Poison. "Let's Dance" is more pop than rock.
Fixed for clarification.

Not a strong showing by Poison here... it gets my vote regardless tho over Bowie in a "rock" tourny.

I would say Bowie is more Pop, but the fact that he has an actual band AND got left out of the Pop Tourney, I felt obligated to get him in here.

That match up was over from the get go. I think David Bowier was poisoned. ----------------------------------------------------------- A quintessential 80's band versus a song that narrowly qualified as it was released on an album in late '89 despite achieving it's real fame in 1990. Quiet Riot - Momma We're All Crazy NowVs. Faith No More - Epic"Epic" was a breakthrough hit single by the alternative metal band Faith No More. It was released in 1990 and featured on their third album The Real Thing. It peaked at #9 on the Hot 100, and is the band's only Top 10 hit in the US thus far. It is also the band's most popular song and a staple in their concerts. Like all of the songs from The Real Thing, there is no interpretation of what the song is about because singer Mike Patton wrote the lyrics to follow the rhythm rather than focusing on a topic. Several sources, including MuchMusic, claims that the song is about sexuality. This song combines heavy metal with rap, paving the way for rap metal and funk metal. Some rap and hip-hop artists have cited this song as a major influence in how they shout and syncopate their lyrics with heavy guitar-driven riffs.[citation needed] "Epic" has been covered both in concerts and on the Kerrang Higher Voltage CD, a compilation of artists covering other songs, in this case Welsh rock band, The Automatic covered the song. The CD was released 20 June 2007.[1] The Metalcore band Atreyu also covered the song on their album Lead Sails Paper Anchor. A master track of the song also appears in the music video game Rock Band. The song is also featured in the racing game, Burnout Paradise. "Epic" was ranked #30 on VH1's 40 Greatest Metal Songs,[2] and #67 on their 100 Greatest One-hit Wonders list.

Not so much of an epic match there. 3-1 FNM. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Niel Young's only shot vs. Loverboy's best shot (IMO). Neil Young - Rockin' in the Free World"Rockin' in the Free World" is a song by Neil Young, released on his 1989 record Freedom.[1] Two versions of the song were released, similar to the song "Hey Hey, My My (Into the Black)" of Young's Rust Never Sleeps album, one of which is performed with a predominantly acoustic arrangement, and the other with a predominantly electric arrangement. Vs. Loverboy - Working For The Weekend"Working for the Weekend" was a song released in 1981 on the now famous rock band Loverboy's second album Get Lucky. The song contained more of a pop feel than the other songs that the band produced, but this new sound proved to generate a lot of success, as the song reached #29 on the pop singles charts, and #2 in mainstream rock in the United States in January 1982. [1] The song is considered an Anti-Work Anthem.

Weak choices here, but I'll go with Loverboy, because I just don't like Neil Young.

...Loverboy has always sucked.
But they get the vote here, anyway.

The spider gets squashed! ---------------------------------------- Good match here, though I think I know which way it will go. Rolling Stones - Start Me Up"Start Me Up" was first recorded in Munich during the 1975 Black and Blue sessions, and later in the 1978 Some Girls sessions under the working titles "Never Stop" and "Start It Up". The song was originally recorded as a reggae-rock track, but after dozens of takes the band stopped recording it, as it reminded them of something currently on the radio. In 1981, with the band looking to tour, producer Chris Kimsey proposed to lead singer Mick Jagger that archived songs could comprise the set. While searching through the archives, Kimsey found two takes of the song with a more rock vibe among some fifty reggae versions. Overdubs were done on the track in early 1981. The infectious "thump" to the song was achieved using mixer Bob Clearmountain's famed "bathroom reverb", a process involving the recording of some of the song's vocal and drum tracks with a miked speaker in the bathroom of the Power Station recording studio in New York City. It was there where final touches were added to the song, including Jagger's switch of the main lyrics from "start it up" to "start me up." Vs. Guns N' Roses - Welcome to the Jungle"Welcome to the Jungle" is the first track from Guns N' Roses' debut album, Appetite for Destruction, and also on their Greatest Hits album. The song peaked at number seven on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming their first significant hit single.
