As before, no opinions, and no votes, about the rappers of Region 1.

REGION 1  
Missy Elliot vs. Coolio  
Will Smith vs. TLC  
Puff Daddy vs. Boyz II Men  
En Vogue vs. Jay-Z

REGION 2  
Alice in Chains vs. **Rage Against the Machine**  
**Stone Temple Pilots** vs. Sublime  
Alanis Morrisette vs. **Oasis**  
**Soundgarden** vs. Meatloaf

REGION 3  
**Michael Jackson** vs. Bob Dylan  
Janet Jackson vs. **Madonna**  
LL Cool J vs. **Guns n Roses**  
**Metallica** vs. Bruce Springsteen

REGION 4  
NSync vs. **Ricky Martin**  
**Backstreet Boys** vs. 98 Degrees  
Mariah Carey vs. **Christina Aguillera**  
**Hanson** vs. Spice Girls

Hanson v. Spice Girls was a tough call, but my loathing of Hanson turned out to be greater.
