Rod Stewart vs. Santana – Ultimate Classic Rock Hall of Fame Semifinals

Scotland meets San Francisco, as Rod Stewart battles Santana in the semifinals of the 100% fan-voted Ultimate Classic Rock Hall of Fame.

Santana had an easy time in the first round, summarily dispatching of the James Gang by winning nearly 67 percent of the vote. On the other hand, Stewart is perhaps better suited to a slugfest, beating Bob Seger in a close fight, 52.6 percent to 47.4 percent.

The winner goes on to the finals, where they will have a tough time beating out either Led Zeppelin or Black Sabbath for induction. You can vote in that contest here.
