Classic Rock Bottom

Okay BottomFeeders, March is rapidly approaching.  It's time for our Spring tournament.  We are gonna have a song tournament this time around.  How does that sound?  I took a survey a couple of weeks ago and received some great feedback and song ideas from several members.  I have compiled all of the data, added some of my own, subtracted some, did some division, and I have arrived at 65 classic rock songs with which to conduct our tournament.

 

This will officially be the inaugural Classic Rock Bottom Spring Tournament.  What that means to you and me is that we'll probably have a yearly Classic Rock Bottom Fall Tournament as well.  But that's a few months away, so right now we'll discuss the Spring tourney. 

 

As I said earlier, we have 65 songs.  That means we'll start with a "play in" game to determine the 64th song in the tournament.  Does that make sense to you?  I hope so.  And I have two mammoth songs to battle it out for a spot in the tournament.  I'll post those two here today, and voting will be open now through the end of February.  The winner of this game will take it's place in the tournament, which will start on March 1st.  I'll post one of four brackets on each of the first 4 days of March.  The brackets are:

 

Classic Ballads (well known classic rock ballads)

Classic Riffs (well known classic songs with great riffs)

Classic Rockers (well known classic songs that really rock)

Classic Hidden Gems (classic songs that aren't well known by the general public)

 

The brackets will be open for voting for several days.  Once the initial round is finished, I'll post subsequent rounds in a fashion that will help us finish the tourney by the end of March.  The tournament will run for the entire month of March.  We'll crown a champion at the end of March.

 

Hope that sounds good to everybody.  I also hope that we get a lot of participation.  The more votes, the better and more democratic the outcomes.  By the way, you can vote in one of two ways.  You can respond to this message with your vote, or you can find the tournament in the Classic/Modern Rock Talk section of the forum.  Below are the contestants for the play in game.  Everybody vote and have fun!!!

Only 1?!!
Why can't I delete this reply? Don't take notice of it.

I am completely lost..... 

Niels was at a loss for why he only has 1 hidden gem to link (if we were to link them) when he submitted 5 of them to me for my survey.  Then he wished he wouldn't have said it but couldn't delete it for some reason.

Oh, from that list we sent. I got it.
No swaying the judge ......
Free Bird
Free Bird all the way!
Lynyrd Skynyrd - - Free Bird!! Hands down it's still got the best guitar solo of any song!!...(well...one of THE best)
Hotel California.

Okay folks, voting is now closed for the "Play In" game.  And we have a winner!  Free Bird dominates Hotel California by a final vote of 9-4. 

 

Thanks to everybody for voting.  Be sure to check in tomorrow for the first bracket to be posted.
