Nelly who ?

#1 Radiohead
#8 Yeah Yeah Yeahs (I did hesitate about this one though)
Pass (I think it would be Daft Punk but I have heard so little from Counting Crows)
#13 The Cranberries (this was really hard, I like both but like to go against the crowd, Tribe will win anyway)
#3 PJ Harvey
#11 No Doubt
#10 Belle And Sebastian
Pass (I don't know much about any of these, I really like (or at least liked) "Hot in Herre" but I have a feeling the rest of his output is pretty annoying, while my feeling is that DMB is just meh all over)

Radiohead
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Daft Punk
A Tribe Called Quest

Nelly

none of these were especially hard choices.

#10 Belle And Sebastian
who cares ?

Sorry to vote against PJ, I guess she will win anyway. Though, even if some Incubus albums are quite bad, SCIENCE is deeply underrated.

Not sure how seriously I can take a tournament in which Fats Domino loses to Bob F**king Seger, but oh well (Slick, I assume that, once again, there other voters besides those on AM?).

Anyhoo, today looks like a whole bunch of higher-seeded critical faves over middling popular successes (although I’ll confess to enjoying Incubus and even the Cranberries).

#1 Radiohead
#8 Yeah Yeah Yeahs
#5 Daft Punk
#4 A Tribe Called Quest
#3 PJ Harvey
#6 Snoop Dogg
#10 Belle and Sebastian (FINALLY…I get to pick an upset.)
Ack…pass.

#1 Radiohead
#9 John Legend (This is a close one, but I have really grown to like Leg alot over the past few years!!!)
#5 Daft Punk
#4 Tribe
#14 Incubus (I've enjoyed flashes of PJ over the years, but just not a fan overall)
#6 Snoop (For a long time this would have been a no-brainer for No Doubt, but over time I've grown to like them less and less)
#7 The Verve
#2 DMB

#1 Radiohead (glad to see Collective Soul included in the competition)
pass
#5 Daft Punk
#13 The Cranberries

#11 No Doubt
too close to call

I voted for Seger over Domino. Always found Domino's singles to be a bit boring.

#1 Radiohead
#8 Yeah Yeah Yeahs
#5 Daft Punk
#4 A Tribe Called Quest
#3 PJ Harvey
#6 Snoop Dogg
Pass (I can't vote against either of these acts; I enjoy them equally. I'll let you guys decide who wins.)
#15 Nelly

1. Radiohead
8. Yeah Yeah Yeahs
12. Counting Crows
4. A Tribe Called Quest
3. PJ Harvey
11. No Doubt
10. Belle and Sebastian
hmm...Nelly because at least I liked him at one point in my life (that would be 7th grade). How did DMB pull a two seed?

#1 Radiohead
#9 John Legend
#5 Daft Punk
pass
pass
#6 Snoop Dogg
pass
#2 Dave Matthews Band

I heard that DMB album with "Crash into Me" on it recently (not by choice)...and it was moderately funky and hooky. Not terrible.

I'll resurrect Schleuse's 20-point scale for today's matchups.

#1 Radiohead: 14 degeats #16 Collective Soul: 12
#8 Yeah Yeah Yeahs: 16 defeats #9 John Legend: 2
#5 Daft Punk: 13 defeats #12 Counting Crows: 1
#4 A Tribe Called Quest: 12 defeats #13 The Cranberries: 11
#3 PJ Harvey: 17 defeats #14 Incubus: 3
#11 No Doubt: 14 defeats #6 Snoop Dogg: 13
#7 The Verve: 12 defeats #10 Belle And Sebastian: 11
#15 Nelly: 2 defeats #2 Dave Matthews Band: 0

I can't believe Dave Matthews Band gets a 2-seed.

Nelly is also pretty famous for "Dilemma", which is great.

I like that last match-up. Edge goes to Nelly because of the Neptunes' brilliant work on Hot In Here.

Radiohead
That's the only match where I know both.
