The Velvet Underground
BEA Rank: 10
BEA Best Album: The Velvet Underground & Nico (1967) - ranked #13
A comment from the members of BEA: "The best art rock for sure. Andy Warhol's influence is interesting. I think they were a bit pretentious, but at the same time The Velvet Underground And Nico album is Bohemia at it's best. " sethmadsen (01/2012)

Sonic Youth
BEA Rank: 39
BEA Best Album: Daydream Nation (1988) - ranked #46
A comment from the members of BEA: "Daydream Nation and The Diamond Sea would be enough to select these guys of one of the all time greats. But honestly, SIster, EVOL, Bad Moon Rising and even the recent Rather Ripped... Just kind of impressive." Seanzey B Goode (02/2012)

The Ramones
BEA Rank: 99
BEA Best Album: Ramones (1976) - ranked #124
A comment from the members of BEA: "Yes, start with the "best of" packages. However, once you've bought the compilation albums, you'll definitely want more. For those who crave even more Ramones, make your next purchase their first album. Want even more? TOO TOUGH TO DIE and END OF THE CENTURY are both excellent additions to RAMONES.

[b]The battles are becoming intense...

[Wombi]

Ramones are the only band here I actually despise - so London gets my vote. But then Kim Gordon...

[Polythene Pam]

Wow, ahh... hmm


I am really not sure, all great bands

🤔

[Hermes_requite]

Even though it's team was abandoned by it's manager I must go with London.

[Hayden]

New York for the win 😎

NYC for me, as I don't like Led Zeppelin. I see NYC winning the whole thing.

The easiest choice of the tournament : NY !

[alelsupreme]

London. Velvet Underground is good and ramones/youth are alright but the stones and zeppelin? the clah was just icing on the cake.

[HigherThanTheSun]

I think Ramones let New York down, there's plenty of bands/artists you could replace the Ramones with and it'd be an easy decision to vote NY.

At the moment though I'm not sure.

Probably the two strongest teams of the tourney right here.
