You got to see Thin Lizzy live? That's dope when was that?
 
Yeah journey's actually actually pretty awesome. Even if you think they're corny or whatever they have a pretty awesome level of musicianship, and the singers voice was off the charts good.

Wheel in the sky is one of my favorites, it's a classic
 
13th floor elevators
The Doors
Jimi Hendrix
The Who
Led Zepplin
Jefferson Airplane
Steave Miller
Strawberry alarm clock
And every Psychedelic band there is.
 
wasn't remembering wheel in the sky when thinking of journey... good call there... i'll still go with skynard though... i'll have to remember wheel in the sky is journey... i always forget who ELO are too involving this thread. i tried to mention when something was something i was familiar with because of this... definitely was born in the 80's, so a lot of this stuff is hard to remember, but was played at me my whole life.
 
30 mins left of sudden death round
 
Sudden death for round 1 is concluded... Van Halen beats out Journey 4-1, and Lynyrd Skynyrd beats Thin Lizzy 4-1...

That's all for Round 1, I will put the next bracket together and we'll roll on to crown a champion.

I forgot about the Who.
Seems like a long Journey to victory.

Yeah we've been over this lol... I didn't make the bracket some radio station in Detroit did. As such, most of the picks are radio artists. You don't really hear much of any of those artists you named on the mainstream classic rock radio, despite them being great rock artists.

And yeah round 1 is already finished but you're welcome to throw in a vote for round 2 when I post it.
