Its Phish vs. MMJ and the current results, despite MY vote, are Phish 81% to MMJ 19%. Kinda looks like a Fox News poll on how many people think Obama is the spawn of Satan.
Phuck Phish!!! >:( ;)
(although I do like their B&J's ice-cream)
dude, Phish? really? I can't stand em! MMJ all the way!
Quotedude, Phish? really? I can't stand em! MMJ all the way!
You talkin' to me? I'm no fan o' Phish. Just reporting on the poll results (final result: 82 to 18).
Does anyone think that the name "My Morning Jacket" retards their popularity? I sometimes get the impression, when I'm trying to turn someone on the their music, they have trouble getting past the name.

Totally bro. I find that people are like "who? my morning what?" If people don't know about them they have trouble getting past the name. Maybe I will just introduce them as The Jacket or MMJ from now on.
Phish has a lot of loyal (unemployed) fans so it makes sense they would win this stupid bracket thing. I used to not like Phish until I saw them live at MSG this past December. They are great muscians. A little silly but they can play. Lots of energy. There dirty hippie fans have nothing on MMJ fans though. We blow them away! :D

;D Google search Glenn Beck + crazy!!! Always a good time! I can only imagine what he has said since sunday's vote. I refuse to pay for fox news here in Canada, but it almost seems worth it just to watch his silly ass....this strayed off topic so...MMJ rocks!
WTF is MTV?

Yeah, I won't knock Phish as having something to draw the crowds. I picked up their most recent album and actually listened to it (hard to find space between MMJ listenings for other music lately). There's talent there, but I'm an 80's era Deadhead and Phish is a 90's era jam band. Can't explain the difference.
MMJ, on the other hand, is my 21st century rock band. They've just pulled together all the aspects of music I dig. But that's not to say they're not unique. What else can you say but "unique" about a band that conjures Neil Young, Pink Floyd, Aretha Franklin, Allman Brothers, Prince, etc. with something I can't quite put my finger on.
Eclectic, majestic, elastic, fantastic.

I think My Morning Jacket is a great name. Especially compared to Phish.
Sometimes people just look for excuses to be closed off to something. One time I met a chick who said she wouldn't listen to them because they had a bear of the cover of their album and she thought that was stupid. I'd say the band and the rest of us are better off without those kind of fans.

True that man! We don't need em! More jacket love for us!
my morning jacket is one of THE greatest band names of all time, 2nd only to dr. teeth and the electric mayhem, imho. you'd think that it'd intrigue people rather than put them off. but i get the latter reaction a lot. oh well, their loss!
mtv sucks anyway. no comment on phish.
I'm impressed no one commented on my use of the word "retard". Kudos to MMJ fans, a sophisticated bunch. I love the name, btw. Just think some people let superficial things like that get in the way of trying something new.

They have dropped "Music Television" from their logo.
hey, I love me some Phish, but if I ever had to vote on something that was 1 or the other, Itd be MMJ all the way
