We did this last year around this time and I think it met with a reasonable amount of interest, so I'll give it another shot. Simple "rules": every couple of days I'll post 2 bands/artists to go head to head against each other in a poll format. Vote for your FAVORITE of the two. Every few days a new battle will be posted and winners of prior matches will be declared. Basic bracket style format; there will be 16 bands total (8 battles) in the first round, then the 8 winners will go against each other in the second round, and so on, until one band is crowned as favorite.

Last year Talking Heads were Raverecs favorite band, besting the following bands (Yes, Jethro Tull, DMB, Flaming Lips, White Stripes, Wilco, Radiohead, Yo La Tengo, Fleetwood Mac, Bob Marley, Bob Dylan, AC/DC, Cream, Bjork & Prince). This year 16 different bands will be competing from various genres and decades. If you don't enjoy this kind of thing, all posts will have the words "MARCH MUSIC MADNESS" in the subject field, so you can easily avoid the thread. I'll probably post the first battle tomorrow, have fun!
