Over at Scholars and Rouges they are doing a Tournament of Rock. If you love music and snarky comments, head over and follow as they go through the competition.
Here’s how it will work. There are 80 bands and artists and we have dumped them into 16 pods of five. Each pod contains one band we have informally seeded (although we didn’t kill a lot of brain cells trying to sort that out scientifically, either) and four others from the pool, selected more or less randomly (we did try and avoid pairing similar bands, so you won’t see multiple ’80s hair bands in the same pod for the most part). We’ll introduce them and you’ll use the poll at the bottom to vote on whoever your favorite is. Winners advance to the Sweet 16.
Generally speaking, Corporate Rock is all the big arena bands and/or commercial bands with little artistic merit. They’ve already got the first round up. The Huey Lewis Pod. It’s lots of fun, so join in. BTW, I don’t endorse anything they say, especially anything said outside of the Tournament, though it is frequently well said.
Supertramp FTW
You think so do you? This is only the first round, there’s a lot more to go!
