MM-aRch Madness
WMMR is doing their anual MM-aRch Madness tournie which pits bands against one another. They play two songs from each band and then let the listeners call in and text in votes for who is better. Then they move on. They are grouped into the 70's bracket, 80's, 90's and 00's. I really enjoy this yearly event and find it exciting to see the comparisons on which bands are more popular than others. As always the debate rages on how bands like Pearl Jam gets knocked out by Tool, David Bowe beats the Rolling Stones, and U2 looses to the likes of Ozzy. It just shows how some fans are really passionate of certain musical acts. I personally even find myself texting in who I want to win every so often. I believe with who is left that the final four bands remaining will be Green Day out of the 90's bracket, Zeppelin out of the 70's, AC/DC out of the 80's and the FooFighters out of the 00's, with AC/DC winning the whole thing. Check out there site and see which upsets are the biggest and who should win and let me know.

Phil,
ReplyDeleteI listen to Preston & Steve but don't really follow MM-arch Madness. How do they choose what bracket a band belongs in? Like with the Foo Fighters, couldn't they also qualify as a 90s band? Or, how about U2?
They could all qualify whereever they are voted into. The fans vote online the preceding few weeks on there favorite bands of certain era's... bands can only qualify in one era also. That is why some beetter bands didnt even make the top 64 bands. They take fan votings and even seat them based on fans voting.
