Planet Rock's: The Euros of Rock

[KiloDeltaCharlie]

After almost 7 hours, things haven't changed hugely except:

Led Zeppelin are now trailing Queen (48.6:51.4)

[KiloDeltaCharlie]

The Quarter Final Poll has just finished:

Led Zeppelin 47.9%  -  52.1% Queen

Black Sabbath 64.8%  -  35.2% Deep Purple

Whitesnake 29.1%  -  70.9% Iron Maiden

Thin Lizzy 51.7%  -  48.3% Motorhead



So the Semi-Final line-up will be

Queen  v  Black Sabbath

Iron Maiden  v  Thin Lizzy

... and will be played Wednesday


I quite like Thin Lizzy but they're not Motorhead! And I really thought Sabbath / Purple would have been a lot closer!

I think it will be a Queen / Iron Maiden final as Queen have already beaten Sabbath in the group stage.

Not surprised Sabbath spanked em. Shame they have to come up against Queen next.

A Sabbath vs Maiden final would’ve been fitting.

The Semi-Finals are underway @PlanetRockRadio


It's only 15 minutes in:

Thin Lizzy v Iron Maiden, currently 37:63 to Maiden

Black Sabbath v Queen, currently 56:44 to Sabbath.

I'm not gettig my hopes up for Sabbath just yet, Queen always start slow, they were 52:48 behind Sabbath in the group game and went on to win 57:43.

Thin Lizzy over Motörhead!?!?!? What the hell is wrong with people?!?!!?!?

[KiloDeltaCharlie]

^^^
Totally agree, but Planet Rock attracts a more mainstream rock audience. Thin Lizzy make pop/rock which maybe appeals to the audience more. Still, it was dissapointing.


EDIT: Queen are closing the gap 52:48 at the moment. Lizzy / Maiden are 39:61

[Zzzptm]

Queen's gonna take it all.

[Charger]

Yeah seems that more mainstream is the thing here.

So yeah I'll agree... Queen are gonna be the champions!

[KiloDeltaCharlie]

Dead heat now between Sabbath and Queen, with 13 hours to go!

[KiloDeltaCharlie]

Ho hum...

[KiloDeltaCharlie]

The result of the Semi-Finals...

Lizzy 40% v Maiden 60%

Sabbath 48% v Queen 52%



So the final will be between:

Iron Maiden v Queen

[Zzzptm]

Smart money is on the man from Zanzibar!

[KiloDeltaCharlie]

The Final is underway @PlanetRockRadio


Iron Maiden v Queen

After 20 minures, it's currently 55:45 to Iron Maiden, but I don't think that's enough of a lead with Queen's slow starts and all that.

BTW I've just noticed they've given it a 2 day run rather than the usual 23 hours!

[KiloDeltaCharlie]

Surprisingly, after 3½ hours Maiden have increased their lead to 62:38.

There's already been over 3000 votes which is more than any previous polls has had!

[Charger]

I'm assuming Iron Maiden fans have taking this to facebook and other social media...they have a pretty strong following there where as Queen crowd might not.
