The last first round matchup in the South Regional -- 1st seed KYSR of Los Angeles (yet another Clear Channel station) meets #16 seed WIIS who boasts that it located in the smallest market of any alternative rock station. They beat WARQ of Columbia, SC.
Best of 10, songs from their playlist, head to head
Both stations open with year songs KSRY with 1979 -- SMASHING PUMPKINS, WIIS with 1983 -- NEON TREES. 1989 never gets old. KSRY jumps out to an early lead.
Here's the rest -- KYSR on the left WIIS on the right
I WANT YOU TO -- WEEZER VS. BARRICADE -- INTERPOL One of my favorite Weezer songs, but extra credit to WIIS for playing Interpol. I'll give this to WIIS.
IF I HAD EYES -- JACK JOHSNON VS. ERECTION -- THE FAINT Gave The Faint a chance. Wasn't impressed. KYSR leads 2-1
RING OF FIRE -- SOCIAL DISTORTION vs. RECKONER -- RADIOHEAD. One of those Radiohead songs that gets airplay for a while and drops off the face of the earth. Definitely did not deserve it and I was happy to hear it on the radio again. Tie score
DOG DAYS ARE OVER -- FLORENCE AND THE MACHINE VS. YOU GOT ME -- CRASH KINGS KYSR regains the lead.
INTERSTATE LOVE SONG -- STONE TEMPLE PILOTS VS. GREATEST COMEBACK SINCE LAZARUS-- THE HOURS. One of life's great mysteries: why does STP still get airplay and the Replacements get none? Tied again.
EVERLONG -- FOO FIGHTERS VS. STYLO -- GORILLAZ. Gorillaz -- a cute idea that's outlived its usefulness KYSR leads 4-3
UNDERCOVER OF DARKNESS -- THE STROKES VS. DIGNITY -- NEW POLITICS No problem picking the Strokes. KYSR leads 5-3.
WHERE THE STREETS HAVE NO NAME -- U2 vs. FALLING AWAY -- Hugh Wilson (? -- Not certain) Unfortunately, they don't announce song titles in the Internet stream and there's no place on the website to look it up, so I'm making an educated guess at what WIIS was playing, No matter KYSR upsets WIIS and goes on to Round 2
