#6 (330) Carl Perkins
A small aside. Isn't it funny that *every pop star in the world today* gets a pass for the exact same thing that ended Milli Vanilli's career?
#2 (74) Elvis Costello

Re: ULTIMATE Music Tournament:Bracket #54

#1 Foo Fighters - ok, they're a pretty good band, but they're not one of the top 60 artists of all time
#9 ABC - ABC is very underrated, IMO. "The Look of Love" is a great song
#12 Terrence Trent D'Arby
pass - (probably would vote for Glen Frey, but since I'm one of those ignorant Yanks who doesn't know about Stereophonics, I'll pass to be fair)
#3 OMD - "Inside Out" was a pretty good song...not enough to vote for Eve 6 though
#11 Milli Vanilli - hey, just because they lip-synced doesn't mean the songs weren't catchy...
#10 Grandmaster Flash
#15 Debbie Gibson - my 80s bias is showing...and at least she wrote her own material. For you youngsters, Debbie Gibson was the Britney Spears of the 80s, minus the dancing, but plus cheesy hats
