Dream Band Super-Group Tournament - CONGRATULATIONS, SELF!

[stip]

I've got the better singer, the better drummer, and the better Beatle, so here's a vote for SARS before this gets out of hand.

You go too far!

Spoiler: show

Self Polluted

there's no such thing as a better beatle

Which one do you hate the least? Other than the one you ironically drafted, of course.

I'm not sure. They've all had tolerable moments. I drafted McCartney because I honestly thought he would play well with my band. I just made sure he wasn't singing

Spirits Are Rising Stew

Well done guys, this has been a great tournament.

I'm going to be away for a few days, so I'll probably miss the end result. Congrats, in advance, to the victor.

[Lament]

11-4 in Self's favor at the moment...

And his first round opponent was?

[stip]

I'm changing my vote to Spirits Are Rising Stew. Both bands are good, and while I probably prefer the rest of self's band to Kaius' a bit, I definitely prefer Freddy Mercury to David Bowie and John lennon

[Kaius]

You're a good man, stip. I don't care what everyone else says about you.

And his first round opponent was?

Well yours truly, obviously.

10-5.

[Lament]

I mistakenly posted that the end of this round was midnight on Friday/Saturday. It should be Thursday/Friday to keep with the 72 hour voting period we've had in each round so far.

[Kaius]

I think it should stay open until a sudden death scenario.

[Lament]

I was assuming you'd be winning by midnight tomorrow. Didn't you say you had those 20-25 friends who were gonna sign up for RM tonight?

[Kaius]

They should be logging in here any time now.

[Lament]

You can have my vote, Kaius. I've been on a mini-Queen kick for the last week or so, and I prefer their tighter, more focused songs. I would imagine with Stewart and the Ox filling out the rhythm section there'd be some tight grooves for Freddie to belt over. I sadly don't think they'd do a good job with my favorite Police song, Fall Out, though.

[Iholdthepain]

Awesome!

[freddie mercury's mustache]

Spirits Are Rising Stew is clearly the better band.
