Since I have been moderating the "Metal Bands World Cup" with a lot of fun, it gave me an idea...
Why not do the same for the 'Classic Rock Bands' from all over the world?!
So, with credits to Agent_AAS for giving me the idea, here it is!!!
Ladieeeeeeees aaaaaaaaaaand gentlemeeeeeeeeen, we proudly present to you, the
_______________________________________________________________________ ### CLASSIC ROCK BANDS WORLD CUP !!! ### _______________________________________________________________________ The format of this World Cup for Classical Rock Bands is based upon the organisation schematics of the Soccer World Cup, same as the "Metal Bands World Cup" was made. It has the same rules as the Soccer Cup in terms of proceeding through, but it will follow a few rules of its own too. To elaborate the >binding rules< for this competition:
# The Group stage: -There will be 8 different groups presented in the thread, one at a time, and each group will be consisting of 5 Classical Rock Bands that will be pre-selected by me or one of the co-mods. -Every user of Armor Games has the power to give one point with one vote for one band only. So you only get to vote for one band in a group, no double voting for a single band or voting for more than one band per group. No exceptions will be made in this matter. -When one of the bands in a particular group reaches the 10 points limit, the voting for that group is over and that group will be closed for voting by me or one of the co-mods. Both the 'group winner' and the 'runner up' band will proceed to the knockout stage of this World Cup. -If two bands will reach the 10 points limit at the same time in a group, the band that reached the 10 points limit first, will automatically be declared 'group winner' and the band that reached the 10 points limit secondly, will automatically be declared 'runner up'. This rule also applies for the second place in the group. If two bands reach a similar point count for second place at the same time, the band reaching this point count first, will then automatically be declared 'runner up'. Remaining bands will be eliminated of the competition. Again, no discussions about the outcome are allowed, should this situation occur in a group.
The Knockout Stage: -After completing the Group stage, the 'group winner' of the first group will be up against the 'runner up' of the second group. The 'group winner' of the second group will be up against the 'runner up' of the first group. This scedule will be followed for the rest, to clarify: #1 Group A vs. #2 Group B (Winning band is called 'Winner I' #1 Group B vs. #2 Group A (Winning band is called 'Winner II' #1 Group C vs. #2 Group D (Winning band is called 'Winner III' #1 Group D vs. #2 Group C (Winning band is called 'Winner IV' #1 Group E vs. #2 Group F (Winning band is called 'Winner V' #1 Group F vs. #2 Group E (Winning band is called 'Winner VI' #1 Group G vs. #2 Group H (Winning band is called 'Winner VII' #1 Group H vs. #2 Group G (Winning band is called 'Winner VIII' -Like in the famous 'Battle of the Bands thread', you (again) get to vote once for one band only. -When one of the bands in this knockout battle reaches the limit of 10 points first, that band is declared the winner of the match and will proceed to the next stage in the competition. The 1/4 Finals: -The next stage, the 1/4 finals, will be held in this order: # Winner I vs. Winner V # Winner II vs. Winner VI # Winner III vs. Winner VII # Winner IV vs. Winner VIII -When one of the bands in these 1/4 final battles reaches the limit of 10 points first, that band is declared the winner of the match and will proceed to the next stage in the competition. The Semi Finals: -The semi finals will be held in the order of: # Winner I/V vs. Winner II/VI # Winner III/VII vs. Winner IV/VIII -When one of the bands in these Semi Finals battles reaches the limit of 10 points first, that band is declared the winner of the match and will proceed to the next stage in the competition. The 'Shadow Final': -A number three and four is decided in a match between both 'losing' bands from the semi finals. Again, the ranking of third and fourth place in this Final is decided upon the band that reaches the 10 points limit first. The Final match: -The Final match is held between both winning bands from the semi finals. -When one of the bands in the Final reaches the limit of 10 points first, that band is declared the winner of the competition and is crowned The 'CRBWC' Champion 2010. -The remaining band is ranked #2 in this competition. # Further rules for this competition: -You can only vote once per group and only once per knockout battle -You are obligated to give a good reasoning on why you choose the band to get your vote. ('They are the best' or 'I like them' is not accepted as a reasoning.) -There will be NO playoffs held in this competition. -You don't get to complain when 'your band' is eliminated from the competition. -Swearing and obscene language is not tolerated. Always respect the opinion(s) of the other users participating in this thread, even if you disagree on their reasoning. -The 'Armor Games Community Forum Rules and Regulations' and the 'Battle of the ... Thread Rules' are to be followed for this 'Classic Rock Bands World Cup'. They will be referred to when needed.

Why not, Ernie. For the longest time, recording music was unavailable and thus not an option, so people only had live performance.
In the '80's, us working stiff's only had Mtv to catch up on the lastest news, concert info, new music,etc. That's why on my about I rant about Michael Jackson as being the King of Mtv as well as the King of pop.

So, would you judge the band on how good they looked, or how good their music was?
Although recording music was unavailable at one point, hearing it has always been around, and that's why music was created. Not to be seen, but to be heard.

You're talking 1800's there. Before CDs and the big black disks. And back then concerts were pretty rare (More like theaters and street musicians). Yes, for most of man's history, music was only available directly, but then again, so was the wheel (Only 6,000 years of 1 millions years of mankind.) and fire (500,000 years).
I admit, I can't really vote this round because I don't know anything about the bands.
Sleeping Bag and Sharp Dressed Man are two of my favorite songs ever. I vote for ZZ Top, because Van Halen's music doesn't have the same down-home front porch feel to it as ZZ Top does.
Group D: "U.S. Rock Bands" - Van Halen - 4 - ZZ Top - 5 - Bon Jovi - 0 - Survivor - 0 - Tesla - 0
ZZ Top takes the lead.
being the King of Mtv as well as the King of pop.
Anybody forgetting about Billy Idol and Al Yankoic? They are part of the reason mtv was a hit too. Plus Al can interupt anytime during the programs to say something. Hes that much of a figure to them.

you dont seem to understand sir. its not jsut about listening to a band, sure you can listen to one and think it sounds good. but if they cant play the song them selves verywell then whats the point.
anybody can make music in the studio.
my point is is that zztop could barley play there own material and it was a boring show thuswise its a mix between the two.
Since I'm a HUGE fan of them... I can't do anything else but vote for Van Halen and bring them back to the lead of this group! =D
It's a mix of good music, great shows and unique sound that lighted the flame for me with Van Halen! When I first heard Jump on the radio, I stopped breathing for a moment (I think) and with that never doubted their ability to keep going throughout the years... minus the little hickup with '3'... =P
So, with my personal vote in, the score shows:
Group D: "U.S. Rock Bands" - Van Halen - 6 - ZZ Top - 5 - Bon Jovi - 0 - Survivor - 0 - Tesla - 0
Anyone wants to vote for the last day of this group? Monday this group will be closed for voting and I can tell you... the next batch is ready and itching to perform battle! =D
