The championship matchup is here! It’s time to cast your vote to see who becomes the OOTB Greatest Rock Band. I’ll give a brief summary of the matchup and my pick in a spoiler warning. You have until midnight on Wednesday to place your vote. Here we go.
1 Led Zeppelin vs 1 Beatles
Zeppelin didn’t struggle much on their way here. They took down the Allman Brothers, Soundgarden, Nirvana, the Rolling Stones and Metallica by an average of 8 votes per round. The Beatles beat out Dave Matthews Band, CCR, Pink Floyd, Tom Petty and David Bowie to make it to the final matchup. This might be the first time they’ve been matched up here, but Zeppelin has beaten the Beatles before. In 1973 Zeppelin sold 56,800 tickets to one of their shows, which broke the record of 55,000 tickets sold by the Beatles in 1965. Can Zeppelin repeat or will the Beatles take back their crown?

Both of these bands are deserving of the championship. I probably enjoy Zeppelin’s music more, but the Beatles have had such an outsized influence on music that I just can’t ignore. My vote goes to the Beatles.
