    How is this even a question.

    Elton John should be up against Stephen Bishop in round one of 'soft rock from the 70s' 1 vs 16 seed.

    Shit Pole. Shit Poaster. Pollster
    DDY is right, you know.

    Sabbath is inarguably the much cooler band with kick ass music, but if people are considering importance to music I think you could make an argument for Elton John here.

    Absolutely. Record sales are no event close. 300 million for Elton vs 70 million for Sabbath.

    Yeap, unquestionably Elton is the bigger influence on music but no fucking way are you getting me to vote for him over Black Sabbath.

    I'm not saying Sabbath wasn't influential in their own right. Don't twist.

    Fucking whoa! Number of albums sold has shit to do with influence on music. A guy playing a piano and singing great songs was nothing new. Hell Liberace already did that AND sucked dick, so Elton was no trendsetter. I love me some super ghey Elton, but come on man, Black Sabbath invented metal. Jesus. Fuck. Imbeciles.

    Don't twist my use of that stat. Who did I seed higher? I know you're smarter than me and stuff.

    Let's be clear, I love metal, I love Sabbath, and I'm not that into what Elton was slinging but purely based on name recognition alone Elton does win. If you polled artists that came after him there's probably going to be a ton more that site Elton than site Sabbath even though there will be a very vocal minority that site Sabbath as a HUGE influence rather than one of many. Now, if you want to go into the fact that Sabbath inspired a lot of other bands that became huge in their own right and therefore wins those bonus points, then yeah you can make an argument for more influential. Whatever, I still voted for Sabbath.

    Voted for Elton because he put out a ton of classics. With Metallica, AC/DC, Guns N Roses, etc. headed to the next round, need some more variety in the competition. Sabbath is great, but too similar to those other bands.

    Fuck off lumping GnR in with any of the rest of these bands.
