Floydian Slip affiliate station Classic Rock 102.5 <\/strong>(KMGI) in Pocatello, Idaho, is staging its annual “Tournament of Rock,” a two-week battle to determine the greatest band of all time.<\/p>\n

The station airs a battle every hour during morning and afternoon drive time for two weeks through March 28.<\/p>\n

“Sixty-four bands, 63 losers,” explains KMGI Program Director Sean Green<\/strong>. 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.<\/p>\n

“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\u2019s hope for Floyd yet!”<\/p>\n

Pink Floyd <\/strong>enters its first battle this morning at approximately 8:15 a.m. (MT) going up against Jethro Tull<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

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.”)<\/p>\n

The “Tournament of Rock” is sponsored by Brian’s Tire Factory and Auto Repair<\/strong><\/a> of Pocatello.<\/p>\n

You can see the bracket on the Rock 102.5 Web site<\/a>. Sean tells us the placements were selected by random draw. (How else do you explain Ratt going up against The Beatles?)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
