Round Two Southwest Bracket Matchups

Sir Douglas Quintet

I've started putting together the songs that will represent each of the groups that have advanced to Round 2 of the Battle of the Bands (limited to American groups, 1954-1974) on Dr. John's Record Shelf. Remember that each band must be represented by a different number than used in Round 1, which may put some so-called one-hit wonders who scored early upsets in a precarious position as they move up (e.g. see the Bobby Fuller Four selection below). I'll try to post a different bracket each day or so over the next week, and as they appear, please let me know (in comments) if you are interested in being a judge. I'll make up cds with all the matchups for those who will be voting on which groups will advance to Round 3. The actual competition will resume in January, and should be finished by about mid-May. So, here are the songs to be played in the Southwest Bracket (original seedings appear in parentheses):

The Byrds (1), "Mr. Tambourine Man" vs.
The Doobie Brothers (9), "Listen to the Music"

Bobby Fuller Four (12), "Never to Be Forgotten" vs.
Love (13), "7 And 7 Is"

Spirit (11), "Mr. Skin" vs.
The Doors (3), "Love Her Madly"

Sir Douglas Quintet (10), "At the Crossroads" vs.
Beach Boys (2), "California Girls"
