Topic: March Madness! The forum's Favorite Band/Artist Bracket!

I've always wanted to do this! We're going to have a tournament to find out this forum's favorite band/artist besides Joe Bonamassa! First off, you guys need to name me your 10 favorite bands/artists (excluding Joe), any genre! Then, I'll count it up and pick the top 64 of that group, and then we will seed them according to how many votes they get, and then we'll vote on them March Madness style until we find the winner. I'll give everybody through Sunday night to nominate their favorites, and then I'll take 2 days to vote each round. I'll be keeping tabs on who is voting, so if you keep voting again and again, your additional votes just won't be counted.

Why exclude Joe? Because let's face it, he'd win this thing hands down! We're all here for a reason right? So let's see who the 2nd favorite band/artist on this forum is!

So I'll start it off, my top 10 artists (excluding Joe). I'm just going to take what I've been listening to a ton of lately, because otherwise it would be too hard:

Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble
ZZ Top
Eric Clapton
The Foo Fighters
Jimi Hendrix
Kenny Wayne Shepherd
The Black Keys
Gary Clark Jr.
Creedence Clearwater Revival
Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers

Now go! Voting goes through Sunday! Each day, I'll give an update on the standings.

Re: March Madness! The forum's Favorite Band/Artist Bracket!

Had a lot of fun putting my list together.  However; became tougher than I imagined narrowing it down to 10.  Similar to others I ended up going with 10 that I am listening to a lot lately.  Here are mine:

Walter Trout
Royal Southern Brotherhood
Stevie Ray Vaughan
Ryan McGarvey
Bart Walker
Michael Burks
Tedeschi Trucks Band
Gary Moore
Indigenous (AKA Mato Nanji)
Robert Cray

Looking forward to seeing other's lists come through.  Really hard not to have Joe #1 on this list.
