The Herd: Rock Band Bracket

I'm not a huge fan of Colin Cowherd's radio show. I'll listen to it on occasion...but prefer to listen to the local Houston shows. But Colin is doing something that had the guys in my office screaming at each other...a March Madness bracket style rock band tourney.

Please keep in mind...I did not make this list. Colin and his staff came up with it and there were no "set-in-stone" criteria for qualifying. That being said...it is somewhat fun arguing the validity of one band against another and their particular seeding. Feel free to post your picks...but if you want to participate, click on the link and go through each match-up and select your choice.

I'll post Colin's official updates as they are released (for those of you too lazy to follow them).
