his songwriting.
#2 The Smiths
#12 Dexys Midnight Runners
I like Stewart but I don't like his voice and a few too many of the songs on his albums are covers.
#3 Al Green
#1 The Kinks
#2 CCR
Matchbox 20's got the nostalgia edge and that's it.

Re: UMT 3.11...

#1 David Bowie: Walkover!
#2 T. Rex: Walkover!
#5 Joy Division: Walkover!
#2 The Smiths: Walkover!
#12 Dexys Midnight Runners: I like some Rod Stewart songs, but it seems that the majority of his material at this point I'd rather avoid.
#3 Al Green: Tough, tough call. I went with Al because I at least sought out a compilation of his music. I need to learn more about both.
#1 The Kinks: Walkover!
#2 CCR: Walkover! How on Earth did Matchbox 20 even make it this far?!

Re: UMT 3.11...

Jackson Browne - Bowie is another artist I just don't get; Browne isn't one of my favorites, but I like more of his music than Bowie's
Gin Blossoms - guilty pleasure
Roy Orbison
The Black Crowes
Dexy's Midnight Runners - "Come On Eileen" is better than anything Stewart ever did
Kool & the Gang - sorry reverend
The Kinks - I feel ashamed as an Alabamian, for voting against Skynyrd, but their run has ended
CCR

Today's fav: CCR
Today's fav not voted for: Lynyrd Skynyrd
Favorite song: "Come On Eileen"

Re: UMT 3.11...

So many great artists this round, I hope the Kinks don't get edged out by a more-popular artist.

Let me be clear: Rod Stewart = through 1976

Another day of seven easy choices and one killer—in this case, between two artists I really like. I took Roy O. over Joy Division, but could easily have gone the other way.
