Peter, Paul, and Mary beat The Milk Carton Kids in Match #15.
On this thread, readers will put in ONE band per comment that they want to see in a cage match. The top four will be chosen.
***Multiple bands suggested in one comment will be disqualified (I may even delete the comment). A band that was previously in battle will not be counted. (I may delete that one too.)
Those four bands will do battle. The band that comes in first (with a thumbs up) will play the fourth-place finisher. Bands two and three will compete against one another.
After we find our next two winners (via the reader’s choices for the last two-band cage matches), I will resurrect three bands (at my discretion) from the loser bracket.
That will give us 20 finalists.
The next five battles will have four bands in the cages for each battle. (I will pick them out of a hat – honest injun.)
There will be five winners + the highest thumbs for a second-place winner.
Those six winners will go one-on-one in 3 battles (picked out of a hat.)
That will leave 3 bands plus the highest second-place finisher.
The final four will go one-on-one (picked out of a hat.)
Then, we will have the winner-take-all battle.
If you’ve followed all of these instructions and understood them, give yourself a star, because I don’t.
Let the nominations begin in this thread! We’ll keep it open for at least 24 hours.
***REMEMBER, WE ARE PICKING BANDS WITH THE BEST VOCAL HARMONIES.***
Traffic. John Barleycorn Must Die.
“A band that was previously in battle will not be counted.”

Not with this group though.
