ESPN has this bracket challenge and DMB is up against Bon Jovi. Please don't let our band lose to Bon Jovi.

    Honestly why bother?

    U2, Bon Jovi, they both have like 2 songs that I can enjoy once a year. Beyond that I despise them for the phony hacks that they are. Bono is an unhinged nutjob that belongs in an asylum, and Bon Jovi's talent/popularity ratio is so far out of whack it's staggering.

    I hate these things, it always has voters that know nothing abut music. Sublime should not be beating p-funk. Although I love sublime, p-funk is full of rock and roll hall of fame

    DMB should at least beat Bon Jovi. I'd pick this as a 12-5 upset.

    In other news, Phish is getting walloped by the Ramones 74% - 26%, which proves the majority of the Phish fanbase doesn't go to ESPN.com.

    *sigh* Yet another poll where the author has things organized to get the results THEY want.

    Lynyrd Skynyrd is ranked number TEN in one of FOUR brackets and is going against The Jackson 5 who is ranked at number SEVEN in the same bracket?! That means the author either wants us to "gasp" thinking Lynyrd Skynyrd pulled off an "upset" or they actually believe they should be ranked somewhere between #40- #43 in the list of "rock" bands.

    BTW, Lynyrd Skynyrd is pulling off the monumental upset! Wow! Who would've thought? It's SOOO close too... (77% Lynyrd Skynyrd to 23% The Jackson Five)

    Also, as someone mentioned, Bon Jovi's popularity is extremely skewed. They probably could have given "The Beatles" a run for their money... I know...it's ridiculous, and sad, but unfortunately true.

    It's funny cause most people who are voting are thinking to themselves "Well, do I like Living on a Prayer or Crash into Me?"

    I've been trying to get the word out too.... I posted some over at the Warehouse...

    "All -

    Dave needs our help! One of the guys at ESPN is doing a "Best Band" bracket tournament to mirror the idea of the "March Madness" basketball tournament.

    We have to get on a vote to DMB!!!! He is against Bon Jovi in the first round. We need to show the people who are doing this what a great following Dave has.

    It only takes 2 seconds to do - nothing to sign up for - no gimmicks

    Their are ssssssooooooooooooooooooo many DMB fans out there - and I mean real fans that we should be killing Bon Jovi in the polls.

    I hope that a lot of people reading this go and vote. To lose to some half-ass old band like Bon Jovi would be horrible.

    How Bon Jovi got as big as they did - I have no idea, but older people see the name and are just like "oh yeah, I recognize the name, I'll vote for them"

    Let's win this just to piss them off! seriously. I know we are biased but cmon a 12 seed is outrageous. DMB sold nearly 12 million albums and they were the top touring act for an entire decade. Horrible that they got a 12 seed so lets pull together and piss them off!
