Sonic Youth are so irrelevant it's disgusting.

And Saosin are generic "emo" garbage

Between The Buried And Me turned extreme music on it's head when they release their self-titled album. They've done more for music than anyone in this poll (except Tom Waits, but I like BTBAM better)

Sonic Youth irrelevant? You fool

Tom Waits is God.

Saosin yay!

Very few of their last 5-6 albums did anything different than the formula they'd been espousing for years. I'm not saying that they're a bad band (I don't like them but I can appreciate what they've done for modern music), however in today's music scene they are of little or no consequence.

Sonic Youth wins

This egregious sin will not be forgotten musicbanter. I will curse this forum with my death.

Its not that bad, i've decided to throw in 2nd place winners just so we instead of getting an odd 25 bands I get an even 50.

...
wait theres 26 letters in the alphabet <.<

/is going to discuss this with a select few members to work something out.

We still get an even number, instead of 50 we'd get 52, split this evenly somehow.

13 polls of 4?

Yes that'll work.
