If Santana wins again, I’m going to have to start believing the interwebs is not entirely trustworthy.
Ditto. At the moment, though, he’s getting murdelized.
This is another easy pod, it shouldn’t be close, but you never know. Obviously went with Floyd.
Quick! Somebody get on a Santana fan forum and tell them to come vote! (I voted for Pink)
Great idea, Retro! I’ll do that now. RAZA!
A bit of an asymmetry in the final eight, if Floyd go through, as looks likely. And look–seven English bands!
Nothing against Santana. But had to go with Floyd.
Yes, seven British bands. And so many more could have been included!
Don’t forget that Stewie Copeland of The Police is American, whilst Sting is a citizen of the world. 😉
If Sting is a citizen of the world, there are a whole lot of people in London who wish he would move there.
Russ–actually, no, these are all English bands. There’s not a Scotsman or Irishman left.
So what have we learned? Two qualities are required to be a great rock artist. First, you must have been born no later than 1955. Second, you must be English.
Also, you must be male, I suppose.
Damn. Missed it by THAT much.
This competition makes me wish the Spanish Armada had been more competent. Damn Englishmen! (I mean, seriously, how do The Police beat out Bob Dylan? This competition was proven to be a massive farce with that one.)
leT: I agree that The Police over Dylan was unjust – and I say that as a massive Police fan. However, when it comes to injustices, that one may not even be in the top five in this tournament. At least The Police are a worthy top 16 seed.

Is it wise to reveal the criteria behind your band selections for this tourney? 😉
Hey, I’m just doing my Rogerian psychology thing.
I don’t even want to know how you would go about rogerin’ psychology (admit it, you were ALL thinking it).
Pink floyd will win easily… not that i do like santana… but floyd where in a special place
