Classic Rock Mega-Knockout: Finals!

[Mosh]

+1
Pink Floyd and Rush rank very closely for me.

 

[LooseCannon]

Wow, Layla pulled even with Stairway....I did NOT see that coming.

 

[Forostar]

It was ahead even, until I voted.

 

[The Flash]

I love Layla's main riff. One of my favorite rock riffs of all time. But I feel like the rest of the song doesn't live up to that riff. Still a really good song, though.

 

[Forostar]

Exactly.

Great riff but I am not staring blindly on it. After a couple of minutes, we're going to meh moments (duller midpiece). Should have been shorter.

Its opponent gets stronger as it progresses.

 

[Night Prowler]

How in the hell is Comfortably Numb losing? What the fuck...

 

[SinisterMinisterX]

Aren't you the one who coined the phrase "Rush bias!" in the first place?

 

[Night Prowler]

Yeah. It applies to this round more than ever

 

[Shadow]

"Bohemian Rhapsody", "Comfortably Numb" and "Tom Sawyer" win comfortably.
Clapton edges out Zeppelin. At the end of the day, "Layla" is simply the more exciting song.

 

[SinisterMinisterX]

One more day to get your votes in!

 

[Forostar]

Exit American acts.

 

[SinisterMinisterX]

Plural? Only Guns is left. Rush is Canadian, the rest are British.

 

[Forostar]

Now one indeed, but because of that, all American acts from the whole game are out.

The Final Four

Queen was seeded #1 and expected to be here.
Layla upset both All Along The Watchtower and Stairway To Heaven to take the #2 position.
Now they both face Rush Bias for the right to appear in the final.

"Bohemian Rhapsody" (Queen) [1] vs. "Limelight" (Rush) [140]

"Layla" (Derek & the Dominoes) [10] vs. "Tom Sawyer" (Rush) [59]

Top song in each pair wins a tie.

 

[SinisterMinisterX]

My votes:

The choices seem pretty clear this round. Layla getting here instead of Stairway is a big part of that.

Bohemian Rhapsody, Tom Sawyer

 

[Mosh]

How did Layla make it so far? There are a ton of songs that have been through this game that should be in that spot (including all the ones that I remember facing Layla).

 

[The Flash]

Rush bias

 

[The Flash]

All Along the Watchtower should've been here instead of Layla. There wasn't another song in the game that I'd rate above AAtW.

 

[Shadow]

Queen and Clapton. Neither would be my top pick, but I like them more than the Rush songs, great as they are.

 

[LooseCannon]

Queen and Clapton.

This.
