Battle of the Bands Update

The Beatles

We finally wrapped up Round Two of the Battle of the Bands on Dr. John's Record Shelf last night. We're trying to determine the greatest British rock band of the period 1960 to 1974. No surprise that the Beatles (seeded no. 1 in the Pop Bracket) skunked the Spencer Davis Group (9) by a 9-0 score, while the Searchers (5) made it a Liverpool sweep by upsetting Herman's Hermits (4) by a 7-2 margin.

The Searchers

Songs played included "Day Tripper" by the Beatles, "Keep on Runnin'" by the Spencer Davis Group, "Needles and Pins" by the Searchers, and "Dandy" by Herman's Hermits. I'll post the full list of Round Three matchups with songs in a couple of days in this space, so keep your eyes peeled!
