Floydian Slip affiliate station Classic Rock 102.5 (KMGI) in Pocatello, Idaho, is staging its annual “Tournament of Rock,” a two-week battle to determine the greatest band of all time.
The station airs a battle every hour during morning and afternoon drive time for two weeks through March 28.
“Sixty-four bands, 63 losers,” explains KMGI Program Director Sean Green. Voting is all done by phone. “Our first year the phone company called up the business line and asked what the hell was going on. I guess we overloaded some of their circuits.
“Floyd has never won, but they made it to the finals in the first year where they lost to the Eagles. … But Zep never won until last year, and this is our 10th year of it. So there’s hope for Floyd yet!”
Pink Floyd enters its first battle this morning at approximately 8:15 a.m. (MT) going up against Jethro Tull.
If you’d like to cast your ballot, call the station at (208) 235-1025 or toll-free at (866) 900-KMGI just after 8:15 a.m. and simply say the name of the band you choose. (Um … that’d be “Pink Floyd.”)
The “Tournament of Rock” is sponsored by Brian’s Tire Factory and Auto Repair of Pocatello.
You can see the bracket on the Rock 102.5 Web site. Sean tells us the placements were selected by random draw. (How else do you explain Ratt going up against The Beatles?)
