The best year in rock?

1982

And the WINNER IS!

Ending Wednesday......uh missed that date

I guess we didn't say which Wednesday. As of now Rush is leading by 1 vote! This will wrap up tonight (9/26) at 09:00 PM CST. No matter what, so spam your friends, stuff the ballot box, and vote under all your multiple personalities because tonight Bruce Dickinson or Rush will stand alone forever as THE GREATEST OF THE GREATEST!

Future generations will look back on this battle and re-tell it with great fanfare and ceremony. Holidays will be celebrated noting the beginning and end and cults will form worshiping the winner....wait that's already happened.

TONIGHT PEOPLE!

The Final Final

This is it. The very last championship round. One last Rush vs Iron Maiden battle this time to the death....well that's overdoing it...maybe not death but a watery eye or stubbed toe.

Since this site will be fading into the sunset we will let this championship round go for until Wednesday to give fans a couple extra days to get the word out and stuff the ballot box.

Family against family

The two semi-finals pit fans against themselves. If you're an Iron Maiden fan do you vote for a founding member who has played on every album and every tour or do you vote for the voice of some of the best heavy metal songs of all time. If you're a Rush fan do you vote for one of the best bassists and frontman of your favorite band or do you vote for the band a whole as a group entertainers.

We predict Bruce and Rush to meet in the finals although Bruce vs Geddy would probably be a lot of fun to see.

Round 2 is up

Robin Williams and The Simpson's TV show stand out like sore thumbs in what should be the biggest and weirdest RUSH vs Iron Maiden contest yet. The Simpson's had a very strong showing beating out Iron Maiden drummer Nicko McBrain but we don't see that happening against Bruce Dickinson. On the Rush half of the tournament we so Robin Williams getting trounced against Rush as a "Live Act".

Based on first round voting Vegas is predicting at Powerslave (Greatest Album Cover) against Rush (Greatest Live Act) in the finals.

Voting will be short and will end Wednesday evening so get the word out!

To quote Snagglepuss...

Exit Stage Left - is our winner for Greatest Live album of all time! Rush continues their impressive winning streak and gains another entry in the grand finale.

The Greatest of the Greatest will now be decided in one big mashup. Nicko McBrain vs The Simpsons and 2112 vs Batman and a whole lot of others that make absolutely no sense but should be fun. We did have an odd number of entries so we're giving Robin Williams a bye simply because we forgot about him and uncovered that tournament after the bracket was set.

The bracket follows (roughly) the chronological order of the tournaments. You can see how earlier in the year Iron Maiden dominated every musical entry and lead with number of entries - 4. If you're wondering Rush has three entries, which seems fitting.

The voting time frames will stay the same - Mon, Wed, Fri ending roughly 8:00 PM

CST.
