Collin Cowherd's Rock Band Bracket

[YB85]

I always consider the Allmans to be an unfinished work. They were well on their way to being the greatest American RnR band when Duane Allman died. Losing Berry Oakley not long after was also devastating. They had some good stuff after the deaths, but they became just another band. I'd rather listen to "White Blood Cells" or "Elephant" than anything the Allmans did, but that's more a complement to the Stripes than a knock on the Allmans.

Soundgarden was a 15? They got Utah State'd.

 

[JJ Rage]

A lot of modern bands got shafted in their seeding. Cowherd loves hair metal apparently.

AC/DC is beating Nirvana...

How the hell is that possible? I thought most AC/DC die hards didn't even own a computer.

STP, AIC, Foo (where?) and Soundgarden > Nirvana, IMO.

Not in terms of influence, maybe, but man... I just can't stand Cobain, and musically they were mediocre, at best.

AC/DC has a farther reaching and longer lasting influence than Nirvana could ever have.

 

[Sneakers]

I could potentially agree with you on that except for STP. They were a pretty bland band, always were. Soundgarden and AIC all rocked a hell of a lot harder - they were just for the most part the more talented groups.

And ouch, Jimi lost to Pearl Jam.

I consider STP an underrated band, largely because they were miscategorized. I don't think they were grunge, but they gained a lot of traction in that era, and were subsequently lumped with that scene.

I like them quite a bit, but can understand why some do not.

Aerosmith beating U2 in the sweet 16 is bull ****.

I'm not a big AC/DC guy, I prefer the Bon Scott era, but Nirvana is one of the most overrated bands of all time.

Aerosmith beating U2 in the sweet 16 is bull ****.

Definitely. Aerosmith stuff gets old pretty quick. U2 is the best.

Guns N' Roses and Van Halen, two of my favorite bands and tied at 50%. I'm pulling for GNR though. It's hard to pick between them and U2 for my favorite.

 

[Sloanfeld]

Beatles = NOT better than Guns N' Roses. Hopefully Zeppelin takes it since Gn'R is getting killed.
