Do you think a 3 seed? 4 seed, or 5 seed is appropriate for Dylan? No lower than 5 fer sere.

I go the next 8 in myself

Thanks for input. I need help on this big time....

Bob Dylan should be a #1 seed before any other American act.

My #1s:

Beatles
Bob Dylan
Led Zeppelin
Pink Floyd

I can't argue against this, thanks for not including the beach boys...

Red Hot Chili Peppers should be a 7 seed or better.

Rush is a 4 seed or better.

 

[Nosferatu]

Grateful Dead

Most overrated band of all time...

 

[Berkeley_Blues]

Kinks and Velvet Underground are both 5 seeds or better.

(Neil Young should have a spot)

 

[PHISH_HEAD]

My #1 Seeds
Phish
The Who
Allman Brothers Band
Procol Harum
I've seen all four bands, in their prime, with their origional lineups:
Phish-June 7, 2010 @ Great Woods, Ma
Allman Bros Band@ the Old Fillmore East, June 26, 1971;8th row ; orcestra Duane was still alive then..Last public gig.
-#1 gig of all time.
The Who, at Tanglewood; Lenox Ma. July 7, 1970; 2nd row center#2 gig of all time
Procol Harum; Origonal linup, around 1968; when "Salty Dog" was released.My #4 gig of all time
As you can see, I'm baseing my gigs on the groups that I've seen-All with their origional personnel

 

[Nosferatu]

I think Queensryche and Judas Priest should be 5 seeds or higher. The Temptations need to be on the list somewhere. Simon and Garfunkel, Three Dog Night, Steve Miller, Yes, The Rascals, The Ramones, David Bowie, Hall and Oates, Dion and the Belmonts, Eric Clapton, Elton John, The Black Crowes, Billy Joel and Wings have to be considered. And how can we have a top 64 without KISS?

 

[Nosferatu]

A few more.

Supertramp
The Cars
Kansas
Scorpions
Free

 

[Berkeley_Blues]

I've got Springsteen as a solid 5 seed and Pearl Jam as a 10 Seed.

This can't be on personal fav's, Phish wouldnt be in the top 1000 for most people.

 

[Banned 10x]

haha, after thinking about it you're right, they don't belong on a top 64 list.

 

[MrMoJoRisin63]

Springsteen sucks ass.

Alice in Chains should make the list.

Where is AC/DC?
SRV?

Alice In Chains

 

[MrMoJoRisin63]

Ok. Here is how I am seeding the 1s and 2s.

and no, you dont have to be from that region to be seeded there.

Liverpool Region

1 Beatles
2 Queen
3 Aerosmith
4 Bruce Springsteen
5 Bob Marley

Nashville Region

1 Led Zepplin
2 Elvis Presley
3 The Eagles
4 Metallica
5 Jerry Lee Lewis

Cleveland Region

1 Pink Floyd
2 The Rolling Stones
3 The Who
4 Alice in Chains
5 Chuck Berry

Whisky a GoGo Region (L.A.)

1 Beach Boys
2 The Doors
3 Jimi Hendrix
4 Lynyrd Skynyrd
5 The Clash


Any changes. Lets stop here and focus on the first 20 in. Any should absolutely NOT be in. Any that ABSOLUTELY should be in?

There is no way you can have Alice In Chains on there you when you lack The Kinks, The Moody Blues, AC DC, just to name a few. Hell Alice in Chains is NIT at Best

 

[MrMoJoRisin63]

Oh sure, absolutely. Eddie V isn't exactly a rocker anymore, so I get where you're coming from. For what they were during their hayday in the grunge era, I'd say an 8 is fair.

Some others that I'd consider for your upcoming slots -

STP - 9
The Cars - 6
38 Special - 8
The Smashing Pumpkins - 6
Billy Joel - 7
Boston - 10
Chicago - 9
Weezer - 11
Cream - 12

Some Cinderella low seeds I'd consider are Blink-182, Huey Lewis & The News, and Rod Stewart (or is he too adult contemporary?)

WEEZER OMG this has to be a joke

 

[MrMoJoRisin63]

Ok, 6.8

Liverpool Region

6 Boston
7 Iron Maiden
8 Velvet Underground
9 Otis Redding
10 Guns n Roses

Nashville Region

6 Van Halen
7 AC/DC
8 Judas Priest
9 Thin Lizzy
10 Nirvana

Cleveland Region

6 Black Sabbath
7 Def Leppard
8 U2
9 Journey
10 Deep Purple

Whisky a GoGo Region (L.A.)

6 Rush
7 Rainbow
8 Heart
9 Pearl Jam
10 Tom Petty


agree, disagree?

A fine list but if the Kinks are not a top 64 Band then I am just a misguided rocker

Fair enough, we could knock out either Rainbow or Thin Lizzy for The Kinks.

Also, as much as I love AIC I agree they shouldn't be top 20

I sent Mamba a PM suggesting he not post the bracket as he goes, to many people will try to influence his decision. He just needs to make the list to the best of his ability and go from there. One thing I learned in my 50 years is you can never make everyone happy.
