Bandoff - Group Results and Round of 16 Draw

[StillSpike]

Well, well, well. There were some surprises, some clear winners, and only 1 tie-break, and the boarders have spoken. The results of the Group Stages in Band Off, Easter 2020 are as follows:




I shall be making the random draw for the round of 16 ties shortly.

[Constanza]

Interesting stuff.
Looks like a Radio 2 playlist.

Great thread

[Dunners]

Quite disappointed with some of those results. Quite a few of you lot will be seeing the inside of an education camp before long.

[Beradogs]

David Bowie just sounds like a load of noise to me and Elton John. Leave it out.

Feels like im hanging out with my dad

So I was hoping to get a pissed up Rod Stewart to perform the draw, as he did so memorably for the Scottish Cup a few years ago, but social distancing meant it was just easier to get Excel to do the job. Here's the draws:



My, there are some big battles in there. Personally, I hope that The Cure triumph in Tie 3, but that's partly because their opponent's name is too long to fit comfortably on my model.

I shall get the individual polls up in the next short while - voting till tomorrow lunchtime, when we will know who our Quarterfinalists will be

[Dunners]

Tie 6 is a f*cker!

[Constanza]

Specials will be happy with that draw.
Tie 4 has 0-0 all over it, with a 1-0 penalty shoot out.

[Dunners]

Nah, Tie 5 is the bore draw.

[Omygawd]

Great thread StillSpike. Many thanks but some of the results are a tad terrifying. Agree about Tie 6, should be a humdinger.....

[Omygawd]

Feels like im hanging out with my dad

Wouldn't Foster and Allen be in the mix if you were?

[Constanza]

Tie 7 has a Brazil Italy vibe

[KC & sunshine band]

Only one of that list were formed less than 40 years ago. This board is frequented by a bunch of dinosaurs.

And even they're a glorified tribute band.

[StillSpike]

Once we've finished with bands, we can do biscuits-off, or cheese-off - so there's that to look forward to.

I'm withdrawing from any further participation. I do not wish to be associated with any group of people who think 10CC are anything other than a hateful bunch of smug self satisfied pretentious to55pots. I accept the democratic will of the electorate but I am exercising MY right to disassociate myself from it.

I can sympathise with that view but I'm staying in. The Jam need me.

Well said, EH16, agree with you entirely. FFS, what is wrong with some of these people on here.

[ContrifibulatoryFred]

I appreciate the amount of work that has been out into this but I lost the will to continue when I saw the middle of the road crap that is alleged to be ‘better’.
No amount of YouTube links is going to get me to like Elton John etc

[Bernard Mandeville]

I am struggling to live with the results of Groups F and H . . . this is embarrassing and beyond 'taste'.

VAR??
