Spinoff from the other thread, it was decided to compile a bracket to determine the best artist/group of the 90s.

Vote based on their music from the 90s (ie Alabama shouldn't be rewarded by their 80s success and Toby Keith/Trace Adkins/Tim McGraw shouldn't be penalized for "selling out" in the 00s).

Place your votes, and by Wednesday I'll post round 2.

This doesn't make any sense at all in any universe.

What are the seedings based on? Your personal taste?

Do you not remember how insanely huge Shania Twain was for about 4 years?

Only Garth Brooks was bigger in the 90's...she exploded country into the pop market.

If Garth Brooks was Kentucky - she was Kansas.

I'm basing it off of quality, not popularity and air time. So, yes, personal taste played a lot into the rankings. A lot of Shania's popularity stemmed from the pop/crossover crowd. If I were to omit the word "country" from the title, she would've been seeded higher.
