BRUCE -- THE BOSS rolls on...
PE -- J&M Chain would be my 4th best pick in this bracket, problem is PE would be in top 3...
CROW -- Toss up...
LL COOL J -- Not voting for his role as a Federal Agent on NCIS Los Angeles...

KISS -- Cheesy, yes. But...

Self titled album is underrated, and everything she does is at least listenable.

Re: UMT: 2.23

Bruce Springsteen vs. The Dead Kennedys
Not much competition here, Springsteen wins in a landslide.

Jesus & Mary Chain vs. Public Enemy
I initially was going to pass on these two acts because I can't say that I care very much for either. But, I prefer Jesus & Mary Chain a bit over Public Enemy (most likely because for the most part I don't care rap.)

Sheryl Crow vs. Rick James
Sheryl Crow wins for me, but not with an abundance of enthusiasm.


Shakira vs. LL Cool J
Pass - neither one of these acts works particularly well for me; and in my view they have less stature than Jesus & Mary Chain or Public Enemy.

Neil Young vs. Yaz (oo)
Easy pick of Neil Young here.

Audioslave vs. The Commodores
Commodores win in a don't really care duo.

Paul Simon vs. George Thorogood
While I very much enjoy Thorogood, there is no way that he beats Simon here.

Howard Jones vs. Kiss
Neither are may favorites, but I prefer Jones.

MY FAVORITE ARTIST TODAY
Public Enemy

Re: UMT: 2.23

Bruce Springsteen - Kinda like Fresh Fruit..., but it's no contest
Public Enemy - Not a big J&MC fan, although I get their appeal... but once again it's no contest.
Rick James - Crow is a fine pop songwriter, it's somewhat impressive that she has written so many hits. But I'm not a huge fan of her voice. Superfreak goes through on my ballot along with his former bandmate, Neil Young.
LL Cool J - The hits listed for Shakira only include her work since she began recording in English. Am I wrong that she had some fairly big Spanish-language hits in the 1990's? I actually enjoy her voice, but LL Cool J is more essential to me.
Neil Young
The Commodores
Paul Simon
Howard Jones - I absolutely hate Kiss, and I will always vote for anyone they are up against, Jones was a great pop purveyor, and I'm happy to vote for him.

Favorite this round - Wow, there are 4 giants in this bracket. I will have to think about this some more when they wind up meeting in the next few rounds.

Favorite not voted for - I guess the Dead Kennedys.
