MRR March Madness CHDI v. KTEG

#4 Seed CHDI is Edmonton, Alberta's Modern Rock station and a pretty good one too. # 13 seed KTEG is your standard issue Clear Channel station from Albequeque, only with lower ratings than such a station usually gets. So -- usual rules if you've been following head to head best of ten songs pulled off their actual playlists at about the same time. Let's see how this plays out.

CHDI srarts off with GRACE TOO -- TRAGICALLY HIP Not the best track by them, but KTEG will have to make more than a token play here -- WHERE ITS AT -- BECK. KTEG is starting off strong here.

CHDI's songs will remain on the left ...

KIDS --MGMT VS.WELCOME TO THE FAMLY -- AVENGED SEVENFOLD MGMT's best track so far owerwhelms KTEG's entry
I FEEL YOU -- SAM ROBERTS BAND VS. EVERLONG -- FOO FIGHTERS Just can;t vote against teh Foos best song. KTEG 2-1
LAST RESORT -- PAPA ROACH VS. UNDISCLOSED DESIRE -- MUSE. Meh. I refuse to pick a winner. It's a draw.
ONE MORE ASTRONAUT -- I MOTHER EARTH VS. RIPTIDE -- SICK PUPPIES. Score one for Canadian content. Tied 2-2
ALL APOLOGIES -- NIRVANA VS. LONGVIEW -- GREEN DAY One of Kurt Cobain's more personal songs has aged better than Green Day's bratty potty mouthed "Longview"
STADIUM LOVE -- METRIC VS. ANIMAL -- NEON TREES. It's a close one but Neon Trees wins this one for KTEG Tied Again.
STILL WAITING -- SUM 41 VS. KRYPTONITE -- 3 DOORS DOWN. Not as dire as 3 DAYS GRACE. Just boring. SUM 41's metallic pop punk rules here. CHDI 4-3
CHANGING -- AIBORNE TOXIC EVENT vs. WAITING FOR THE END -- LINKIN PARK. CHDI clinches a second round berth with a solid win in the late going.

First round action continues with WBOS MEETING up with WRRV.
