I've played this game before and it has been lots of fun. So I'll give it a try here and we'll see how it goes.

The game is Ultimate Rock Wars.

It's basically like Rock Bands survivor.

Here is how it works in a nutshell.

128 bands are going to go, head to head, in the ultimate showdown. They will fight it out....for the right to claim.....We're Number 1!!!!

So when you drop by each day, drop in and vote.

Here is how it will work. I have hand selected, 128 of the greatest bands in history. I have charted them out, (I wish, I could post it) each of them will go head to head eliminating one another. One by one they will drop off, sorta like survivor!! At the end of it all, one band will reign as our #1 Favorite band of all time.

So what I need all of you to do, is vote for the band you feel deserves to stay in the game. There will be a number of rounds to play, so this is going to take awhile to play. Months in fact. You'll decide who stays and goes. If you like, you can also trash the one you think should go. Or tell us all why one should stay. Try your best to influence everyone to vote your way!!

A little disclaimer; I tried to take into account a number of factors as to who I included. Factors included, bands that had commercial success, were original, as well as I tried to get a nice mix of old and new. I also looked for them to be rock or classic rock bands. So Elvis as good as he is, will not be on the charts. This is your basic 60's 70's 80's and a few 90's bands. So not every band is on the chart. I'm sure I have left a few off you think I should've had on. Hey...I tried my best. Feel free to E-mail me with who should have been on. Remember for every band added, one has to come off. So let me know which should have been on and the one left off.


I hope you will enjoy this fun little interactive game. It will keep us occupied until summer at least for those of us that live in the colder climates.

Enjoy the game..... /infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

There is no doubt as to the best band. It has to be Led Zeppelin. Is this where I vote? There are other good bands almost as equal but........like maybe the Doors as runner up and The Guess Who running in third. It's so hard to pic one favorite. http://www.checkmate-boats.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gif

The battle is a little further down. The bands go head to head, one being eliminated each battle, until the ultimate band is left.

The first one is The Beatles versus Survivor, it's in here somewhere. http://www.checkmate-boats.com/6/ws/,s,8626072361/Graemlins/thumb.gif
