I wonder where they got this idea?
Because we're too busy/lazy to put up a proper music-related March Madness-style bracket, here's a link to 94 WYSP's (Philly's Rock Station) tournament to determine the GREATEST ROCK BAND OF ALL TIME!
In the affectionately-titled "Rock Madness", the number one seeds are Pearl Jam, Led Zeppelin, Metallica and Green Day. And apparently Disturbed is worthy of a two seed.
There's a brutal Nickelback vs. Limp Bizkit 8/9 game in the Jennifer Reed bracket, the winner of which, I can only hope, will be laid to waste by long-haired Metallica in round two. Meanwhile, some of the interesting pairings lead to Sweet Sixteen births for Jane's Addiction, Motley Crue and Bush. Even more surprisingly, the Black Crowes might make it out of the first round. (But Maxim already knew that.)
The band with the biggest gripe for the selection committee is clearly Black Sabbath, seeing as they pretty much invented the music that this station pays the rent with*. Ozzy makes it on his own as a five seed, which is some consolation.
For reasons of full disclosure, my Final Four: Zep, Metallica, Guns n' Roses (2) and Pink Floyd (3).
* = To be fair, I have never actually listened to WYSP.
