Welcome to the Eleventh Round (that's right only 9 matches left now) of the Artist League, just a quick recap on the rules before I give you today's fixtures.
To give a result for a match you simple write down the score you want to give the match to the right of the fixture (e.g. U2 vs The Smiths 2-2).
You can select any result from 0-0 to 3-3 (if you do not know the bands please select 0-0)
When giving your results a win by 1 means you like an artist more, a win by 2 you like an artist a lot more and a win by 3 means there is no comparison between the two (however this is just a guideline, you may vote anyway you wish)
Strategic Voting is fine e.g. if the match is U2 vs Wilco and you think both bands are equal but know U2 will do much better it is fine to give a 3-0 to Wilco to try to make the match a draw overall.
It would be easier for me in counting the results if you give a result for each match, if you don't like the bands just go with a 0-0 and move on to the next match up.
There is no requirement of prior participation in the competition so if you feel like joining in now for the first time go right ahead and take part,and if you have any questions about how this works don't be afraid to ask.
This match up will last for 72 hours that means that it will end at 5am on Saturday, so make sure you have your results in by then.

Other Key Matches
Premier:
David Bowie (12th) vs The Beatles (2nd) - The Beatles go into this match unbeaten and knowing that a win could possibly bring them to the top of the table; Bowie on the other hand will be hoping to just inch a little closer to a top half finish
The Who (9th) vs U2 (1st) - U2 go into this match unbeaten leaders of the league but know that they still can't afford to lose a single point as the Beatles are currently tied with them; the Who on the other hand could find their way into the top 5 if they can manage to win
Coldplay (17th) vs The Verve (15th) - Coldplay go into this game fresh off their first win of the season and are hoping to find their way out of relegation zone and into safety; the Verve on the other hand could find themselves down in the relegation zone if they lose today
Championship:
The Killers (5th) vs Muse (1st) - Unbeaten Muse currently lie joint top in the Championship and are currently one of the early favourite for promotion to the Premier; The Killers however have recently been making a push for the promotion zone and a win today could see them easily move into it
The Kinks (7th) vs Elbow (16th) - Unbeaten The Kinks go against Elbow a band who have yet to win a single game this season despite already achieving five draws. The Kinks need to a win to stay at the forefront of the promotion race and Elbow need a win to keep out of the relegation zone; neither band can afford to lose today.
Oasis (3rd) vs Tom Petty (4nd) - Two promotion contenders go against each other today; a win for Oasis will mean they're still in the title race while a win for Tom will mean he'll get to hold on to his position in the promotion zone; another less could see him drop as many as several places
Third Division A:
Sugababes (19th) vs Alice in Chains (15th) - Both bands go into this match knowing that they are in the midst of a relegation battle; and both go in without a single win to their names (Although Alice in Chains have managed five draws so far); both will be hoping they'll achieve their first wins this round

Third Division B:
Sex Pistols (15th) vs Belle And Sebastian (18th) - Belle and Sebastian go into this match hoping it can be their first win and the match to take them out of the relegation zone zone; Sex Pistols on the other hand just want to put some distance between themselves and relegation
John Lennon (1st) vs Elvis (6th) - Lennon goes into today's match hoping for nothing less then a win so he can remain at the top of the table; Elvis on the other hand will need a win today if he is to mount any form of serious title challenge this season
