Battle of the Bands QFs (Led Zeppelin vs. Beatles)

We begin the quarterfinals...

In The Land of the Past Bracket, The Beatles go uip against Led Zeppelin.


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, Beatles or Led Zeppelin) should win. So please feel free to post long paragraphs regarding the merits of either Beatles or LZ.

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

GET TO IT!!!

I'm going to have to give the Beatles my spoken vote and Led Zeppelin my cast vote, because they're both just too good.

So that's 1 for LZ through the poll and 2 for the Beatles through this post.

Zeppelin just because I hate hippies more than anything and The Beatles are stupid god dam hippies. God John Lennon and his "Love,Peace,and Fun" I would slit his throat.

I'm going to follow Our Earth, except the other way around. The Beatles get my cast vote and Zep gets my spoken vote...too hard a decision to alienate one of them totally.

I don't like the Beatles(I can stand some of their songs) but I hate Led Zepplin, therefore the lesser of two evils is the Beatles.

they are both negro worshipping degenerators of the youth, and tools of zog. and probably the two most overplayed and over rated bands ever to have existed. zepplin may well be slightly less annoyingly diefied... what am i saying i can possibly decide which one sucks less ass.

You're both going to hell.


The Beatles are a fantastic band, but Led Zeppelin is just... better! So I'm going to do what Kanabia did and cast a vote for the Fab Four and speak a vote for Zeppelin.

I am just shockingly torn right here.

The Beatles are my all time favorite band. I do not even pretend to deny this. I believe they are the epitome of quality music. However, Zeppelin has Stairway.

I might like the Bealtes better over all, but Stairway to Heaven is like the Empire State Building, it just stands as a pillar above everything.

I abstain from voting, since you have chosen to pit my heart against my mind.

The Beatles are more influential the Led, but Led is just so good.

Um, no.

One for the Beatles, good sir. There was a story on the news tonight about how they played in New Zealand 40 years ago. Their wole show in Dunedin lasted 23 minutes. Led Zep have songs longer than that (even if they're not, they're so damn boring they feel like they are...)

It's a tough call. But my vote goes to the Beatles.

It's too bad these two had to go up against one another so early on.

Beatles. Best band ever. No contest.

Zepp's would have had my vote against just about anyone else. A shame.

Definitely Led Zeppelin. There's just no way I can vote otherwise. The winner of this quartefinal will win the whole bracket.

Zeppelin seemed to lack in creativity. I'm going with the Beatles. They didn't base any songs on Tolkien.

I love listening to Zep but... the Beatles are the greatest band ever, period. No other band can claim they are bigger then Jesus, and that's all it comes down to.

I love both bands, I grew up with my dad playing both to me. I will have to go with the Beatles though.

Led Zepplin will crush the Beatles in any event. Just because the Beatles are more known throughout the world does not make them a better band as one sound. The are too 50s-ish and don't make a rock solid sound. Led, on the other hand, puts his word out and stands by it.... I mean, what kind of rock solid band asks for "help"..??
