ROUND 1 BRACKET 1 (Land of the Past)

Okay here's how the voting goes. Since the polls can easily be manipulated this is the voting system we will use:

If you post your vote with a nation of 75 posts or more, that vote counts as two. The poll votes count as 1. Technically your vote can be counted as three votes, if you vote both in the poll and post what you voted for.

However, even with this system in place this entire poll can be easily manipulated. So I ask you, please don't... Let's not cheat shall we?

Also, I'd like arguements from both sides on why that particular band (in this case, either The Clash or Led Zeppelin) should win. So please feel free to post long paragraphs regarding the merits of either The Clash or Led Zeppelin.

The poll will run for exactly 1 day.
After the poll closes. Posted votes will not count.

GET TO IT!!!

Dude, I thought that it would be like 10 bands in the final voting round. I havn't really heard Led or Clash. So I won't vote.

The clash should win because I like them better than zeppelin.

The Clash.

Zep



is this the final round or will we have other topics with the other bands? or did I miss a round?

We will take it two at a time... It's only round one by the way...
Oh crap... Poll difficulties...

The poll is shagged but the Clash are definitely better.

The Clash is good but you just can't compare them to Led Zeppelin, their in a league of their own.

Rubbush! The Clash are infinitely more musical and take elements from a wide range of musical genres. Led Zeppelin are fine if you're a pubescent boy but otherwise their teenage obsessions are boring in the extreme. Vote Clash!

hard choice.....errrrrr....ZEPPELIN!!

Uh...no offense but your brackets are kinda messed up.

The Clash and Led Zeppelin are two completely different types of music, The Clash is punk and Zep is Rock. Their both great in their own fields but they shouldn't be compared. Led Zeppelin vs. Jimi Hendrix would be a much better match.

Pink Floyd vs. The Beatles? What!? The Beatles are one of the most popular bands of all time, you can't compare them to Floyd. How 'bout The Beatles vs. The Rolling Stones.

Jimi Hendrix vs. The Doors won't work either. Jimi pretty much puts them to shame. How bout The Eagles vs. The Doors?

You might want to fix your brackets man.

Your joking right.

Stairway to Heaven is considered by many to be the greatest rock song of all time. The Clash can't beat that. Black Dog, Kashmire, Going to California, Led Zeppelin is far better.

Um... I didn't just deiced which bands got up there... There was a big thread titled Battle of the Bands... Two nominations were required for the band to appear up there. And given the diverse bunch of bands on there... making brackets is not as easy as it would appear.

I had to compromise some things, so I had to organize them as best I could...
So give me a break man.

Zeppelin all the way, they are so much deeper then The Clash, i mean "Should I Stay or should I Go?" that is a pretty deep song. Much deeper then "Achilles Last Stand"

i vote Zeppelin

Tough one. Two highly influential bands. The early Zeppelin albums are some of the best rock out there. I give the nod to The Clash though. Their early stuff is unbelievable.

THE CLASH!

THE CLASH!


YES IT'S THE CLASH.

Thats really tough. I am a huge fan of both Led Zep and the Clash. Wailing guitars or reggae infused punk..... I cant make a choice so no vote from me.

Zep plays rock, folk music, and blues. Don't even say they aren't varied. That said, the Clash are also very good.

Hmm... Two highly overrated dull and boring loads of old toss.

Led Zep wrote songs which dragged on interminably, while The Clash were a pop band which everyone confused with punk...

I'm going with Led Zep, because Dark Angel covered The Immigrant Song and improved in immeasurably.

How could you say that about Led?

Monster.

It saddens me to even decide between the two but in the end i choose Led Zepplin.

London Calling was a good album, but You cant compare to them to Zep.
Zep was one of the best bands ever..the Clash...just arent in thier league.

Approx. 12 hours remaining... It looks like Led Zeppelin is gonna win this one...

Led Zeppelin is easily the most overrated band there is...so I vote for the Clash.

Pink Floyd vs. The Beatles? What!? The Beatles are one of the most popular bands of all time, you can't compare them to Floyd. How 'bout The Beatles vs. The Rolling Stones.

Actually this is the only accurate one Ive seen.
The Beatles are considered to be the best band ever..but many say that Pink Floyd is right behind them and the Stones.

Remember that the Beatles have one album in the top 10 selling albums of all time....Abbey Road.

Floyd have two.

Dark Side of the Moon.

The Wall.

The Clash are awesome...but Led Zeppelin all the way on this one.

The Clash were a pop band which everyone confused with punk...

Their later stuff was admittedly, but you have to hear some of their earlier songs.

1977, London's Burning, and English Civil War are good examples.

Although by posted votes The Clash and Zeppelin tie. In conjuction with the poll, Led Zeppelin pulls off a comfortable victory.
