Fourth Cellar Field of 64: Rock bands - Page 5

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?

Undertoad · 04-18-2006, 09:26 PM

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.

lumberjim · 04-18-2006, 09:29 PM

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!>?#$%@)(*&

lumberjim · 04-18-2006, 09:30 PM

fa....loyd

Rock Steady · 04-18-2006, 09:34 PM

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.

04-18-2006, 09:38 PM

Unanimous for the Pinkster!

JayMcGee · 04-18-2006, 09:45 PM

no contest.... Pink Floyd...

Rock Steady · 04-18-2006, 09:57 PM

"... by the way, which one's Pink?"

Rock Steady · 04-18-2006, 10:04 PM

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.

Undertoad · 04-18-2006, 10:11 PM

Pink Floyd wins.

10,000 Maniacs (8)
vs
Crosby Stills and Nash (9)
