    Another chinteresting match up here and not as easy as you might think. Lou Reed is a fucking god and the Velvets were the first great cult band with a tremendous influence on punk. That said, Jake Browning sucks, and you better bring your A game to knock off Jimi.

    The competition if stiff here. Everyone ahead of him was more influential overall. Now if Jimi had MORE TIME, then who knows how it would have played out.

    Jimi is the most dangerous 4 seed in the tourney.
    Rather easily. I am a YUGE Bowie fan and would rank him on par with Jimi in overall importance to rock history, but I don't think much of the bored will see it that way. Talking Heads are dun and The White Stripes prolly won't go too far.

    I love the White Stripes but they'er too high, even in their weak bracket. Jimi is the strongest four seed but the three above him are tough. Twill be chinteresting.

    We have to keep in mind I did seedings based more on what I would view as popular opinion amongst rock critics and what not. Most critics would have Nirvana at #1 and crushing Soundgarden. That probably won't happen here. Same things with Hendrix - Beatles, Stones and Dylan all come before him in the rock intelligentsia hierarchy.

    I get that.

    Are the White Stripes generally regarded above GnR? Seriously? I know White is a virtuoso but the Stripes aren't even his best work IMO (I prefer the Racontouers), and we all know Meg is nothing special. GnR has two absolute legends in Axl and Slash and a body of work that transcended their era far more than TWS ever did. I get it's not just a popularity contest but I can't see TWS > GnR in any serious ranking.
