Re: UMT2: 80's Region, Bracket #1

#1 U2
#9 Belinda Carlisle (even when she got schlocky, she never got embarrassing, which I can’t say for Mr. Adams)
#5 Crowded House
#4 George Michael (Slayer is tempting here, but that would just be contrarian of me)
#14 Ice-T (OK, this really is contrarian, but I’ve never liked RHCP)
#11 10,000 Maniacs (seems cruel to put Natalie Merchant up against one of the only rock stars prettier than she is)
#10 Thompson Twins (they're more fun, and Jim Kerr is often too far up his own backside.)
#2 Pet Shop Boys (Evan Dando deserves a tip of the cap. But PSB is the clear choice here...I'm surprised, but pleased, that they pulled the high seed they deserve.)

A potential U2/PSB matchup would be very delicious for me, since it was Bono's outrage over PSB's cover of "Where the Streets Have No Name" that made me realize he's kind of a humorless twit.
