The National - I still am in disbelief about Bjork being a #1 seed...
Gorillaz
The Strokes
Pumpkins
OutKast
Foo Fighters - One of the mainstream rock bands that continue to put out great music in an era when mainstream rock pretty much sucks...
Pulp
LCD Soundsystem - Suprisingly closer than one would think
#1 Bjork - what's this talk that she doesn't deserve the #1 seed?
#4 Gorillaz
#3 The Strokes
#2 The Smashing Pumpkins
#1 OutKast
#4 Animal Collective
#3 Pulp
pass - don't care
#1 Bjork: Easy choice, and I kind of dig The National.
#4 Gorillaz: Very easy choice.
#3 The Strokes: Easy choice.
Meh
Pass (Don't know enough Spoon)
Meh
#3 Pulp: By a nosehair!
#2 LCD Soundsystem: Very easy choice.
I went for all favorites today! That has to be a first.
#9 The National (I like to think The National has a chance here, to me the greatest band since R.E.M.)
#4 Gorillaz
#3 The Strokes
#2 The Smashing Pumpkins
#1 OutKast
#5 Foo Fighters
#3 Pulp
#2 LCD Soundsystem
BJÖRK (Tremendously cruel choice. I wouldn’t go quite as far as Stephan, but the National is a fantastic band, probably my third or fourth favorite artist of today’s 16.)
GORILLAZ (Slam dunk.)
WU-TANG CLAN (I have come around on the Strokes a bit, but the Wu was brilliant.)
SMASHING PUMPKINS
OUTKAST (Spoon is a real favorite of mine, and I even give them extra points for being a Texas band. But, although this is a painful choice, it’s a clear one.)
ANIMAL COLLECTIVE
PULP (Sorry, Biggie.)
LCD SOUNDSYSTEM (I was dubious about seeing them live. I should not have been – one of the best sets I’ve ever seen, and I’m glad I caught them while I still had a chance.)
#9 The National
Very close vote, could have easily voted the other way.
#4 Gorillaz
#3 The Strokes
#2 The Smashing Pumpkins
#1 OutKast
#4 Animal Collective
#3 Pulp
#2 LCD Soundsystem
