Welcome to the Eighth Round 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, I encourage it
This match up will last for 72 hours that means that it will end at 6am on Sunday, so make sure you have your results in by then.
Also this is just a thread for posting your results if you which to discuss any of today's matches or anything to do with the artist league please use the Discussion thread
