It’s Musical March Madness! The sprawling bracket — both a parody and a tribute to the NCAA basketball tournament, masterminded by MTV News’ James Montgomery — takes the 65 biggest names in rock, splits them up into four regions, assigns them seeds and puts them up against one another in a single-elimination series of match-ups in a winner-take-all contest. We’re leaving it to you to decide an actual champ in this field of 65. Over the next few weeks, we will present a series of polls that will allow you to vote for the match-ups presented in MTV News’ Band Bracketology. You vote for the winners, we’ll keep advancing the seeds and, in the end, we’ll have some sort of champion. What will the winner receive? Little more than our esteem (as well as that of the fans) and some Internet bragging rights.
The finals are here! After a weekend full of high-stakes Final Four voting, we’re down to our final two teams.
My Chemical Romance vs. Coheed and Cambria
The only two bands left standing have, not surprisingly, some of the most devoted and loudest fans on the entire Internet. Each have a clear claim to the championship, but only will will stand supreme. You know how they got here, now it’s time to cast your vote. Who will be the champion of the MTV News Musical March Madness tournament?
