Inspired by the sad realization that bands I liked when I was 15 are now considered classic rock. Let's start by seeing if they can crack the top-10.

Black
Alive
Jeremy
Even Flow
Go
Daughter
Dissident
Better Man
State of Love & Trust
Glorified G

Never was a big fan of Daughter, but otherwise great list...and great band choice.

Boy, CCR is given no chance to savor their victory before Pearl Jam comes a-nippin' at their heels.

I was thinking of sponsoring Pearl Jam.

I hadn't been online to even see that CCR had won against VU and I see that I'm beeing challenged by Pearl Jam. Sticky with basically the same line up. Proud Mary has little to be proud of from her first round showing so she grabs a seat on the bench.

Lookin' Out My Back Door
Susie-Q
Down on the Corner
Green River
Up Around the Bend
Bad Moon Rising
Have You Ever Seen The Rain
Fortunate Son
Who'll Stop the Rain?
Born on The Bayou
