March Music Madness

[Alice]

My local radio station is following suit with March Madness.  They've taken some popular bands and play 3 songs for each matchup.  Then the listeners vote for the winner.  Here's the bracket so far.

I'm in a contest with this dude at work about it.  It sucks cuz I have to pick the people I think will win, not the ones that *should* win.  As you can see by the ones that have already won... a lot of them make me say wtf?

Blister in the sun is fantastic.

Dazie, you're not emo enough to know those bands, I think.

[Bennyhana]

Blister in the sun is total crap, and no one knows what the fuck it means.

Dazie, you're not lame enough to know those bands, I think.

It's true.

According to lead singer Gordon Gano, this song is not about masturbation as popularly thought. He wrote this song about a girl he had a crush on in high school. Gordon was sensitive about his small hands, and on the first day of school a girl came up to him, held his hands in the air, and exclaimed, "Look what small hands he has!" So, he wrote the song from the perspective of a girl lusting after a boy with big hands. This explains the "big hands I know you're the one" line.[1]

HAHA that sounds like a big bunch of BS to me.

Wow.

[VikingJuice]

A lot of shitty current pop bands are beating more established quality bands.  Must be a young radio audience.  No self-respecting rocker over 25 would vote for a lot of that shit.

[Alice]

Today, Queens of the Stone Age beat out STP. 

I don't get kids these days.
