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 (1)
vs
White Zombie (16)

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)
