    I will carry out a draw later for the knockout stages of the competition.

    Quarter finals will consist of one song, any song, gotta go for it now!

    Semi finals will be 2 songs, and they must be 4 decades apart, yep, Longevity is the name of the game.

    The final will be 3 songs, only one of which can have been used in a previous round.

    Speak soon BOTBers

    It's all about song choice, maybe the theme didn't fit or they were trumped with a belter.

    At least people are giving it a go :50:

    Quarter Finals

    We have reached the knockout stages now and things are about to get tasty, if a little repetitive for one tie :87: Congratulations to those of you who have reached this far, great work. I can mow announce the quarter final ties as follows

    QF 1

    PicsArt_03-26-10.53.19.jpg

    REM v. Fleetwood Mac


    QF 2

    PicsArt_03-26-10.54.21.jpg

    Bruce Springsteen V. Rod Stewart


    QF 3

    PicsArt_03-26-10.55.05.jpg

    Cher v AC/DC


    QF 4

    PicsArt_03-26-10.56.12.jpg

    Prince v U2


    I have left the theme open here, pick a song, any song, a battle of wits as well as tune, you can only carry over one song into the final if you reach the Last 2 so choose wisely. Inbox is open for your choice.... :50:


    For those of you eliminated in the group stages, I will still require your votes, please, so stick around when the songs are posted and keep involved. I will tag you all again and explain the voting system for the knockouts when we are good to go

    Sorry, can only speak for myself obviouslty, but it's not like they don't have songs with names in them, such as Ronnie, Dyer's Eve, Call of Ktulu etc, and in a group where thing slike that wre tight had to be reason to vote for or against somethign.IMO wasn't really in the spirit of the round. :/

    Same for the Stones' song choice. Angie is a cool song, but IMO Jumping Jack Flash would've 100% won that group hands down and Ruby Tuesday could've gotten over the line. All in the song choice in those tight groups.

    It's all great fun Taz, however why would it be ok to have Call of Ktulu which is named after a * like alien but not Sandman who is a Northern European character who in folklore sprinkles sleep dust in folks eye :56:

    Least I got more points than Cliff Richard :56:

    Quarter Finals

    The quarter final songs have been posted people, and boy, are there some big hitters in there! Battle of the Bands - Longevity Edition has reached the business end and I need your votes to decide the semi finalists.


    https://www.talkceltic.net/forums/threads/botb-longevity-edition-song-thread.153194/

    Voting:

    You have 5 points to distribute between the two artists, it's up to you how you do that. I'm not looking for a ranking this time but a score, giving the higher number to your preferred choice. But how much better did you like it? A convincing thumping? One deserves a point? You liked both but need to pick a winner? Here's how to score them:

    5 - 0
    4 - 1
    3 - 2

    Those eliminated from the competition, please vote on all quarter finals. Those still involved, please vote on the three you aren't part of. My inbox is open.... :50: cheers everyone.

    Voting Deadline

    Wednesday 31 March
    12pm, Midday

    Some early votes hitting the scoreboard, thanks so much folks :50:

    And a special thank you to those who exited at the group stage but are sending me votes. Its easy to drift away but it really helps to have as many votes cast as possible, I'm sure the quarter finalists appreciate it too, so cheers guys
