Best American Artist Tournament: Round 1, Day 4

Post by Listyguy »

As we begin Day 4 of the tournament, we have hit the midway point of the first round in the hunt to find the true American legend. In my opinion, that legend is one of the 8 up for voting today…:whistle:

For each of the four match ups listed below, pick the artist you prefer. This poll will close at 12 forum time tomorrow (8 pm EDT).

Here are today’s matches:

12. Miles Davis (Illinois)
53. Bill Withers (West Virginia)

21. Beastie Boys (New York)
44. Scott Walker (Ohio)

28. Madonna (Michigan)
37. Nine Inch Nails (Pennsylvania)

5. Jimi Hendrix (Washington)
60. Bette Midler (Hawaii)

I just wanted to be one of those ghosts
You thought that you could forget
And then I haunt you via the rear view mirror
On a long drive from the back seat...

53. Bill Withers (West Virginia)
Miles never really did it for me, at least not compared to Withers.

21. Beastie Boys (New York)
44. Scott Walker (Ohio)
Tough, but I'm going with Scott since he's more eclectic.

28. Madonna (Michigan)
37. Nine Inch Nails (Pennsylvania)
Queen of Pop in a landslide.

5. Jimi Hendrix (Washington)
60. Bette Midler (Hawaii)
I don't like guitars very much.

Wow, I could see lots of reasons to enjoy Scott Walker more, but calling someone more eclectic than the Beastie Boys is inconceivable to me.

How much Scott Walker have you listened to? The difference between his music in the 60s to his music today is VAST.

Beasties are eclectic, but in a very different way...

Miles Davis
Beastie Boys

None of these three are runaways, but none were particularly difficult to make either.
Jimi Hendrix
I'm floored that Bette Midler has two votes.
