Ladies and Gentlemen... your Rock Bands Cellar Field of 64
Take a breath, look over the selections... they have been seeded carefully for your maximum enjoyment. So many of the top seeds were British that I put mostly Americans into the West. Major Aussie seeds go in the South of course. |
man. i was about to lose my shit. i came straight to the above post, went to the grid, and saw cake....and not metallica. but then, reading back, saw that i missed the bus...bad timing. oh well.....democracy isnt for everyone.
go zeppelin! 3rd seed, ut, you prick? |
No way man it was the voters choice i only pick the division. And I think you think I may have been helpful in that regard if you go back and look at the field.
|
Help me out, somebody. This is the first 64 I've participated in ... how/where do we vote?
|
Well the first round is usually pretty grueling since there are 32 matches to play. What happens is that we go in order, I announce the beginning of the match in my post by writing
"such-n-such vs so-n-so" And then you post your vote. My guess is this will be more popular than landmarks, and so let's go with best-of-5, repeat voting allowed. Since it's best-of-five, once three votes are recorded for a side, no need to vote further. You may record your pleasure or displeasure with a result, and you may argue for a side during a match. As always I am the Final Arbiter, and am drunk with power over what is clearly nothing more than a friendly competition. Let the games begin with my next post. |
|
PINK FLOYD
|
yeah, i know. i was just funnin ya. zeppelin is so huge that i think many people just assume they'll seed a one, and this whole thing will boil down to zep v. beatles. i was surprised is all. especially to see them seeded behind u2 and black sabbath? cripes. what's wrong with you people!>?#$%@)(*&
|
fa....loyd
|
There are some unfortunate matchups for some of my favorite bands. Talking Heads vs Clash? R U kidding me? Some other loser band makes it into the sweet sixteen instead of one of those two.
|
Unanimous for the Pinkster!
|
no contest.... Pink Floyd...
|
"... by the way, which one's Pink?"
|
The Beatles aren't a rock band, they're a Pop Group. I hate zep, but I'm not going to vote for the opposing band unless I actually like the opposing band; otherwise I'll pass. I thought it would come down to Pink Floyd versus U2, but what do I know. See you on the dark side of the moon.
|
Pink Floyd wins.
10,000 Maniacs (8) vs Crosby Stills and Nash (9) http://cellar.org/fieldof64/64.php?field=bands |
10,000 Maniacs
I love Natalie Merchant. |
CSN.
The Beatles aren't a rock band but Natalie Merchant is? And I just realized who I forgot to nominate. Traffic. Not a travesty but still. |
10,000 Maniacs is a Folk Rock Band.
CSN is a pop-folk group. They don't play rock. |
I love Natalie, too. but 10k maniacs is nowhere near CSN
CSN! |
10,000! Damnit!
|
CSN
|
|
Who.
I can't believe I forgot to second them. "Won't get fooled again" |
WHO
|
WHO
|
The Who (Baba O'Reily)
|
|
Genesis (Gabriel!) ...both are good though
|
Peter Gabriel's Genesis
A lamb lies down on broadway |
Genesis
|
It's a moot point now, but Eurythmics over Genesis with Phil Collins. Genesis with PG was a totally different animal.

hey. wAIT A MINUTE. how in the hell did Van Halen NOT make it into the tournament?
also: CSN should be CSNY. i mean really. there's a big difference.....CSNY includes CSN's work. CSN excludes Mr Young. fix that UT? |
genesis

But if it were, they would win, hands down. |
Phil collins annoys me... I'll go with the girl. Get em Annie
|
I can see I'll have to stay up late to participate in this - it's all going on during UK beddy-byes time....
Some good pairings UT - hope I'm around f(awake that is) or some of the harder choices... |
Genesis wins. (With or without Gabriel! Nobody has put together an album like Trick of the Tail, and Collins' drum sound, which was actually developed for Gabriel's third album, literally defined the 80s.)
REM (6) vs Doors (11) |
Doors.
how can you even ask? |
The Doors
|
Doors. (Nothing against REM, though.)
|
Doors win... score one for the drunken cheesy lounge singer.
Police (3) vs DEVO (14) http://cellar.org/fieldof64/64.php?field=bands |
Police
|
Police - Synchronicity rules
|
No fouls??
|
D-E-V-O
|
Good point about the fouls. Did I foul? Or are two in a row OK this time?
Feel free to ignore my vote if I fouled. |
I think it should only be a foul if Police win without your vote Glatt - that's fair isn't it?
|
Revotes are allowed this time.
|
Police
|
|
In that case:
ELO - class over arse. |
Sex Pistols
|
Doors won. Police beat DEVO.
What is a revote? You mean change a vote? Certainly the same person shouldn't vote twice in the same runoff. That seems ridiculous. |
Quote:
vote: Sex Pistols |
I think by 'revote' UT means that you can vote for the next pair that immediately follows - this was not permitted in the World Landmarks rules.
|
ELO
|
I'm going to say Sex Pistols, simply on the basis of impact.
|
ELO on the basis of not giving me a headache.
|
Sex Pistols
