Re: ULTIMATE Music Tournament:Bracket #29

Depeche Mode... Might be overrated as a the 13th overall seed, but they had so many good songs over almost 30 years...

Living Colour... can still listen to 'Vivid' and enjoy every song. Very underrated band...

Franz Ferdinand... great band, they stand out from alot of bands with similar sounds...

Alicia Keys... Great voice and "Falling" is better than "Oh Sherrie"...

The Hollies... tough choice, the Breeders were great...

Dr. Dre...

Willie Nelson... If Snoop Dogg, Petty & The Dead were in this bracket there would be a theme...

DMB...

Re: ULTIMATE Music Tournament:Bracket #29
