Re: UMT2: 3rd round / #1

#4 Sam Cooke: No surprise here.
#2 Johnny Cash: I don't really like either, but Johnny Cash was more involved in the creation of his music.
#1 The Velvet Underground: I wish The Temptations could have been in the previous matchup.
#3 Van Morrison: Strictly an anti-Who vote.
#4 Otis Redding: Real soul vs. fake everything.
#3 Simon & Garfunkel: A pretty meh matchup.
#1 David Bowie: I wish Miles Davis had been in the previous matchup.

Re: UMT2: 3rd round / #1

THE BEATLES. The right to vote carries with it a responsibility to vote in good faith. Yeah, it wouldn’t be a headline for the Beatles to win this thing, but backlash just for the sake of it is pretty silly. I yield to none in admiring Sam Cooke, but let’s be real.

JOHNNY CASH. Both Johnny and Aretha aged pretty gracefully, I think.

THE VELVET UNDERGROUND. If I listed my top 50 post-1969 artists, I bet 45 or more of them could trace some aspect of their influence back to VU. Love the Temps, though.

THE WHO. Today’s only unequivocally easy choice.

OTIS REDDING. I’ve voted for Led Zeppelin in each of the last two rounds, even though I don’t, y’know, really like them much. Why? Because I know they deserved it. (This accounts for why the knee-jerk anti-Beatles thing is kind of a burr under my saddle.) However, this is where I stop with Plant and Page. Otis really is all that.

SIMON & GARFUNKEL. I don’t really think they’re a round-four level act, but they’re the pick for me here.

DAVID BOWIE. We don’t have a bigger matchup of titans in this round, and yes, I checked. Probably the closest is Dylan vs. Sinatra. Miles deserves to go much farther, but it’s a tough tournament.

NEIL YOUNG. I’ve warmed up to Floyd (thank you, Thom Yorke) but have to give this to Neil.

Re: UMT2: 3rd round / #1

32 voters so far, not one person has passed on a matchup yet. 1st time that has ever happened.

Re: UMT2: 3rd round / #1

#1 The Beatles (First competition they've had)
#3 Aretha Franklin (Close matchup)
#1 The Velvet Underground
#2 The Who
#1 Led Zeppelin (If Redding hadn't died way to young, he may well have built a body of work that would have won this matchup)
#2 Bob Marley (It would be tight if you also counted Paul Simon's solo output)
#1 David Bowie
#2 Neil Young (2.5 good-great albums can't beat Neil's catalog)

Mark me down for S&G, even though I have been vocally against both artists in that matchup, I at least enjoy a few S&G songs.
