ILM July Madness: Round of 32 - MIDWEST

Haulin Oates, Bobby, Beatles, Wu-Tang

Bush, Dylan, Beatles, Brown

flipped a coin for Bush vs. H&O, don't really care about either.

Hall and Oates, Bob Dylan, Madonna, Wu-Tang Clan

I went ahead and chose Madonna over the Beatles because I've been a fan since I was 10. I didn't even get into the Beatles until I was into my 20s.

Bush, Dylan, Beatles, Wu

Please don't make me choose between the beatles and the clan

Kate Bush, My Bloody Valentine, Madonna, Wu-Tang Clan

Kate Bush, My Bloody Valentine, The Beatles, James Brown

Bush, Dylan, Beatles, Brown, without hesitation.

Hall and Oates, Bob Dylan, The Beatles, James Brown

Why can't I put the Wu in over Dylan?

why can't i vote for Bob over James?

Kate Bush, MBV, Beatles, Wu-Tang

Kate Bush, My Bloody Valentine, Madonna, Wu-Tang Clan

(i don't actually like mbv but i don't actively hate them like i do dylan)

(anyone minded not to vote for madonna because of how she's not as good as she was and is a sorta embarrassing public figure these days should consider paul mccartney)

Wow, my answers are 3/4 the same as the Lex's, this is truly a strange day. Going JB rather than Wu-Tang though.

James Brown, James Brown, James Brown, James Brown

tom otm

Why can't I vote for Bob James?

Oh, wait...

I voted Bush, Dylan, Beatles, Wu-Tang. James Brown probably deserves it more than Wu-Tang, but I just love them so much.

Kate Bush, My Bloody Valentine, Madonna, Wu-Tang Clan

High fives all around! I thought I'd be the only one brazen enough to vote for this.

Kate Bush, My Bloody Valentine, The Beatles, Wu-Tang Clan

Wu-Tang vs. JB was really tough, the rest were easy

Same here ^

Bush, Dylan, Beatles, Brown, without hesitation.

The same for me, but I did hesitate over Kate Bush vs. Hall & Oates.

H&O (so close), dylan (not that close by volume), beatles (aside from like 5-6 early singles, shes more like meh-donna to me), wu-tang (tough tough tough one)

this was a buncha choices between stuff i'm not hugly into and were almost arbitrary choices, and then between two monoliths--i tried to vote against james brown but it brought pain to my heart and i could not.

dammit, I think I accidentally voted H&O, Dylan, Beatles, Wu-Tang and meant to vote for James Brown. But the last one was the close one for me so maybe my subconscious was doing the voting for me. I think I rate JB more highly in some objective sense but actually play WTC more.

Went for Bush, MBV, Madonna, Wu.

As with most other people it seems, I found the last decision to be far and away the hardest.

eephus, I can +1 James Brown and -1 WTC from the total if you'd like

Good idea.

As long as you are fixing stuff, I think I hit the wrong button and voted for hall and Oates 24 times so just go ahead and fix that when the results come in if you don't mind

The same for me, but I did hesitate over Kate Bush vs. Hall & Oates.

I wasn't sure which way I was going to go on those two either. It took me a while to understand the poll system and I was frantically scanning over it looking for a way to vote for both Kate Bush and Hall & Oates.

Kate, Dylan, Madonna, the Wu

Kate Bush, Bob Dylan, The Beatles, James Brown

I kinda regret voting Madge. I like the Beatles earlier stuff plenty, I just find Beatles pushers near unbearable.

LOVE early madonna but the beatles released more great music imo so it was a no brainer for me

Hall and Oates, Bob Dylan, Beatles, James Brown

(And only H&O-vs.-Kate was close, because I'm not a fan of either.)

Hall and Oates, My Bloody Valentine, The Beatles, Wu-Tang Clan

eephus, I can +1 James Brown and -1 WTC from the total if you'd like

no need, I'm truly not sure what I clicked and am happy to let fate decide

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

get yer votes in

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

my math sez:

Kate Bush 65 - Hall and Oates 31
Bob Dylan 52 - MBV 44
Beatles 69 - Madonna 27
James Brown 57 - WTC 39

Daryl & John, R.I.P.

only 5 people out of 96 picked both Hall and Oates and Madonna

WTC 7/13/10 never forget
