Topic: 2nd Annual Joe Bonamassa Tournament of Champions
It's that time of year! As many of you remember, last year in the inaugural tournament, Jimi Hendrix beat Led Zeppelin for the crown. Here is the link to last year's thread: https://forum.jbonamassa.com/viewtopic.php?id=24214
Now I have made a change to this year's rules. Last year, you could nominate 10 artists for the tournament. This year you can nominate 20! Double the artists! With that said, here are the rules:
Nominate your 20 absolute favorite bands/artists regardless of genre, excluding Joe Bonamassa or any groups Joe is a part of (BCC, Beth & Joe, Rock Candy Funk Party, Bloodline, etc.). Let's face it, we all know Joe would win this tournament hands down if he were allowed to compete, so in honor of Joe, I named the tournament after him. If you nominate more than 20, I'll pick the first 20 listed. The top 64 bands/artists with the most votes will make the tournament, where we will vote on each matchup until we determine a champion March Madness-style!
I will start things off by listing my favorite 20 bands/artists (besides Joe):
Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble
ZZ Top
Eric Clapton
Foo Fighters
Jimi Hendrix
Kenny Wayne Shepherd
Robert Randolph & The Family Band
Gary Clark Jr
Tom Petty
John Mayer
Creedence Clearwater Revival
The Black Keys
Doyle Bramhall II
B.B. King
Albert Collins
Buddy Guy
Led Zeppelin
The Rolling Stones
Jonny Lang
Jeff Beck
Ready, set, and go! I'll keep the nomination voting going until Friday March 14 at 8pm cst! Happy voting!
