[slick]

For the provisional round, rank your top 5 artists from 1-5. The top 8 artists will advance to the next round. Here are the 32 artists in the next genre.... 90's Pop. Enjoy!

Ace Of Base
Alanis Morissette
Annie Lennox
Barenaked Ladies
Better Than Ezra
Color Me Badd
Cornershop
Dave Matthews Band
Fiona Apple
Goo Goo Dolls
Hanson
Hootie & The Blowfish
Lauryn Hill
Lisa Loeb
Marcy Playground
Mariah Carey

Savage Garden
Seal
Sheryl Crow
Smashmouth
Spin Doctors
The Spice Girls
The Wallflowers
Third Eye Blind
TLC
Toad The Wet Sprocket
Toni Braxton
Tonic
U2
Will Smith
Wyclef Jean

*****Note.... I know people are going to comment on U2 being in this genre, but I had to shuffle around some of the heavyweights and this genre was lacking in those, so I figured this was their best fit. I did entertain the possibility of moving Beck and Oasis and a few others but I did not.

So many groups I listened to when I was in middle school...

1. Fiona Apple
2. Sheryl Crow
3. U2 (90s?)
4. Alanis Morisette
5. Spice Girls (Ignore the stupid gimmicks. They actually had some pretty decent songs.)

[John]

Guilty pleasure round I'm glad U2 is in this round because they don't bump any band I truly care about. Even though I don't like U2 I do somewhat like War so I have to put them in the top 5 here. Wyclef probably would have been #1 if he was one and done with Carnival but the rest of the albums after that almost dropped him out of the top 5.

1. Third Eye Blind
2. Fiona Apple
3. U2
4. Ace Of Base
5. Wyclef Jean

Suggestion is to create a "squeezed out" genre and take nominations through the last week of other genres and make the squeezed out genre the last one we vote on.

That could be fun.

That would be fun... I kind of wish I built that into the tournament because there are a number of "stacked" genres where a number of artists that should advance don't. Future UMT's will have this built-in feature!!!
