The Tournament of Rock: Play-in round (Vote for 5)
47 bands have made the field. 17 of the remaining 72 will make it in. Please vote for ONLY FIVE out of the list. Out of laziness, I have left "The" off of all band names that employ it.
 As a general guideline, I'd prefer that you vote BEFORE looking at results. Last edited by Kodos : 10-28-2007 at 11:46 PM. |

Whew. Had to read the first post for this to make sense. AC/DC doesn't make it? G'n'R doesn't make it? Pat Benetar? Stevie Wonder?
Ah, but 47 bands have already made it. Makes sense now. |

Your nomination was the only one. Every group in this list got a single nomination. The field of 47 that made it in already each has at least 2 nominations. I was sad that certain groups like Scorpion and Motley Crue didn't get nominated, but dems da breaks. |

I like Soundgarden, but that's a pretty impressive list of bands there and we were limited to just 5 votes. If we had 7 or 8, they would have made the cut for me in this vote. |

With the number of Red Sox fans on the forums I'm guessing alot of them also have become dropkick murphy fans too. Personally I only know two of their songs myself though (the one from the Departed and this new one State of Massachusetts). I like the one from departed, but not the other one. |

Shew. I'm glad I nominated CCR -- they are clearly winning the play-in and apparently were *that close* to not making it. Quote:

Well, CCR isn't "winning", but they are definitely in the top 3.

I didn't vote for Seether (it was hard to pick five), but I like the way gkb is thinking.

http://www.operationsports.com/fofc/...ad.php?t=61667 Let me point you to the nomination thread. If a group isn't there that you think should be, well... you only have yourself to blame for not nominating them. FWIW, I was disappointed that Boston didn't get nominated either.

No love for Seether and only a little love for Staind. I'm ok with that though, given the great bands already nominated neither one had any chance of winning.

Correction Note:
Us over 40 crew forget that some of don't know SRV is Stevie Ray Vaughan, so you've got him twice. Has anyone seen my bifocals?

Kodos, quit drinking.
SRV is already in, so all the revelation does means that there is one less nominee for the last 17 slots. |

So does this include rap or not? Because if it does and Public Enemy doesn't get in, I'm going to punch my cat.
If you all feel a little twinge of guilt later and don't know why, that's it.

Run DMC and Beastie Boys did incorporate some rock elements into their music. But for the most part, I agree.
