Welcome to the Ninth 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 11pm on Wednesday, so make sure you have your results in by then.

Other Key Matches
Premier:
Bruce Springsteen (4th) vs The National (18th) - Two bands on opposite ends of the table; a win for Bruce could see him moving up to 3rd; with the National currently pointless, a win or a draw would be a great boost for them.
Led Zeppelin (5th) vs The Beatles (2nd) - The Beatles are one of only two bands who have won every single match up so far; and a win against Led Zeppelin could take them to the top of the table. A win for Zeppelin could return them to third position.
Arcade Fire (8th) vs U2 (1st) - U2 are currently unbeaten and are top of the league after winning every match so far; Arcade Fire are looking to recover from a lose to Pink Floyd a win against U2 could bring them up as high as 5th.
Championship:
Bob Dylan (2nd) vs Leonard Cohen (8th) - Both artists go into this match unbeaten; a win for Dylan could bring him to the top of the table; while a win for Cohen could bring him up into the promotion zone.
The Shadows (20th) vs Tom Petty (5th) - The Shadows go into this match as the only team in the division who is yet to get a single point; Petty on the other hand goes into this match with a chance of getting into the promotion zone if he can win.
Oasis (4th) vs Peter Gabriel (3th) - Both bands go into this match trying to hold on to a promotion place; Peter Gabriel also goes into the match with eight games unbeaten so far meaning he could just have the edge.
Third Division A:
Common (20th) vs Alice in Chains (16th) - Both bands go into this match without a single win from their first eight games; a win today for Common could see them move off bottom and out of the relegation zone; while Alice in Chains will be just hoping to stay out of it.
New Order (2nd) vs Queen (1st) - The battle of the top two teams in the Third Division A; New Order are unbeaten so far this season and are currently tied for 2nd; Queen have dismissed all eight of their opponents so far this season and are currently top with eight wins. Winner of this match will most likely finish the round top of the division.
Third Division B:
The Doors (4th) vs Pulp (17th) - Two bands on opposite ends of the table; The Doors have yet to lose a match this season while Pulp have yet to win one. A win for the Doors could bring them into the promotion zone or even put them top of the table; while a win for Pulp would bring them a little closer to getting out of the relegation zone.
Jacques Brel (20th) vs The Shins (11th) - Jacques Brel goes into this match being the only artist in the entire competition yet to get a single goal from his eight games so far; The Shins go into the game hoping to break into the top half of the table
