I don't think it really affects anything, but shouldn't the matchups be Beatles vs Michael Jackson and Hendrix vs Chicago?

If the acts had held serve it would have been Foreigner (64) vs. The Beatles, but Chicago knocked Foreigner off in round 2. Same with Jackson, he knocked off #57 Yes in round 2, which would have been Hendrix' matchup if serve was held.

Well then the round 2 matchups were messed up too. Should have been 64 vs 65 and 57 vs 72, with 1-128 getting 64-65 and 8-121 facing 57-72

Chuck Berry is known as The Godfather of Rock and Roll.
Im thinking that someone who has that title shouldnt be anywhere near Rush in votes.

This bracket has several bands I really dislike.

Yeah, I know some were off earlier, should be back on track now. Shouldn't really impact the end results though.

That is a very brutal matchup. You could argue that Rush is held in similar reverence in Canada I suppose, though you could argue the same for The Tragically Hip and Neil Young.

I don't hate them, but as a Jersey boy, I had to vote for both Bon Jovi and The Boss.

Best thing about this round is that at least we'll be rid of either Lennon or Dylan.
