Animal collective and Armstrong

At least I found Alt-J thru this tourney, so it hasn't been a complete waste.

Rojimy, Alt-J just released a new album too. On first listen, I don't like it as much as their first album but it's worth checking out.

Anyone could have advanced far in the 90s-now bracket. It is full of utter garbage.

There definitely was a lot of filler - who would you have from that era?

At this point we can just advance to the 90s final between Jack White and Daft Punk. If you nominate garbage, then the bracket is going to be garbage. How Wilco isn't still alive I have no idea.

First, I disagree with the time frames. Should be Pre-1950, 50s and 60s, 70s and 80s, 90s to present. At least the established 90s bands would knock out the crappy bands with only 2 albums in the past 10 years.

I'd have nominated Beyoncé even though she wouldn't have won because of the site demographics. That she wasn't even nominated speaks volumes. Muse should be in there IMO.

Portishead, Foo Fighters, Radiohead, Nirvana, Propaghandi, Stone Roses, Green Day, NIN, and more should all be in a 90s to present bracket.(or some of them not at all)

Then you should have nominated her.

SOAD/Bach

I don't fully understand why there seems to be so many negative comments about SoaD - they're an incredibly influential band that have been going for two decades now, and a lot of their songs cover real, important topics.

I wasn't on the site when the nominating process was happening. :P

Jeff, the brackets were divided like that after all the noms were in. We obviously didn't get an even amount of bands from every decade so I very roughly pigeon holed them. To be honest, I expected people to shift them around.

Also, the brackets are actually mid 90s-present and 80s-mid 90s which explains why some of the bands you mentioned aren't in the most recent group.

Beyonce definitely would have been a good nomination. She'd get votes over a lot of bands there. And meh to Muse.

Still a littlee miffed that I rescinded my Tool nomination. They might've actually done some damage in the bracket.

I understand why the breaks had to be made that way. I just think that the final choices were somewhat skewed toward newer bands with little track record. It's all good. Ya gotta work with what ya got.

Muse should have been in over Good Charlotte, Rihanna should have been in over Lady Gaga, Beck should have been in over whatever bullshit Propagandhi is, and Beyonce should have been in over anyone in the 90s/present bracket and won. Oh well. I'm not the only one who considered those nominations but no one pulled the trigger.

Propagandhi are a punk band that started in the 90s and are still going strong.

It doesn't matter if they are. Everyone had their own individual nomination choices. There are simply better groups that got left out, but oh well. Beyonce should have been an honorary alongside MJ maybe.

What makes you think Rihanna is a better muSician than gaga when she doesn't write her own songs? What makes her a candidate for this competition if all she has is vocals. Nobody is lamenting va lack of yo yo ma when he is a better cellob player than she is singer.

What is good about muse? Why are you so fired up about replacing a shitty one dimensional pop punk band for a shitty one dimensional rock band?

Your opinions are never valid bo sox. If you want to share them at least pretend to want to have a discussion. You don't control how people think no matter how bad you want to.

AC and Bach.

Muse is hardly one-dimensional.

We already have Radiohead on there, why include Radiohead Jr. aka Muse?

Armstrong............2 - 6.........................Bach
SoaD....................4 - 3....Animal Collective

Why not both?

Calling Musw Radiohead Jr. might be an insult to both.

Armstrong & Abstain.

Bach and don't care

"who would you have from that era?"

I would have preferred to have seen The Strokes, The Killers, Franz Ferdinand, Incubus, Smashing Pumpkins, MGMT, Weezer, among others.

The Killers were already eliminated. Also they suck. The rest of those bands are better than a lot of the nominations, but there were better candidates that were nominated and haven't made it this far.

The real problem with that bracket is that we've voted out some good bands. Kanye, Eminem, Jack White, and Spoon are all pretty worthy of making it as far as they have, but I think Wilco, Alt-J, LCD Soundsystem, and GY!BE were all pretty good bands that got shafted.

GY!BE made it farther than they deserved.

I'm not the biggest GY!BE fan, but they're pretty cool.
