We have now narrowed the field down to 4 great American bands. From these we will decide who the GREATEST AMERICAN BAND is.

From this point forward only ONE band will be eliminated each round. So use your vote wisely.

You are going to pick the band that you think is the "Weakest Link" after 2 days I remove the band (1) with the most votes. We will then move on to Round 4.

    SG is my fave of the 4, but I understand the influence of the other 3. 
    Your boos mean nothing to me, for I have seen what makes you cheer

    Of these remaining bands, it has to be Petty. There are 2 bands you can put on at a gathering that everyone in attendance will appreciate, no matter their age, race, or favorite style of music. Not saying that these are people's favorites, but that no one will complain about what is playing.

    Those two artists are Tom Petty and John Mellencamp.

    Slightly biased tribe sounds half-assed, let's stick with strangest tribe.

    Some random questions that pop into my mind here:
    Where is the Jimi Hendrix Experience in all these polls? 
    How is it that Soundgarden is in the running for greatest American band here and Neil Young and Crazy Horse, The Replacements and Husker Du are nowhere in sight?
    Was Pearl Jam ever a consideration?

    Wow the Seattle bias is strong in this round. REM and Metallica both losing to Soundgarden?  Come on.
