The battle to determine the world's second best band continues.

The qualifying round is over. The pretenders are gone.
Thirty-two (mostly) great bands remain. The top eight seeds are now in.
Now it gets tough.
Eight pools. Four bands face off head-to-head within their pool.
Two best records in each pool advance to the playoffs.
Group A:
Black Sabbath, Helloween, Jethro Tull, Blue Oyster Cult
Pick your favourite.
And may the best band win.
 
Black Sabbath. I don't like them that much, but so far as consistency and just generally "icon-ness" goes, it has to be them.

Sabbath might indeed be the most consistent. I'd be happy if they go through but I voted for Helloween to give them some credit. :)
 
I voted for Blue Oyster Cult because they are one of my all-time favourite bands, but there was little doubt Sabbath was going to win this one.
If you don't absolutely love one of the other bands, they have so much cachet they're hard to vote against.
They win this group in a landslide and will be hard to beat moving forward.
Helloween will join them in the playoffs.
On to Group B.
