Here is the third bracket in our upcoming Battle of the Bands on Dr. John's Record Shelf. It will be our goal, after months of competition, to crown the best British (or Commonwealth) band of the period 1960 to 1954. Previously, I posted the Pop and Mod Brackets. The number in parentheses after each band name is their seeding, and they are laid out so that in Round 2, the winner of the first pair will meet the winner of the second; the third will play the fourth; etc. I welcome comments, though I'm not very likely to change anything at this point. Remember, it may not pay for a group to go with its best-known or strongest cut in round one, since a new song will be selected for each round they move on to:
"Jumpin' Jack Flash," Rolling Stones (1) vs.
"Natural Born Bugie," Humble Pie (16)
All the Way to Memphis," Mott the Hoople (8) vs.
"Man of the World," Fleetwood Mac (9) [remember this is the pre-Buckingham-Nicks version of the group]
"Shapes of Things," Yardbirds (5) vs.
"All Right Now," Free (12)
"Sha La La," Manfred Mann (4) vs.
"I'd Love to Change the World," Ten Years After (13)
"Iron Man," Black Sabbath (6) vs.
"Midnight to Six Man," Pretty Things (11)
"We Gotta Get Outta This Place," Animals (3) vs.
"Hold Your Head Up," Argent (14)
"Here Comes the Night," Them (7) vs.
"You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet," Bachman-Turner Overdrive
"Strange Brew," Cream (2) vs.
"Reflections of My Life," Marmalade (15)
The tournament will be heard on KDWG Radio, 90.9 fm in SW Montana Sunday Evenings starting this Fall (should you be within our signal's reach).
