Thankfully Van the Man is taking this comfortably and rightfully so. My school is on the grounds where the club the man got his start at singing used to be, and he's a musical genius. Homework for the class is to check out Moondance, Brown-eyed Girl and Have I told You Lately for the next round

I am voting for the Everly Brothers because it should be closer than what the score would say. I mean I like Van Morrison and his grumpiness. And his seemingly ageless face, permenantly Old.

Anyway the Everly Brothers get this because of one song. Bye Bye Love. It is part of the origin of all those depressing songs about unrequited Love.

But they have made some classics like Wake Up Little Suzy

The Everly Brothers are a decent band and deserve votes. I mean those songs Shadow listed are (irritatingly) catchy little numbers and are worth a listen to at least. I just voted for Van as I like him and he's probably the most famous musician to come out of my country (including the guy from Snow Patrol)
