We got a donnybrook going on, all tied except the ESB!

tourney ideas...
•classic monster movie mayhem....32 monster movies clash for the title.
•songs by decades...50s v 60s v 70s v 80s...Elvis cuts down the nets.
•albums by decade...same as above
•battle of the bands

Bookmarked.

I must admit saying I extremely doubt Elvis will cut down the nets in a songs by decades tournament. Elvis Presley was The KIng. You are definitely one of his biggest fans. However, music appreciation is very varied and there are too many songs from each of those decades you mentioned, and the artists who created them, that could possibly be overlooked.

UNLESS it is a tournament of one member voting in it.

Not so fast there, hot stuff, Elvis might MIGHT take the 50's but with Buddy Holly, Roy Orbison and Chuck Berry in the mix, that is doubtful. He wouldn't even be a contender in the 60's, and don't you go with a discography up here because I know you can. The Beatles would take the 60's hands down and they should.

If we do the 60's, I suggest we take them out of the competition and that will give us a tighter competition with American like the Beach Boys and Neil Diamond, along with Soul, Motown (Blue eyed soul) and British Invasion.

If Elvis is involved, don't underestimate ec. If Elvis were alive and a hostage of the Taliban, he'd be back home in 48 hours and there wouldn't be a Taliban left. Afghanistan would be a Hunk A Burning country.

You don't think the Stones would give the Beatles a run? This is an opinion tournament, after all. There's no doubt the Beatles were the most influential group of the 60's, and probably all time, but here in the Zone, opinions are like sphincters: All but mine stink.

 

[Roadtrip635]

The Big Lebowski, one of the most quoted movies ever, didn't make the cut?

I couldn't quote a single line from it off the top of my head.

I am a Rocker not a Mod, Stones all the way for me but I could not vote for them ahead of The Beatles. They were the most influential of all time and continue to be so.

There's not been anything like them in my lifetime and not just music but culture, lifestyle and one of them is as responsible for drawing an end to a war as anyone else. Runny, they're not music, I can't even describe what they are but there's nothing I've ever seen like them. When the last one passes, there will be a worldwide mourning unlike anything we've ever seen and a lot of those people will have been born in the last 50 years.

When I think of what they gave me with just two albums, Sgt. Pepper and Magical Mystery Tour, and opened up a whole new world of musicians that used their creativity as a springboard to create a whole new world of music, they have no equal. It's not just them but what they started.

Shut up Donny!

 

[Runwildboys]

Shut up Donny!

I'm guessing that's from the movie? I only saw it once,and it didn't do much for me.

 

[Roadtrip635]

Shut up Donny!

He's out of his element.........

 

[Tabascocat]

It is pretty good but it takes a few watches to really appreciate it. It has a great cast and one-liners but it isn’t anywhere near my top 10 favorite comedies.

Answer: One of CowboysZone's most important members, Roadtrip635, did not nominate it.

Here is the complete list of films nominated for the tournament:

https://cowboyszone.com/threads/cow...-results-post-162.460077/page-5#post-10281356

The tournament has four regions of Comedy, Westerns, Horror/Sci-Fi and Action/Adventure. The top eight voted movies of those four genres filled the regions. Each participating member nominated 32 films. Each nomination, numbered 1 through 32, received points from 32 to 1.\

If a participating member had listed The Big Lebowski as #1 or 2 on their ballot list, the movie would have made this tournament. Doing so would have knocked out a movie out of the tournament but Darko is not REALLY a comedy anyway.

The outcome will prove VERY interesting if the membership votes best songs by decade for the next tournament.
