Music Battle Bracket Final

New Bands Finalist vs. Old Bands Finalist

Red Hot Chili Peppers
The Beatles

The final battle between the old bands and the new bands will be 2 days long.

[Stonecutter]

Ok, how do you not have king crimson in that battle? They're in your sig ferchrissakes, and belong in that grouping way more than Johnny Cash, U2, The Velvet Underground, The Residents, and Bob Marley.


As does ELO, Wings, ELP, The Moody Blues and, most of all GENESIS!

Hey hey, 1500!

We're sorry that not every band could be included. :\ There was a ton of new bands I wanted to put in...but there wasnt any room for them. :( Perhaps in the coming years another Music Battle can be held, with a complete different set of bands.

[The Germanator]

I'm glad that The Residents snuck in there. Some of the best strange music ever.

I wanted to put King Crimson, ELO, Wings, and The Moody Blues in...but like I've said many times...you just can't fit everyone. I was trying to put a mainstream perspective in there..with a few that weren't known as well. It was hard..and I'm sorry. I also thought about putting Genesis on..but, *shrugs*..not much I could do about it.

[Joeiss]

Cool brackets. My personal favourite is Zeppelin... It will be cool to see how every band does though.

CSNY is sick too, because I can only assume that it includes all of their individual music, before and after.

Well, my point wasn't to say that "here are bands that I would have liked to have seen in the battle" but just to put bands that fit in more with the genre of the other bands you picked.

Alright..well I do agree with you there. If I had the list in a better fitting way, I would have probably done it something like this...

The Beatles
The Who
Creedence Clearwater Revival
Pink Floyd
The Eagles
Elton John
Queen
The Rolling Stones
Led Zeppelin
Lynyrd Skynyrd
Simon & Garfunkel
The Beach Boys
Eric Clapton
The Doors
Aerosmith
Boston
Chicago
Cream
CSNY
David Bowie
Doobie Brothers
ELO
Guess Who
Jefferson Airplane/Starship
Jethro Tull
Jimi Hendrix
King Crimson
Kiss
Steppenwolf
BTO
The Moody Blues
Yes

I suppose there are a few more that could fit in there like ELP, Genesis, Three Dog Night, Buffalo Springfield, Turtles, The Clash, Van Halen(those two are kind of different though), BOC, Animals, Allman Brothers Band..and I think a few more. I was trying to make it an "Old Band" bracket..but I would have much rather done just Classic Rock. Choosing only 32 bands can be tough though.

Edit: 700th post, woohoo. I'm coming slowly, but I think I'll make 1000 one of these days.

[Joeiss]

Woah, I didn't even notice Van Halen wasn't on the list! That is a travesty!

[Typhoid]

Haha, yes it is, quite the travesty indeed.

It has no (IMO) good bands ( yes it has some, but it could have dont with more)

I will admit, i like the second bracket you posted better, but too bad you didn't use it.






*shakes fist*






















*shakes fist harder*

I can't please everyone..


I suppose I could switch a few bands. I don't really think Bob Marley and U2 should be in there either..that was Bond's suggestion. I agree with Stoney that they don't fit in with the genre of music. So do you think I should change a few, since the battle is only on the first two battles?

If I do that, then I'll put Van Halen in place of U2, and either King Crimson or ELO in place of Bob Marley. Sorry Bond, I they were your choices..but they just don't fit. So if anyone thinks I should do that, let me know. I don't know if that's considered unfair since we already started this whole thing.

Ah screw it, I'll just change it now. I'm in charge of this thing, so I'll just do it.

[Typhoid]

Find a spot for Sloan. They're a good band. I think they might only be a Canadian band though. But Vampyrs heard a couple of their songs. regardless, put them in. Do it now!!!! :mad: :mad: :cool:

Old or new? I don't really have any space for Old Bands anymore, other than the ones that Germy put. All of the bands that are there are good enough. Other than that, I do'nt know if I can change it. I don't know which new band to change it with, and I think that the battle is fine at as it is.

Besides that...I put in Van Halen for you! I didn't do it mainly for you though...I didn't think that U2 and Bob Marley fit in there, just as Stonecutter was saying. Just be glad that I changed a few things, and don't be selfish.

[The Germanator]

Don't worry about any of it Zebra...I mean, you made a contest with 64 bands, it's impossible include some bands that EVERYBODY likes...I think you should just stick to how it is and completley new bands can be in the next one (if you feel like doing a new one.) There's no point in arguing about who should be in there or whatever...the list is there and we'll just vote on it how it is.

Yeah..I know. Thanks though, at least someone understands.

[The Germanator]

Though now that I think about it, I do have a complaint!
Only one hip-hop group in the battle. I know a lot of people dislike hip-hop, but it can be very good if you find the right pocket of artists. So, yes, I'm contradicting myself by now posting an issue I have with the battle, but...eh...screw it.

[Null]

its understandable

but put in his whatever band against tom petty. :D (muhahahaha)


the old bands are fairly decent. i have more probs with the new ones. altho in his defence, newer good bands are harder to think up.

[Vampyr]

i have more probs with the new ones.

Well, you have to keep in mind that modern music spans a huge variety of genre's, with an immense selection from each. If I had created a bracket of all of MY favorite bands, the bracket would be much different.

A few of the bands in my bracket were on your list of "good" bands that you posted in another thread. I think that's fair. There was no concievable way for me to include all of them, I had to pick a few bands from different categories, hoping I would get at least one band that everyone liked. I realize that we are only 3 matches into the tournement, but none of the bands I've chosen have yet to get zero votes, so that means I'm doing a good job so far. I havnt presented a band that no one likes yet.

[ZebraRampage]

Who's the whatever band you're referring to?

[Null]

Who's the whatever band you're referring to?
hehe, was kidding. but was talkin bout ty's Sloan he wanted in there.

[ZebraRampage]

Yeah, I knew you were kidding, I just wasn't sure which band you were talking about, since I wasn't sure which person you were referring to.

[Typhoid]

And Sloan isnt an old band, They're semi-new, they've been around for about 10 years, but are still making music, i don't really think that classifies as old...

[ZebraRampage]

Well, that's good. I'm not in control of the New Bands bracket.

[Null]

yea but, so are a lot of bands. lol

Aerosmith has been around for over 20 years, and still making music.

i dunno. you'd have to have a cut off year for what you consider old and whats new.

[Canyarion]

We forgot Staind. :love:

[Vampyr]

We forgot Staind. :love:

Well, I had a large list of possible bands to include...and they were on it, the just didnt make it to the bracket. :\

[Null]

We forgot Staind. :love:


thank GOD staind isnt there. theres already enough horrible bands on the list.

[ZebraRampage]

I'm glad that I did this. Since Vampyr put all the newer bands, maybe I'll see what they're like for once. I also love to talk about all the classic rock bands that I listen to. I still need to get more Who and Zeppelin albums. :unsure:

[ZebraRampage]

I have the round 2 bracket ready to be posted, with the exception of the last two battles, but those bands will be easy to add in. I could actually start round 2 today, so I'll just post the round 2 bracket in place of the round 1 bracket in the first post of this topic. Vampyr, let me know if you can start round 2 today.

Edit: Okay, Vampyr and I are going to wait till tomorrow to start round 2. We're both busy tonight, but I will get the Round 2 Bracket up..because I think I can pretty much guess who will win the last two battles.

[Canyarion]

:eek:
We got a major breach here: we forgot U2!!!!!!!!!!!! :(

[ZebraRampage]

:eek:

I had U2 in the battle.....lol..
but they don't fit well with the old bands I put. It was hard trying to fit bands in that would appeal to everyone, and still work with the battle.

Anyway...it's the second round and you're just noticing this?

[ZebraRampage]

I predicted when the battle started that the final four for the old bands would be The Beatles, The Who, Led Zeppelin, and The Rolling Stones. It looks like that's what it will be..but that's not necessarily bad. :)

[Canyarion]

I come to realise now that I miss ABBA. :distress:

[ZebraRampage]

You can make this not sticky now Bond..
