[Spike]

AAAAAARGH.

This one is tough for me.
I can't vote against Sabbath/Priest, but I can't vote against Queen(srÿche) VH and Weird Al. I'll have to come back to this one.

 

[GoGoGadget]

This one is similar to the Jespher/William Blake match up for me. I like enough of Capt. Factorial's list that I'll likely vote for him next round (if he moves on), but pdx was the easy choice this time. With X and The Stray Cats, he nabbed what would have been my #1 and #2 picks were I in this thing.




In other words, rockabilly solidarity.

 

[dukeswh]

Another matchup where my favorite is in the other list(Sabbath). Led Zep, Queen, Van Halen and B.B. sold me. Though Extreme is just blech.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

I voted for me. More people should have exquisite taste.

Extreme is blech? Don't judge them for More Than Words or Hole-Hearted...

 

[Warhawk]

Brick needs to learn how to spell Def Leppard.

I've gone woolly mammoth for winter, my greaser card has been revoked. I think I look like a dirty hippy but its getting a lot of compliments. Kind of scary. I can't wait to shave and get a hair cut. Hopefully right before an exotic February vacation.

 

[Prophetess]

Elvis, Clash, Bowie..

 

[William Blake]

Easy choice, pdx was number 1 on my rankings.

 

[SacKings7]

Motley Crue too (my list if you're looking for it)

 

[pdxKingsFan]

He spelled both of our number 1 picks incorrectly. Mine should be "Elvis Presley", with only one 's' and Cap's is spelled "Justin Bieber", man Brickie really wasn't even close with that one.

 

[NoBonus]

Easy choice, pdx was number 1 on my rankings.

Hard to argue with The Clash...

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Fortunately, everybody knew what I really meant so I'm not taking a hit for Brick's typo.

I stopped dressing the part long ago. Tragic Kingdom came out during my senior year in high school, and what had been a long standing 40s/rockabilly/hip-hop hybrid style that my old high school friends knew was just due to the fact I was an oddball, suddenly became an assumed Stefani emulation to the new friends I made in college the following year. After a lifetime of weird I was suddenly trendy and didn't like it one bit. By the time I saw the double cherries on everything in Hot Topic when shopping with my then tween sister several years later, I knew I'd never be going back.

 

[Henkel]

Come on people we got to have at least one upset.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

I think it is different for guys though. T-shirt, jeans and chucks don't exactly make a bold statement and if I decide to roll in Sambas nobody notices. Growing a full beard and not styling my hair is more a factor of bike commuting into December this year along with playing too many video games and being too lazy to give a care.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Come on people we got to have at least one upset.

I couldn't even win in the cars draft, I'm hopeless

 

[GoGoGadget]

**** that cars draft. Only one I ever actually wanted to win, only one I ever came close to doing so, and I still couldn't quite get the win.

I call shenanigans on that one.



Even if I did pick a Fiat with wicker seats...

 

[pdxKingsFan]

I thought I could at least win a round or two, I don't even think I lost to transformers, I lost to a 280z or something silly.

But apparently my traditionalist ways were the death of me since I took so much flack for suggesting that cars should always stick to their national factory race colors (or in layman's terms, Ferraris should always be red).

 

[pdxKingsFan]

ps I came home from band practice last night thinking damn life is good and now I'm back to my usual bitter self.

I'm still torqued that I did pretty well in both movie drafts (in fact, I think I was the only one to really challenge the eventual winner this year - went into OT after a tie) and still haven't won anything.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Come on people we got to have at least one upset.

No we don't! Not in this round! Wait for the 3-6 matchup for the upset!

 

[SacKings7]

I've done well in the music (and video game) drafts I've done. I actually won the Decades iPod draft and got a trophy for it and had it taken away like a week later because it was the last draft of that offseason haha

 

[Jespher]

I'm 0 for a lot as well, including several #1 seeds that turned into early exits. If only for that crazy NME and his bloody western!

 

[atxrocker]

i like both of these lists, close call.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

11 minutes for 7 folks of immaculate taste to fix this!

 

[Bricklayer]

Alright, we've got a bit of a holdup with the dukeswh/Dime Dropper tie, but I that will be resolved tommorow either through a top 5 vs. top 5 poll is dukes returns, or some other means if he does not. Either way, congrats Capt. Fact, you'll be moving on to the second round. And pdx, I'm going with the consolation round idea that should give everybody at least three matchups before we wrap this up, so you'll have another chance to dig up enough peeps of immaculate taste.
