Re: UMT2: 2nd Round / #8

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

Re: UMT2: 2nd Round / #8

#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

Meh

Re: UMT2: 2nd Round / #8

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.)
