2 years ago I did a similar competition going the other way, trying to see which was the worst Clear Channel alternative station (Take a bow, Dayton's WXEG!. This is a bit of deja vu with two Clear Channel pseudo alt stations, but this time trying to suck less. WEND of Charlotte is the Number 6 Seed in the East and WRXL of Richmond is the Number 11 seed. All I have to say is thank goodness I'm not acutally listening to these sets.
WEND starts off with "I WILL NOT BOW -- BREAKING BENJAMIN WHILE WRXL counters with CREEP -- RADIOHEAD. Not much of a battle here. RXL wins the heat hands down.
WEND left side -- WRXL right side
OUTSIDE BY AARON LEWIS W/ FRED DURST VS. DIAMOND EYES -- SHINEDOWN Country singer covering Staind. Interesting. Shinedown? Not so much. Tie score.
HELP IS ON THE WAY -- RISE AGAINST VS. YOU'RE GONNA GO FAR KID -- OFFSPRING Both songs are a bit too ambitious for their own good. Gotta give the edge to Offspring though. RXL retakes the lead.
BYOB -- SYSTEM OF A DOWN VS. THE GOOD LIFE -- 3 DAYS GRACE. BYOB was the soundtrack for the disaffected soldiers of Bush's war. The Good Life was radio fodder for frat parties. Tied again.
WAITING FOR THE END -- LINKIN PARD VS. NEVER THERE -- CAKE Piece of cake. RXL 3-2.
YOU'RE GOING DOWN -- SICK PUPPIES vs. PORN STAR DANCING -- MY DARKEST DAYS Any song worse than Porn Star Dancing in 2010? Anyone? 3-3 tie
GLORIFIED G -- PEARL JAM VS. SANTA MONICA -- EVERCLEAR Hard to pick one, but I'll give the edge to Everclear for the lyrics 4-3 RXL
THROUGH GLASS -- STONE SOUR VS. SAY YOU'LL HAUNT ME -- STONE SOUR. "Through Glass" is their best song, hands down so it's tied again 4-4.
SO FAR AWAY -- AVENGED SEVENFOLD VS. HEMMORHAGE (IN MY HANDS)-- FUEL. I'll have to go with the b-list grunge. RXL
JUST LIKE YOU -- 3 DAYS GRACE VS. JARS -- CHEVELLE Awful vs. Awesome. WRXL Wins!
Next: South Regionals KBZT vs. KUCD
