Please to be changing the title. These shit bands don't belong in the 80's awesomeness. Keep them in the suck depressing 90's where they belong.

Trust me fellas, I did a lot of soul searching post the seedings. I probably fucked over a lot of you guys by putting in Wilco at the expense of an AiC or Tool. But I was trying to mix it up and bring in, at least, one of the 90's alt country rock type groups and keep things chinteresting. 4 Seattle grunge era groups seemed like too much and I had to cut one.

All that said, Jake Browning sucks, and I think Jeff Tweed's body of work in the 90s if you cheat a little and count Uncle Tupelo and the album with Billy Bragg is very skrong. Many a Seattle or Portand hipster fag will agree with me.

Stripes are definitely in no matter what, although we can argue about seeding. White Blood Cells and Elephant were as good as anything anyone was putting out in early 2000s.

You did fine. These things are impossible to do. Too many varied tastes, and lots of faggots on HHB anyway.

The white stripes recorded music is decent but Jack White's guitar work live is unbelievable and on another level.
