Anything can still happen.

Will Nirvana get over the line?
Can Led Zeppelin score a late winner?
Will there be joint champions or go into extra time?


​

 

Tense as * this!!

 

Really is, I don't remember it being this close There's been a few 4 1 results for Led Zep already too. Jeez that would make it a draw!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

FINAL

LZEP 37 - 43 NIRV

********

Which means it it congratulations to Nirvana (@Heb Celt)! In a curious twist of fate, Nirvana was not Heb's first or even his second choice of band in this. But, if memory serves, both the Chilli Peppers and Foo Fighters had already been claimed, which lead to Nirvana even being in this competition. Was it fate? Destiny? Luck? Whatever it was, a deserved champion after having chartered an impressive course throughout this competition.

Well done, Heb!

Commiserations to @obafgkmlt, who ended up just a little short. Had this final vote been a 4-1 to Led Zep we would have either decided to have joint champions or necessitated the need for extra time, or try to cajole a vote from somewhere, lol. As it is, think Led Zep definitely proved worthy Runner Up and providing us with a fitting Final of this BotB!

Well done Heb! Unlucky Obaf so close in the end, loved both song choices for the final was so hard to split it. Big thanks to Taz for running another for us

 

Will send out the prize v$'s tomorrow.

 

Jeez oh poor Dre in the first round.

Know who I was quite impressed with, George Harrison. Up against such competition didn't expect him to make it that far, that was very well played I thought.

Hey Heb lucky you didn't get the Foo Fighters or Chillis! Nirvana are becoming legends of musical history. One of the bands that every new generation gets into.

Did Zep enter Stairway and Whole Lotta Love?

 

Nope, neither. I had a hard time choosing an album - what is generally considered more popular or what is my favorite. I ended up going with my favorite. Zepp's early blues stuff got me into blues music in general and holds a very special place in my heart.
