Mariah vs U2 feels like it should be the final
astonished Cher scored so low, I thought Cher was good wasn’t she?
Surprisingly easy to vote in this round, even if I’m internally screaming.

I always remember Matt Bellamy saying he could understand why people would like Coldplay and hate Muse. I might be making that up, but that battle is the epitome of NME circa 2001. Guess we’ll finally see for sure.
Muse vs Coldplay is the difficult one. I just about prefer Coldplay but I really don’t want them to win the whole thing. Can I vote for Muse twice in a row?
Best album left: Silent Alarm
Best run of good albums: Biffy
Most deserving of title for being amazing but also still a bit shit: BLINK
I don’t want Coldplay to win, but I really don’t want Muse to win. Which means we all have to band together next round to make sure whoever wins that pool goes no further.
Killers Vs G’n’R is a real stinker. I went G’n’R on the strength of their Live And Let Die cover, but I was really scraping around to think I’d enjoyed about either act.
There’s a few groups there I just couldn’t bit in and live with myself.
I’m the flip of this, I don’t want Muse to win but I really don’t want Coldplay to win. Either way, the remaining one needs to go out in the next round.
Blink vs. Spice Girls
why have you done this to humankind
I was having this dilemma. Coldplay are probably “better” than Muse but I hate them more, and I do actually hate them, well not real hate, um yes it is. They have better songs but… I hate them.
Again
Killers v Guns ‘n’ Roses is tough went for Guns ‘n’ Roses can’t stand Killers fans calling themselves victims heavy, heavy cringe.
A pick for each group
Queen
Coldplay
Blink 182
U2
My Chemical Romance
Not sure, but he likes the Pumpkins and Justin Timberlake is awful
Bloc Party
Guns n Roses
Foo Fighters
That was tough, with the exception of Blink 182/The Spice Girls (as I remain, as I have from the beginning backing Blink).
Muse/Coldplay was the most difficult as i’ve mentioned because I really don’t want either of these to go through. Otherwise there’s no one i’m hugely adverse to going through…though I do dislike GNR quite alot (so I voted The Killers who I feel indifferent about).
Some of these are really tough. Might spoil my ballot in the Coldplay - Muse battle and write in JJ72 instead.
