Q101's March madness tournament final 4 is Avenged Sevenfold, Tool, A Perfect Circle, and Incubus
Incubus won, besides there are some other very shocking victories for awful bands over good bands.
Examples.......Foo Fighters over Pearl Jam, Chevelle over Bob Marley, Jimmy Eat World over Rage Against The Machine, Staind over Oasis, Avenged Sevenfold over anybody

Or alternative taste in awful music? Hmmmmm...'We're learning songs for baby Jesus' birthday. His mum and dad were Merry and Joseph. He had a bed made of clay and the three kings bought him Gold, Frankenstein and Merv as presents.'

Yes, because everyone who listens to alternative music listens to mainstream rock radio...
I don't remember the last time I listened to modern rock radio. Face it, radio bands will win this bullshit cause that's where they are most popular.
No need to blame an entire city. You like Oasis and I don't rag on you.0 -

It wasnt a serious bash at Chicago, dont take it so seriously. I just find this tournament really shocking. To think NIN was winner last year and now Incubus is. Its a travesty.Alpine Valley 2000

I like Incubus but their latest album is mostly shite.
Which is funny, cus I hold exactly that opinion of NIN.
(and by 'latest album' I mean 'Year Zero', not 'Ghosts', which is good) 'We're learning songs for baby Jesus' birthday. His mum and dad were Merry and Joseph. He had a bed made of clay and the three kings bought him Gold, Frankenstein and Merv as presents.'

Dont worry about it, like polls that say this is the best that is the best etc, it really isnt conclusive as only a small demograph will actually be represented by it.Can not be arsed with life no more.0 -
No we don't. We have WXRT. Beat that!
Q101 is shit. It's not even alternative rock. It's 90s mainstream "alternative" rock. The station's been slowly dieing for oh say 8 years now.0 -

i havent listened to mainstream rock radio since i heard one of those battle contests between two shit rock bands. the people who were calling in to vote were so stupid they could barely string more than two words together that made sense. It was then that i realised radio was lost to inbred morons.0
