I've been wanting to do this for a while, but i never really actually considered it until today when a noob sent me a pm asking me to make a thread with the top 5 bands of all time. So similar to the albums of the year thing and debut album thing we will do the greatest artists/ bands of all time.

 

 

Rules:

1. All lists must be written by April 30th.

2. Minimum of 10 artists on your list.

3. Maximum of 25 artists (I know i should do more, but thats a lot to deal with as it is)

4. Lists may be edited after being written, but it must be complete by April 30th.

5. The band/ artist must have had at least one LP.

6. You may do a solo artist from a band that is also in your list. (ex. Thom Yorke and Radiohead are both acceptable. So are Eric Clapton and Cream)

7. NO NICKELBACK.... Just kidding. :PBut i would be upset if you did put them in your list

I think we should have more than 25 artists :P

i know...

but i don't want to do much more than 25 artists..Think of how many bands we'll have as it is! and this is my first countdown... maybe if i do something else in a year i'll do more.

 

 

either way, we have a month, so if i have to change it i will

Some bands that get in the top 25 wont be worth a mention tho, so I wouldn't worry about it.

Okay.

 

Here is a good outline/point scheme if you wanted to do a max of 100 artist.

 

Its the voting system that Nik used for top 250 albums of all time.

p.s. glad you said "Favourite" and not "Best"

Some bands that get in the top 25 wont be worth a mention tho, so I wouldn't worry about it.

 

I just won't be able to narrow it down to 25, thats all.

This is gonna be hard. My list gets really mushy around numbers 3,4,5...

thanks for that briggs, even though i'm DEFINATELY not doing 100. 50 max....

 

 

and your list shouldn't be too hard. i already know what it will be...

1. radiohead

2-25. everyone else

Want me to make this a sticky Justin?

 

And I guess my "album of the quarter" thread will have to wait until the end of April

that'd be great. thanks:)

And do you want me to spell Favourite right?

thats right where i live:P

American English isn't a proper language :P

even though its unnecessary for ours to be spelled differently, it is and i'm used to it.

It will all change when the revolution begins to roll.

American English isn't a proper language :P

 

You mean American English ain't no proper language.

We are not all Oxford educated :P

 

And besides I'm stuck using the American English dictionary on firefox 3, as they haven't gotten round to making the British extension work for it yet like.

woot woot woot!! :dance:

 

I love this countdown!!! :nice:

i'm kinda afraid coldplay won't win

It better not!

IIRC:

U2 won the 2006 "world of music world cup"

Radiohead won the 2007 "battle of the musical acts"

 

Who will win this year, seeing as Coldplay are allowed in?

It better not!

 

it should win, it is a coldplay forum...

top 5 will probably be

1. radiohead

2. coldplay

3. muse

4. u2

5. beatles/oasis
