Battle of the (Chicago) bands

Over the summer, we brought you a Sweet 16 tournament to crown the best Chicago TV show ever.

• Hundreds of you voted for the winner, "E.R."

What's happening: We're crowning the best Chicago rock band of all time this month.

• That's a tall order with groups like The Smashing Pumpkins, Styx or Earth Wind & Fire (which Monica thinks belongs in a future R&B category — do you?).
• But we know you're up to the challenge.

🎸 So we've started with the top 16 bands, and throughout the week, you'll help narrow down the winners until we have one band standing.

• Vote in the first round!
