Battle of the Bands Update

The Guess Who

Round One of the Battle of the Bands on Dr. John's Record Shelf continued last night, with The Guess Who (seeded no. 3) knocking off Genesis (14), while Yes (11) scored an upset over T. Rex (6). Our goal is to ultimately determine the greatest British (or Commonwealth) band of the era 1960 to 1974, and we're more than halfway through the first round.

Yes

The songs in competition last night were "No Time" by the Guess Who, "Roundabout" by Yes, "Bang a Gong" by T. Rex, and "The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway" by Genesis.

This week's winners join the Kinks, Badfinger, the Bee Gees, Jethro Tull, the Band, the Troggs, the Easybeats, Buffalo Springfield, Free, Manfred Mann, the Rolling Stones, Mott the Hoople, The Who, Sweet, the Moody Blues, and the Tremeloes in moving into the next round.
