#1 seeds: Ramones/Smiths/R.E.M./Radiohead

ETA: can you do an N.I.T. so we can slot the Pixies/Replacements/Husker Du somewhere? 

 

[Reg Lllama of Brixton]

Seems like there is a glaring omission on this list.

Who are you thinking?

They've been doing this for years and I think a few bands have been retired from competition.

I love the idea of it, but Garbage as a #1 seed for modern rock?

Y100's hay day was in the 90's before 100.3 changed formats and Josh took Y100 (now YNot) online.

That may be why there's a lot of carryover in their "modern" rock contest.

Fair enough.  Wouldn't consider them a 1 seed during the 90s either, but still a fun idea.

Where are the Red Hot Chili Peppers? Jane's?

You're not very good at being a homer

 

[MAC_32]

Here's the list, who would be your four #1 seeds?...

Beastie Boys, Foo Fighters, Muse, and White Stripes.

 

[E-Z Glider]

Arcade Fire

Beastie Boys

Radiohead

Jack White Stripes

 

[Dr. Octopus]

The seeding seems a little off - what is that based on?

 

[The Future Champs]

Arcade Fire is a #7 seed?  WTF?

Plus, no disrespect meant, I wouldn't put the Foo Fighters in this category.

 

[HellToupee]

Brother Brother Brother podcast  is doing this with American bands 

 

[rockaction]

This would have been interesting to pursue. What were the results, I wonder?  

I would go Ramones/Spoon/Modest Mouse/Vampire Weekend

That's an intimidating list. 

And Reg Llama is talking about...well, we know...

We might be able to seed and draft this.

Oh dear God, who was voting?
