    I'd say Tom Petty and Ramones are pretty equal

    Wow. They aren't even close, in my opinion.

    Comparing Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers with the Ramones is like comparing the Brooklyn Bridge with the Eiffel Tower- both great in their own right for differing reasons.

    I love both bands for different reasons.  They had different styles and different strengths.  I don't think it's a stretch at all to suggest they both had about the same amount of influence on rock, but in very different ways.  I'm just surprised at how underappreciated they are here.  It's puzzling to me.

    I really like the Ramones, but not as much as Petty. That being said, you're right about them both having a tremendous influence on rock. I honestly voted too fast...I would have dropped AIC instead of The Ramones.

    Oh, I know. I like AIC a lot, but not as much as the Ramones.

    These polls are tough!

    Lars gets plenty of criticism for his live performances, if I'm not mistaken.

    Over here I just hear people scream LASSE! LASSE! LASSE! whenever he comes close to the front of the stage.

    I think with these few left and such an important competition. Just one band should be removed each round. And let's see where the Ramones haters fall over to in the next round.

    I have actually thought about doing that, except I was going to wait to the final four and just remove one each round.

    Do it now. Build suspense. 

    BE A BIT MORE HITCHOCK IN YOUR LIFE.

    It is not certain that all Ramones people go to metallica next round for example. Interesting to see if shifts occur.

    The old overlord?

    I love these votes.  We have some staggered because I vote REM and some people think Brian Johnson sucks.  Some people most value bands from 60 years ago more than anything people under the age of 70 heard as it came out, some value a decade's contributions most.

    Always interesting....but the funny comments made back and forth about the votes are what makes them so funny.

    If only Stefan were still around to vent when his favrite banned was voted of.
