    I was a big fan of the first 2 Oasis albums when they came out, but after that there was only a decent single every now and then. Nothing to sustain my interest. Plus, Liam can't sing for shit live.

    First round is an easy first pick for me (and several others it appears). 
    Sorry to not see Joy Division on the list though.
    The Kinks
    Sex Pistols
    Spice Girls

    When I posted that Pearl Jam should come out to the Oasis intro song "Fuckin' in the bushes" when playing Manchester, the thread was locked and I got warned for being a troll by a moderator. Never got an explanation about what would be trolling about that opinion. 

    It's the most hyped up intro song for a live act of all time. Of all time. I stand by that Pearl Jam should come out to it when playing Manchester. Radiohead aint got a hyped out intro like this:

    I just want to say that it was nice being on friendly terms with you guys.
    No hard feelings here! There isn’t a musical act that ever existed at any time that everybody liked. 
    Thank you! That is just what I needed to hear.  :)

    I love Oasis too but in the end I vote for the Beatles to win this and I don't even listen to them...

    That is Oasis' thing though.  I wouldn't expect Oasis to walk into Master/Slave

    How shocking would it be for The Stones to be eliminated during the first round?👀

    Definitely surprising. The prolific four album run between Beggars Banquet and Exile on Main Street changed popular music.

    Even if Radiohead gets knocked out early, it won't change the fact that they are easily one of my all time favorite bands. I'd listen to them over just about anyone else.
    I LOVE MUSIC.

    If the stones get bounced in round one it would be a travesty.  Of all the polls, this might be the toughest one.  4-5 of these bands are on my favorite bands of all time list and the ones that aren't I really, really like.  Good poll.  Tough.

    unless the stones get 2 more votes oasis and radiohead get the axe.

    I've never flagged a post for the mods to take action, but seeing votes for The Stones or The Clash this early on has me rethinking my position on flagging.

    Thank you for the candid answers. I was just curious, because it would be interesting to know who would reign supreme in a world without the Stones & Beatles. Even if the final ends up being Beatles vs. Stones, we can consider the third place band as the answer, I suppose.

    While I might have argued for those bands in the past, for whatever reason seeing this poll has me thinking LZ, Floyd, and Sabbath are preferred.
    Yes, I can always listen to Stones and Beatles.  Always enjoy.  However, right now I wanna rock!

    Popular stones is ok. Their magic is in the lesser known trax. Imho. Zep bores me lately.

    The Clash I could argue as #3.  They opened up the doors to a whole new swath of music.

    I'm trying to accept that The Clash will most likely be voted out next round. This poll is brutal.

    this could easily have been a series based on era
