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

Here is the official bracket. Vote for one in each matchup. The one with the most votes moves on to the second round. It works just like the NCAA Tournament. But for those of you that don't understand, the winner of 1/16 plays 8/9, 5/12 plays the winner of 4/13, 6/11 plays 3/14, and 7/10 plays 2/15, and so on. And the winner of each bracket goes on to the Final Four, to the final 2, and then a champion. With bands that had the same number of votes, a random sorting was done to determine seeding. We'll allow 4 days for each round, so get your votes in! In the event of a tie in a game I will keep the round going an additional day until there are no more ties. Also, in honor of this being Joe's house, each of the 4 brackets is named after one of his famous guitars. I am posting this as of 8:30 AM Thursday morning, so voting will end on 8:30AM Monday morning! Happy voting!

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

some of the matchups are just impossible, here goes:

Magellan - Zep, Derek Trucks, Buddy Guy, Frank Z (tough one, Zappa with a buzza beata), J Beck, Sabbath, C Duarte, Rush

P Skinner - the Dead, Tedeschi-Trucks, Beth Hart, Free, Thin Lizzy, Govt Mule, Little Feat, J Tull (in a huge upset lol )

Babe - SRV/DT, Indigenous, Robert Cray, Rory, Tom Petty, Allman Bros, Neil Young, Jimi (but Eric got one of the bad seeds)

Goldie - Who, Stones, Skynyrd, Beatles (13?), KWS, Deep Purple, Freddie King, S Wonder (easily the toughest one to pick for me)

could we possibly have had Bonnie Raitt vs Robben Ford for a "play-in" game? smile

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

Yeah, the Beatles puzzled me. They only got 2 votes. They barely snuck in.

Hey gary,

You didn't vote for the Govt Mule/Camel, Clapton/Jethro Tull, or the Skynyrd/Springsteen matchups. You can still submit those if you'd like.
