The elite 8 is here! It’s time to cast your vote to see who gets to the finial 4 and who goes on their farewell tour in the John Lennon and Chester Bennington regions. I’ll give a brief summary of the matchups and my picks in a spoiler warning. You have until midnight on Wednesday to place your vote. Here we go.
John Lennon
1 Beatles vs 2 Tom Petty
This is a true heavyweight matchup with almost 900 million albums sold between the two. Even though they were from different generations George Harrison of the Beatles and Petty were close friends until George’s death.
Chester Bennington
1 David Bowie vs 6 Genesis
Two of the biggest names of their era. Both of them crossed paths at the beginning of their career at the Atomic Sunrise Festival in England. Bowie had just hired Mick Ronson as his new guitarist and Genesis had yet to acquire Phil Collins on the drums.
John Lennon
1 Beatles vs 2 Tom Petty

Going with the Beatles for this one. Their influence is too big to keep them out of the final four.
Chester Bennington
1 David Bowie vs 6 Genesis

This one just comes down to a personal preference for me. Genesis gets my vote.
