This is the first game of ten in the Les Paul Memorial Cup, to follow up on what I asked about last week. I will keep an aggregate track of winners as I mentioned here. Here will be the participant point scale for the Cup standings:

Win: 33
2nd Place: 20
3rd Place: 15
4th Place: 12
5th Place: 10
6th Place: 8
7th Place: 6
8th Place: 5
9th Place: 4
10th Place: 2
11th and below: 1 point

All ties will be added and divided using decimal points.

To start the tournament, here is a straight sheep game, with 1 small twist. You are to name a song by each band/artist listed below. However, the song you pick must be from the decade(s) it is listed under, or it will result in a score of 0. Otherwise, standard scoring and rules apply, and research is permitted.

PM me a list of unnumbered, unspaced responses. Once I get 15 replies I will set a 24 hour deadline.

Buddy Holly & The Crickets
Chuck Berry
Glenn Miller & His Orchestra
Elvis Presley

Any questions, let me know! Good luck...

Is that guitar the prize?

The picture of it, yes

looks good. research IS allowed? (i just erased my question of "no passes?")

Research is allowed

In, not sure it was worth the amount of research I had to do

In it to win it.

First page bumpage

POG is a busy place recently... back to page 1!

Overnight Bump

this was a lot easier before DrOS pointed out i need a song per band, not a song per decade

Sorry, I'll keep the other ones shorter

my ignorance is more the problem, not the length of the sheep.

im entering now.

also, very very good job adding live to the sheep. im a huge fan. not to everyone, IF YOU STEP ON MY ACE HERE, IM GONNA GO NITCH ON YOU.

wait.... this is a sheep, cancel that i gotta go with the song everyone knows. ill reveal my ace during the reveal.

In, with an unhealthy amount of research.

i hope you researched the same way i did.

also, this style game should alwalys be a peehs. but if it was a peehs, there are only a few people who would be able to play this.

There will be a few peehs games in the cup.

I'm still in the office, but I think I'm up to 11 or 12 entrants. Get 'em in!

just as long as you have many questions about live, its all good

The plan is, and questions I've made up, only use each artist only once in the series. There will be more 90s music though

I like it better as sheep. Some of those artists have (what should be anyway) ldo answers, but others should generate a decent spread.
