The only hard vote of the day for me.
Creedence Clearwater Revival
Not a huge fan of CCR, but I like a few of their songs. They seem very dated to me.
Neil Young
This would have been a way easier vote for me a year ago. I really like Bruce now, but I just like way more of Young's stuff.

Having to vote against Bruce Springsteen, The Smiths, Marvin Gaye, and The Replacements sucks. I'm really really getting into The Mats, but for me Beasties are just an institution.

Eagerly awaiting The Rolling Stones vs Radiohead clash of titans.

Neil Young - Very much a toss up... Just as hard a choice as the Simon/Young matchup last round. Liking Young's quieter work better right now, so he gets the edge.
Sonic Youth - Kinda tough, but I think I feel confident about this one.

Fave - Will be revealed next round when I have to choose between the Stones and Radiohead.

Lots of brackets where I don't have much feeling, neither bad nor good, for any artist involved.
I would have voted for the Replacements against 12 of the 15 other artists of today.
