Interesting that there was so much agreement on #10.

ETA: Rebo – thanks for running these. There may be fewer of us playing, but we’re rabid in our love for a good feud, and you make it possible. tosses confetti

[Elendil_s_Heir]

Woohoo! I made the Top Ten! Did better than I thought I would.

Thanks, DoloRebo and SEJ, for another fun Feud.

[Really_Not_All_That_Bright]

Yay, not last!

[Pray_for_peace]

Thank you, Dolores Reborn, for running the Feud.

SEJ

[kenobi_65]

Seventh place! Wheee!

Thanks, Dolores!

[swampbear]

Well, ya know, any feud I beat twicks is a good feud.
[sup]Should I go hide?[/sup]

[Biffy_the_Elephant_Shrew]

Let’s see: technically I scored in the top half, which is better than I was expecting! I knew choosing Hank Marvin was a stupid move.

Two quibbles about popular/unpopular choices: Was anyone really influenced by Buddy Holly for his guitar playing? And how could no one else have chosen the Velvet Underground, who are the very definition of influential? You know the line: only a couple of thousand people bought their albums, but everyone who did went out and formed a band.

@swampbear

Well, ya know, any feud I beat twicks is a good feud.
[sup]Should I go hide?[/sup]

You almost always beat me, unfortunately.

[GuiriEnEspana]

2nd again! It seems I do best in the feuds I know least about (see High School Memories…).

@Rebo

7. Name a 60s group influential to Rock (but not The Beatles or The Rolling Stones)
   7. The Who 12
8. Cream 6
9. The Beach Boys 5
   7. The Doors 4

If there’s a single piece of confetti left on the ground, may I pick it up and throw it at myself as consolation?

That extra “Doors” would have been enough for a tie with 42Fish

Thanks Dolores and Sidney Evgeni Jordan for a fun feud!
