the purple tin

Kenny Loggins vs Smokie


Michael Jackson vs Alison Moyet


Prince vs Genesis


Kate Bush vs Patti Smith Group

Prince vs MJ would have been an interesting match.

Necro

Kenny Loggins vs Smokie - Footloose and Danger Zone to name a few are awesome
Michael Jackson vs Alison Moyet - Because they aren't MJ, yes I'm Necro and I'll be anti Jacko voting throughout.
Prince vs Genesis - Because Phil Collins is in Genesis. Hi, I'm Necro and I'll be anti Phil Collins voting throughout
Kate Bush vs Patti Smith Group - I find Kate Bush boring. There I said it.

Kenny Loggins even though my mum is Alice
Alison Moyet such an amazing artist
Prince listened to him a lot more than genesis
Kate Bush she’s brilliant

Michael Jackson- brilliant in the 80s and one of the greatest of all time
Prince - brilliant in the 80s and one of the greatest of all time

Zaph

Kenny Loggins - a couple of decent songs, don't know much more about him than that tbh, but more 80s than Smokie.

Alison Moyet - preferred her with Yazoo than solo, but never liked MJ regardless of what decade it was.

Prince - the purple genius.

Kate Bush vs Patti Smith Group - pass

Rothko

Kenny Loggins - not really a fan of either but I'll give Kenny the slight edge
Michael Jackson
Prince - Love Prince and only really a fan of the Peter Gabriel era of Genesis
Kate Bush - One of the artists who I hope goes far in this

Kolido

Kenny Loggins 6 - 1 Smokie
Michael Jackson 5 - 4 Alison Moyet
Prince 6 - 1 Genesis
Kate Bush 5 - 2 Patti Smith Group

I think these 2 are still open, so I will vote for
Michael Jackson and
Kate Bush
to get them over the line

Rothko,

Michael Jackson vs Alison Moyet still to be decided. Wanna seal their fates?

Never mind

The B-52's - my nomination (although I do like Yazoo a lot)

They were on my list and in my rush this morning I omitted them. So glad you had them nominated.

Zaph

Paul Simon - just for Graceland, an all-time classic album

Yazoo - about as 80s as you'll get

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - OMD were a bit bland

Dire Straits - was a big fan of them back in the day

Madonna 5 - 4 Paul Simon
The B-52s 6 - 2 Yazoo
