[Stardust]

Final Semi-Finals week ---

In recognition of the terrible job that the BCS has done in crowning a true national champion, I thought I would take a stab at creating an 8 team (band) tournament, ran over the next 6 weeks to crown the best 80's band.

In week 4 we have two super powers of Rock Van Halen & Journey. Who do you take?

Van Halen
