This should be a lot of fun with some great matchups and debate

The thought of a Jimi vs Beach Boys matchup in Round 2 is tremendous

I'm definitely not seeing all the #1 seeds making it to the Final 4.

1960’s

1- The Beatles
2- The Rolling Stones
3- Bob Dylan
4- Jimi Hendrix
5- The Beach Boys
6- The Kinks
7- The Doors
8- CCR
9- Cream
10- The Byrds
11- Simon & Garfunkel
12- The Band
13- The Velvet Underground
14- The Yardbirds
15- Crosby, Stills and Nash
16- Jefferson Airplane

The Guess Who and Steppenwolf always struggle to make the cut on anyone's 'best bands from the 60s' list.

Both good bands. Just can't see putting them ahead of anyone listed above. Maybe Steppenwolf could have gotten a nod over Jefferson Airplane, but certainly no one else in the 1960's region.

I’d put Jefferson Airplane ahead of Steppenwolf

Sadly, neither Keith Emerson aka @WilburHooksHands or Frank Zappa aka @YellowSnow made it in. @Dennis_DeYoung did, however.

I’d be surprised if more than 2 did

Agree. I see two #1 seeds with a pretty clear path to the Final 4. But there's probably a 4 or 5 seed that will make it in. Perhaps even a 16 taking down a 1.

No Stooges, DIAF.

I love Iggy Pop. And I love the Stooges. NO ONE HERE LOVES THEN MORE THAN ME. I couldn't make it work out, OK.

Brian Kelly thinks this list needs more early 1970's

I did my best to include as much 1990s as I could but chinvariably the mor one tries to make room for the more recent decades, you start losing space for the great acts of the early and later 1970's. While there are a lot of band of the 2000s and 2010s that I dig and listen to regularly, few truly stand out to me as great enough for 64 band/artist tournament.

Consider the percentages by decade of the albums in the Rolling Stone 500 GOAT list:


1950s - 10 albums (2.0%)
1960s - 105 albums (21.0%)
1970s - 186 albums (37.2%)
1980s - 84 albums (16.8%)
1990s - 73 albums (14.6%)
2000s - 40 albums (8.0%)
2010s - 2 albums (0.4%)

Rolling Stone came out in 1967. That must have nothing to do with the fact 58% of the albums chosen were from the 60’s and 70’s.

Yes, they are old geezers. Still, they have 103 albums from the 90s and 00s on their list which is chinpressive considering the competition from the 60s and 70s.
