Iced Earth beats Joe Satriani and advances.

As usual, vote for your favourite. The winner advances, the loser goes home.

In the red corner, from Seattle Washington, weighing in with just three albums, but a sound that redefined music in the '90s and came to symbolize a generation:

In the blue corner, from Dublin Ireland, weighing in with 12 albums featuring rogue poetry and a sound that defined the dual guitar attack:

[Perun]

Thin Lizzy.

 

[MrKnickerbocker]

Thin Lizzy by so many miles.

 

[mckindog]

No disrespect to Nirvana, but this one isn't even close for me. Lizzy

 

[Black Wizard]

Thin Lizzy, the greatest band to come out of the economic powerhouse that is Ireland.

I can't stand Nirvana.

 

[Forostar]

Nirvana.

 

[Moon Child]

Tough choice but I'm going with Lizzy.

 

[LooseCannon]

Thin Lizzy by a landslide.

 

[Stardust]

I have only heard one song each from these bands! But I like the song by Thin Lizzy better than the Nirvana song so my vote goes to Thin Lizzy!

 

[Saapanael]

Thin Lizzy

 

[The Flash]

Thin Lizzy

 

[Mosh]

Tough choice. I might abstain from this one. I love both bands but I'm more familiar with Nirvana's full catalog. Thin Lizzy has a lot to offer though and a sound I really love. This is too hard!

Edit: Just saw the results, looks like my vote wouldn't matter anyway
