Get ready for a grudge match that pits arena rock royalty against each other!
In the red corner, wearing the heavyweight belt as our 2-seed, stands Van Halen's "Jump," the song that proved even the kings of hard rock couldn't resist the 80s synth revolution! Eddie Van Halen traded his iconic guitar licks for bouncing keyboards and yet still delivered pure rock euphoria that packed stadiums worldwide, even if it did scare off David Lee Roth!
Challenging this beast is the 15-seed "Dude (Looks Like a Lady)" by Aerosmith, a track that embodies everything deliriously excessive about late-80s rock: big hair, big attitudes, gender-bending glam, and Steven Tyler's trademark shriek!
While "Jump" represents the evolution of rock meeting synth, "Dude" is pure chaos wrapped in spandex. Can Aerosmith's comeback single upset the mighty VH, or will "Jump's" irresistible blend of synths and swagger prove why it earned that coveted 2-seed?
As mentioned on the show, this is a meaningless bonus poll:
