ARR March Madness -- KYSR v. WXXJ

OK let's resume a feature I started last March. Round 2 of the South Regional #1 Seed KYSR of Los Angeles (who upset WIIS of Key West) meets # 8 Seed WXXJ of Jacksonville (who beat WROX of Norfolk/Virginia Beach.

KYSR leads off with YOU GOTTA FIGHT -- Beastie Boys WXXJ counters with WHAT IT'S LIKE -- EVERLAST It wasn't easy, but how can you deny the Beastie Boys party anthem?

Here's the rest. As always, best of 10

PUMPED UP KICKS -- FOSTER THE PEOPLE VS. COUGHT SYRUP -- YOUNG THE GIANT. How can you vote against a band that uses synchonized swimmers in their video? Tied 1-1
PERFECT SITUATION -- WEEZER V.ANOTHER BRICK IN THE WALL -- KORN There was a time when covering Pink Floyd badly would have resulted in mockery and derision on alternative radio. KYSR leads 2-1
UPRISING -- MUSE VS. CARELESS WHISPER -- SEETHER. There was a time when covering George Michael badly would have resulted in derision and mockery. Then Limp Biskit got away with it. Sorta. 3-1 KYSR.
BLISTER IN THE SUN -- VIOLENT FEMMES vs. WISH YOU WERE HERE -- INCUBUS. Not a bad Incubus song, but BLISTER IN THE SUN is a classic.4-1 KYSR.
YOUR'RE GONNA GO FAR KID -- OFFSPRING vs. SCREAMING BLOODY MURDER -- SUM 41 Offsping has just aged better. 5-1 KYSR
PLUSH -- STONE TEMPLE PILOTS VS. I WRITE SINS NOT TRAGEDIES -- PANIC AT THE DISCO. Please don't make me choose which song I hate less. Make it a tie, which means

KYSR in a landslide.
