Music Survey? Anyone up for it?

From the 50's to present day. I'll include 5 questions per category, to keep it consistent. If you don't know the artist, look them up, or skip the question. I don't care. I'm honestly just very bored.

The 50's:

Elvis Presley vs. Buddy Holly?

Chuck Berry vs. Little Richard?

Billy Haley & The Comets vs. Jerry Lee Lewis?

Ray Charles vs. James Brown?

Sam Cooke vs. Fats Domino?

The 60's:

The Mamas & the Papas vs. Jefferson Airplane?

The Jimi Hendrix Experience vs. Janis Joplin?

The Beatles vs. The Rolling Stones?

The Animals vs. The Zombies?

The Doors vs. The Who?

The 70's:

Black Sabbath vs. Led Zeppelin?

Fleetwood Mac vs. Bad Company?

Queen vs. The Eagles?

Pink Floyd vs. ELO (Electric Light Orchestra)

Aerosmith vs. Journey?

The 80's:

Michael Jackson vs. Prince?

Motley Crue vs. Iron Maiden?

Van Halen vs. Guns N' Roses?

Cyndi Lauper vs. Madonna?

Talking Heads vs. Hall & Oates?

The 90's:

Nirvana vs. Tool?

Korn vs. Pearl Jam?

Nine Inch Nails vs. R.E.M.?

The Smashing Pumpkins vs. Red Hot Chili Peppers?

Foo Fighters vs. Weezer?

The 00's:

Eminem vs. Kanye West?

Britney Spears vs. Lady Gaga?

Rihanna vs. Beyoncé?

Daft Punk vs. The Black Eyed Peas?

Coldplay vs. Green Day?

And finally, the 10's (2010 - Present):

Justin Bieber vs. One Direction? (Pick your poison xD)

Ke$ha vs. Katy Perry?

Bruno Mars vs. Adele?

Maroon 5 vs. Gotye

Nicki Minaj vs. P!nk?

I hope you enjoy it, I'll pick a BA and I'll answer them myself when I do. ^_^

Update:

I'm giving everyone thumbs up since you all answered.

And if you're wondering, I was born in the late 90s and I know all of this music^ hence why I started with the 50s, xD
