2011 Paug Band March Madness

[lifeboy13]

If they're both eligible, it'll be  beating  in the finals.  I can't see it any other way on this forum.

Put them in the same regional !

Eb,

You will get way more than 64 bands from us.  How will you decide which make it to the bracket of 64?

[guyforget]

i dont mind the decemberists, and my wife quite likes them, but theyre certainly not in my top 16 bands ever.


but whats the contest, here?  the one i mentioned earlier (surely someone else here remembers this, too?) was concert/live performance specific. 


best show vs. best ever is obv a very different debate.

If I'm not mistaken, it'll be the 64 that receive the most votes.

Yeah I guess it's relatively safe to say that 64 bands will get more than one vote.  But if, say, only 50 bands get more than one vote, then the rest (which will have equal votes) will be selected how?

I'm not so sure.  I am really hoping that we have enough entries to come up with at least 64 bands.  They can be any genre, any time period.  I think if you really dig deep and think of bands from years past, there should be no problem.  If I hit that wall, then I will probably use a poll or discussion method.

I don't think it has to be concert/live performance specific. 

Similar to how the bracket selection is somewhat subjective, especially for at large bids, which these all will be.  I think the "body of work," "road wins," etc. all play a part.  If you think Michael Jackson should get a shot, put him in.  I mean he is the King of Pop and an amazing career of albums, conversely, Keller Williams is a touring one man "team" that has a consistent playing style, but occassionally can step up on the "big stage" and deliver. 

Hope this makes it clear as mud.

Decemberists are not good.  I don't know why so many people think they are.

Thoughts on leaving Phish out of the brackets??

I think we should leave them out.  The chances of them not winning this is remote, which in turn, defeats the purpose of doing the brackets,  Either way, I'm in!

Poll added.  I'm game for either option.

I voted "yes". It'll be interesting to see who upsets them..

no one will upset them...this board does exist because of the    right?

I voted no

good idea w/ the poll Uncle E

[PIE-GUY]

I voted yes because, while Phish is my favorite band, they are not the greatest band of all time. I think they could lose along the way.

[gah]

I voted yes for the same reason.

[WhatstheUse?]

I vote 'no' on da Phish being in the brackets.  How could they not win?  They ARE the greatest band of all time.

Its all about the upsets man! Don't you want to see who might knock them out?
