View Full Version : The Tournament of Bands

You heard it right folks! This 128 slot tournament holds a vast amount of bands who members have chosen as the 128 best. (I took the choices from the music forum back when I was compiling a huge list). I'm sure there will be some amazing band left out, and if that's the case, we'll see what we can do, but in the meantime, make sure to vote on your favorite band, because there is bound to be some epic confrontation arriving very, very soon. Commence the HDC Bands of Choice Tournament!

And Return, I stole the idea of putting two dominators up in the first round from the old horror movie tournament, where Yellow Jacket put Dawn of the Dead against TCM. Knocked out one of them right off the bat. This is a war, after all.

Elvis, easily for me. I was just listening to the original Little Less Conversation and thinking about how ahead of its time the song sounded.
As far as the Beatles go, I voted for them because I thought their music was more varied and had more depth than the Stones' stuff. To each their own right?

I like the Beatles, but ACDC sucks. And even though they haven't had a big single in years, the hard rock station up here still insists on playing their shit from the 80s and early 90s like twice an hour. Fuckin' maddening.

hmmmm - AC/DC's Black Ice (2008 release) debuted at #1 in 29 countries including the US, UK, Canada, Germany, etc. etc. The album has sold about 2 million in the US alone and is still in the top 15 in the US after about 11 weeks in the charts . . .

Are you basing this off of heresay and the stuff you hear on the radio? Have you ever given albums like Revolver or Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band a spin? I just can't see how you can listen to the breadth and musical ingenuity on albums like that and say it's just hippy music or bland love songs.

Elvis should not even be in this tournament, because he is a performer and not a band per se.
If he is in and goes ahead to win over AC/DC, then other performers like Buddy Holly, Ray Charles, Little Richard, Chuck Berry, Aretha Franklin, Marvin Gaye, Bob Dylan, Stevie Wonder, Simon and Garfunkel, Tina Turner, Johnny Cash, Elton John, Rod Stewart, Neil Young, Frank Zappa, David Bowie, Van Morrison, Billy Joel, Bruce Springsteen, Eric Clapton, Paul Simon, Isaac Hayes, George Harrison, even Carlos Santana stake a claim to be included.
And rename the tournament to something else other than Tournament of "Bands".

No, Ive never picked up a Beatles album, I've never had a desire to. Ive seen the Yellow Submarine movie, heard all the songs on that album. meh. my next door neighbors as a child, their favorite band was the Beatles, so I'd hear it all the time. We (my next door neighbors and I) had a little childhood rivalry. The stones were my thing and the Beatles were theirs, and we'd always dis on each other about it. To sum it up, it doesn't feel like Rock and Roll to me, it doesn't click with me, it doesn't make me feel exited inside like most R&R does. Every time i hear "All you need is love" with that chant 'love, love, love" I cringe. I can't stand it. and Yellow Submarine? it sounds like a children sing-a-long song. Revolution is the only song by them that I almost like. The Beatles sound like a pop band from the 60's, which is what it was. imo it doesn't have the heart that the Stones do. sure, its got social and political significance, whatever, so does Bob Dylan, who whoops their ass.

You should have listed Elvis as Elvis and The TCB Band, like Bob Seger would be Bob Seger and The Silver Bullet Band or Bruce Springsteen would be Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band.
