Ultimate Battle of the Bands - Round of 32 RESULTS

The vote are in, and the winners of the Round of 32 are attached.  Once again fantastic participation, despite March Break and Easter commitments, as 14 music fans submitted responses!  Thanks for your dedication!

Well….. two #1 seeds have fallen in resounding fashion.  Gone are Pink Floyd and Pixies from competition!  David Bowie just squeezed by Springsteen in the final few votes.  And three double-digit seeds (AC/DC, Police and Chili Peppers) have had strong support to advance.

Quick recap by Decade bracket:

1960s:  no surprise as 4 of top 5 seeds advanced in convincing fashion – in fact the Who was the only Unanimous vote-getter in the Round of 32.

1970s:  big news is Queen overwhelming Pink Floyd and AC/DC beating Canadian Neil Young, otherwise #2 & #3 seeds advanced in their matchups.

1980s: a complete free-for-all with U2 highest remaining seed at #3 – this bracket is wide-open and up for grabs!

1990s+:  surprising that #2 & #3 seeds have fallen (Arcade Fire and Nirvana) by large margins, but #1 seed Radiohead moves on.
