Which MLB playoff team has the best taste in music?

Which songs are jamming while the players step to the plate? Billboard recently ran this list of each team’s walkup music. Between the four playoff teams—the Baltimore Orioles, Kansas City Royals, San Francisco Giants and St. Louis Cardinals—which one has the best taste in music?

Surprisingly, there are some good choices in here: Coheed And Cambria, Anberlin, Rage Against The Machine, White Zombie, Arctic Monkeys and more.

Most players have one walkup song, but if you’re Erik Krats, you just had to have two Skillet songs. Check out the full list below via Billboard, and let us know your thoughts.
