You want the troof? Napster saved rock. File-sharing has brought so much more awareness to independent label music. Instead of being force-fed the major label bullshit on major radio and MTV, people could easily share bands doing innovative stuff. File-sharing and blogging are the worst things to happen to the music industry, but one of the best things to happen to music.

Gotta give a shout out to YouTube as well. I can't imagine how empty my life would be had I not been able to experience Rebecca Black's Friday! :D

FYI, I'll leave this heat open until tomorrow morning to give our weekday posters a chance to vote, and Heat 9 will get shut down in the afternoon.

This was a runaway shut er down now.

Cool. That'll give Alice In Chains a chance to overtake Joan Jett...

Eh, screw it. We've got over 100 voters. 73 of you killed Joan Jett, and that's going to be on your heads for the rest of the Rock N Poll tournament. Damn you.

Moving on are:

Sweet Child O' Mine
Smells Like Teen Spirit
Won't Be Fooled Again

(Sigh.)
