[RJhog (Admin)]

Attention Facebook users...You are invited to vote in this tournament.  You do not have to be a member of Classic Rock Bottom.  Just comment on this post with your votes.  I will count all votes. And feel free to join Classic Rock Bottom, it's always free.

Classic Rock Bottom members, please cast your votes now.  I'm starting one day early because I will not be able to post a bracket on Friday.  I'll post one bracket each day (excluding Friday) until all 4 brackets for Round 1 are posted.  I will leave the voting open for a couple of days only on each bracket, so vote early.  After voting is finished in all 4 brackets, I'll count the votes and post the brackets for Round 2.  

Thanks to Jon, Mike, Niels, Scott and TageRyche for helping me determine the participants.  All matchups were based on random draw.  Let the voting begin!

Holy crap, I'm too old for this game.

Or you guys have lousy taste in covers, lol!

Minority Mike, lol

[RJhog (Admin)]

Hey, the Beatles won...

[Mike Pell]

The Beatles were a layup, they HAD to win,

But so should Zappa, and dare I say it, lol,...Pink Floyd!

[RJhog (Admin)]

I guess that means you need to be sure and vote on the other brackets.

[Mike Pell]

You mean vote the opposite of what I actually like?
That might workl

But there are no cash prizes right, lol?

Hey, more New Orleans music coming in a bit.

Getting it together now.

Mike

[Jon]

Wait a second...Pinki Floyd LOST??? To Kiss??? Seriously? THERE'S A GUY ON FIRE and Kiss is just a drawring. That's right, A DRAWRING.

I'm kinda suprised that Lovedrive lost as well. Guess there's no love for bubblegum either.

And I'm with Mike on the Frank Zappa cover because a) I nominated it and b) it's really funny. Rzzzz!

[Mike Pell]

Jon, you made me laugh again.

You just have a "damn the torpedoes" way with words, lol!
Mike

I guess we should have called this the "pissing n' moaning 'cause my album cover lost" tourney.

[Jon]

Umm...Pinki Floyd? What was I thinkin'?

[Niels (Mod)]

I saw it, but it could be, that you thought is was a better name for the band

[Mike Pell]

RJ,

Aw, nobody's pissing n' moaning about album covers.

But what can you expect when you ask for people's opinions about anything?

I mean, I see that Van Halen defeated Fleetwod Mac by such a large margin (and BOTH album covers SUCK), and I feel it's not the covers that are being voted on, but the groups!

And if that is so, it makes the whole contest almost meaningless.

However Bracket 2 provided some real results that I found far more understandable.

We'll see how it goes.

Just my opinion...which I am always happy to give, lol!
Your friend,

Mike

[Niels (Mod)]

I agree, Mike, that it sometimes MIGHT be the bands, that are voted on, and not really the covers. I know I vote for the bands!!! Just kiddin'.

But would it had made any difference, if Ozzy's cover had been lighter, than the picture shown??

 

I do NOT moan, or anything, RJhog, okay, maybe a little bit, and I think you do a GREAT job, and I know it is quite a job, to "post" all those pictures of covers, but ........!
