My first choice would have to be Aerosmith. I love their songs and their sound really defined the music of the eighties.

My runner-up is Guns 'n Roses. To say they have been influential as well would be an understatement.
My favorite songs are 'Welcome to the jungle' and 'Sweet Child of Mine'

I haven't even heard of a couple of the bands in this round.

Ok sorry,
I also like Ozzy because he has some of my favorite songs, like Crazy Train, ,which I love.
Guns n Roses again because I usually enjoy listening to most of their music, some fun stuff to dance to :D

@ AvengedSevenfold11 : Thanx for the reasoning! Your votes are now counted and you (co-)helped Ozzy take the lead from Aerosmith!! How 'bout that?! =D

@ HahiHa : I agree! Brian Johnson's singing voice is so unmistakenly recognizable, you can immediately hear it's AC/DC whenever he blasts of! =)

@ imamnotironman : Hey, no problem! It's always good to check and double check every once in a while... ;)

@ logantheking and AvengedSevenfold11 : That's why I've included info links and 3 popular songs for each of the bands in the group! Have a look a the videos posted for each band and I'm pretty sure you will at least recognize the songs by 'Meat Loaf'! As for 'Rose Tattoo'... you might not now them, because they were big in Australia, but not as known in the rest of the world... ;)

@ StrategicCaptain : I already counted your votes, but thanx for the extended reasoning! This validates them only more! Thanx! =D

As for the score update... some changes have occured in ranking! Ozzy now has a 1 point lead over Aerosmith and allthough they are battling between eachother for first place, AC/DC now overtook Motorhead and is closing in on Guns n' Roses! Excellent!! =D

New score update for this round gives us the following standings:
_________________________________________

# Votes counted Group B: #

#Ozzy Ozbourne_:  17 (3+1+3+1+3+3+3)
#Aerosmith_____  : 16 (3+3+3+1+3+3)
#Guns 'n Roses__:   7 (1+1+3+1+1)
#AC/DC________:   5 (1+1+1+1+1)
#Motorhead_____ :   3 (3)
#Meat Loaf_____  :   0 (-)
#Rose Tattoo___  :   0 (-)
_________________________________________

Will Guns n' Roses and AC/DC make it back to the top with some more votes and be able to challenge Ozzy and Aerosmith for 2nd or even... 1st place? And will Meat Loaf and Rose Tattoo get even a single point in the bag?! It's all up to you people! State your votes and take care of the excitement! Keep 'em coming!! =D

Goodness I missed the first round. Oh well though, Quee and the Beatles are who I would have voted for. For this round: First vote goes to AC/DC because I never get tired of their music. They have so many songs that are good, and not many bad ones. They were also one of the first bands I was introduced to. Second vote goes to Aerosmith because they have been making great music for soo long.

First: Guns 'n Roses
Second: Motorhead

I always liked Glam rock (and Glam metal) and Guns 'n Roses are a tough version (Sleaze) undoubtedly influential and successful; My Michelle, November Rain and You Could be Mine are my favorites.

Motorhead was a big band early in the Metal scene and shows the real link with Punk as well.
