Battle of the Bands 1968-1980

Fellas. The 16 competitors are named, above in green. Y'all can keep mentioning bands you wished could be in such as Steve Miller, the Moody Blues, Bob Marley and The Wailers etc. They will not, cannot be added.

I need two TTR volunteers to assist me in setting up a randomized bracket. It's a one time only job.
 
I like your idea @LiveeviL2000 but I want to "humanize" the randomization. It's an easy job. Can I count on you to provide me me a completely randomized list via PM of the odd-numbered bands below from in the master list?

Led Zeppelin
Black Sabbath
AC/DC
Judas Priest
Kiss
Jimi Hendrix
Tom Petty & Heartbreakers
Pink Floyd


Then, all require is another intrepid TTR member (FIRST IN) to provide me another randomized list VIA PM of the even-numbered nominees below:

Steppenwolf
Deep Purple
Iron Maiden
The Who
Rush
The Doors
ZZ Top
The Rolling Stones


This will set the tournament ladder.
 
Ok... @LiveeviL2000 has done his thing thank you sir!!! Who is going to step up and randomize the second list for me in a PM?
Once that is done we can get the party started!

Give the deck a shuffle!
 
So, initial placement of these top 16 bands. Live Evil gave me his randomized list. I populated his list on the ladder,
bottom left up to top right, one of his bands in each frame.
Clockwork tried to set the bracket for us but I just took his list he sent as randomized, then populated his from the top left to the
bottom right. Any way you slice it, with this caliber of talent, it's going to result in a certain amount of inner turmoil and heartbreak
for all of us, and some REAL TOUGH CHOICES!

It is what it is. I just wanted the seeding to be seen as random as possible, unaffected by attempts to game it or play favorites.
All I ask is, all of us here in the community, I would say to a man, (and woman) all of us lovers of music, so let's play fair, STAY ENGAGED,
and make your best arguments in the vote poll threads to come, on who shall rule each coming match-up

I will begin the first vote tomorrow afternoon, there will be a 24 hour (ish) vote. In the case of a tie, held over for another 24 hour period
then sudden death overtime.

May the best band win!
 
OK sorry @frostyjr2 my bad on asking for a 16th band when we actually already had 16 so this is the real actual tourney,
I'm a bit behind schedule tonight with my social media posts and dinner for m'lady, so I'll start the ladder up later tonight.
I will be flipping a coin several times to decide which battle goes first. But it will be as random as I can.

Rather than go through all that randomization of groups I simply subbed out UFO for Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.
