V2W: Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductees (WINNER: Queen)

[Red Barchetta]

VOTE 2 WIN: ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME INDUCTEES​

Welcome to my second V2W! This V2W is based on the inductees of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, located in Cleveland, Ohio.

There are a total amount of 180 contestants in this V2W. There will be 5 matches a day because of the high amount of contestants. Matches will be updated everyday somewhere between 9PM to 10PM EST.

EDIT: Round 1 is finished, Round 2 has a total of 90 contestants. Updates will be at the same time, but there will be 3 matches a day now.

RULES (please read):

Please include all matches in your post - it gets confusing if you leave a match out.

Don’t overly praise or criticize a contestant, or your vote will be revoked. Comments like “I’m not a big fan of this band/musician” or “I like this band/musician more than the other” are fine.

You’re allowed to change your vote anytime during a match.

And any other normal V2W rules apply too, really.
