Dylan
Ouch, voting against the Boss was terrible. Of course, Springsteen was called the next Dylan, so I guess this could be one of those "Teacher vs. Student" matches.
R.E.M.
This one wasn't that close.
The Rolling Stones
Despite knocking out Jimi, I have to give this one to the Stones.
Led Zeppelin
There are only three artists that would beat the Beatles (for me, anyway): Queen, Jimi Hendrix, and Led Zeppelin.

Great final 8, but thoroughly unsurprising one. One suggestion for the next time you do UMT, maybe have a 'premier bracket' and an 'everything else' bracket.

Nobody here I don't think is great, I just really don't want an exact repeat of the previous final, though I think that's probably going to happen.

Bob Dylan (#1 vs #2)
Prince (#19 vs. #25)
Bowie (#6 vs. #7)
The Beatles (#5 vs #41 (though that 41 is only due to lack of knowledge of their other albums - LZIV is imo better than any Beatles album))

&%$&!!! Evan's vote put The Beatles up by 1... Hopefully we get another 2 Zeppelin votes to close things out or The Beatles will no longer be included in any other tournaments. Right now the are (+7) on AM and (-6) for non-AMers.

At the moment Dylan/Springsteen is seperated by 2 votes with one for Yuck!!!
