Weezer vs. Boston-Day 3

Muse was no match for rock great Rage Against the Machine in our 2nd round, with Rage taking 2/3 (6-2) of the vote. Next round we have classic rock legend Boston going up against alt-rockers Weezer. While Boston was one of the definite rock bands of the 70s and 80s, Weezer hails from the grunge days of the 90s, while they have changed their style in recent years. It's a classic matchup of old vs. new, so who will prevail? Check out their stuff below-

Rage Against the Machine vs. Muse-Day 2

Well Queens of the Stone Age just took a beating from legend Metallica which a vote of 7-1. Let's see if another rock legend, Rage Against the Machine, can hold up against newcomer Muse. The guitar solos of Tom Morello make the band who they are, along with Zack de la Rocha's anti-political lyrics. If Muse has anything to prove in this competition, it'll have to be through this first match-up. Sample some of their stuff below-
