[Mr. Dashbee]

Dead’s Birth of the Cool - James Brown (vocals), Jack White (guitar), John Paul Jones (bass), Questlove (drums), Miles Davis (utility 1 - trumpet), Buddy Guy (utility 2 - guitar)

vs.

Gator's The Black Solids - Johnny Cash (vocals), Brian Setzer (guitar), BB King (utility 1 - guitar), Bootsy Collins (bass), Ray Charles (utility 2 – piano, vocals), Max Weinberg (drums)

Please keep in mind that set-lists were optional. Please vote based on the artists drafted!

[DevSop]

Not a fan of Gator's band at all.

[creepy]

Gator's band sounds like something I have after a night of Guinness and bacon. But I'm voting for him here.

The Black Solids

[The Canadian Content]

White, Brown, and JPJ get my vote easily. Adding jazz and blues to the mix was a great idea.

[Tommy]

Too much Star Power from Gator. Cash, Setzer AND BB King AND Bootsy Collins and, oh yeah, Ray Charles and Max Weinberg.

What?

Combine that with "Jack White is Overrated" and you've got a vote for Gator.

Thanks.

Both of these bands are really good. Two of my favorite frontmen ever. Tough call.

I'll come back to it. Maybe.

[Deleted]

Yeah, how is this only having 11 total votes so far when other ones have 17?

[Deadly]

Yeah, I like both of these bands. Bootsy almost got drafted by me. Nice lineup Gator.

[Deleted]

For those of you on the fence: one group has a wizard, and the other does not.

Undecideds, like me. Tough one.

[BC]

Gator's Man in Black puts him over the top.

Gator

[Deadly]

Wow, I thought I'd drafted a band that would have made it out of one round. Now I'm gonna need a little help...

[Batman]

You did, against most bands. That's the chance you take when seeding is purely random.

I'll give you a vote though, the vote should reflect how well matched these two bands are.

[Deleted]

I'll be the first to admit I hated my chances when I saw who I was facing this round. Dead, you would probably get my pick over most of the other bands so far.

But on the other hand, you don't like Star Trek. So fuck you.

[Habs]

Dead's, but gator has a very solid band also. But Miles Davis alone would win this thing fro me.

[Deadly]

Wow, close as hell. Who broke the tie?

Nice match, Gator. I would have really liked to have seen both bands advance.

[Deleted]

As would I.

I'm kicking ass in the first round of the Gator Draft, though. I think 7 of my 9 bands will be moving on to Round 2.
