winigwl Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 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 Any questions feel free to ask via pm or in this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMagpie Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 I think we should have more than 25 artists :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winigwl Posted March 30, 2008 Author Share Posted March 30, 2008 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephenG Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Some bands that get in the top 25 wont be worth a mention tho, so I wouldn't worry about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMagpie Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 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. http://www.coldplaying.com/forum/showthread.php?t=37354 p.s. glad you said "Favourite" and not "Best" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMagpie Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Rose Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winigwl Posted March 30, 2008 Author Share Posted March 30, 2008 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
