After this tournament is over, can we do a “Just the voice” bracket @YellowSnow? Lead singers going head to head would be the tits.

Also, this vote was really hard.

Just rock vocals or all genres?

All genres if you want to do a 64, even then it might be tuff. Could just do a sweet 16 or some shit if needed.

I’d put a Final Four of Frankie Valli, Jacko, Whitney, and Adele up against anybody
 
I don't care about influence. Yes, Nirvana hit it big and saved the world from a decade-long run of Kris Kross. I still would not listen to one song of theirs over Soundgarden. I don't care if you're the original when someone else comes along and does shit (that sounds) a hundred times better than you.
 
Soundgarden surges into the lead. My faith in this shithole is being slowly restored.
 
Nirvana blew it's head off, took itself less seriously, and turned into the Foo fighters.
 
Nirvana is one of the most important bands in the history of rock. Soundgarden is a really solid band.

Saying Nirvana is overhyped is weird. It’s like saying the Beatles are overhyped. They were truly great for a moment.

Soundgarden was making heavy music because they thought it was kind of funny, stupid and fun. Later they basically started to veer stylistically into Nirv territory.

I’m saying this as a person who knows, likes and respects people in Soundgarden. Everyone in that band knows Nirvana is better and more culturally important.

Alice In Chains is a joke.

For my tastes I put Nirvana above Soundgarden, and I am also going to consider Foo Fighters when voting Nirvana.
 
Sorry but Soundgarden outside of the PNW and a certain age group has about zero recognition. Not saying they aren't a great band so don't twist but Nirvana has more staying power despite being dead for like 25 years.

This is all true.
 
Poles are now closed. This one ended in a tie of 23-23. As your co- President Pro Tempores of the BOTB, @Tequilla and I cast the tie breaking vote in favor or Nirvana.
 
This is the biggest bunch of horseshit I've ever seen.
