1st Annual Best Band Ever Thread

2,927 Views | 42 Replies

Think of this as the once a year hybrid younger brother of this thread that I will start posting once a year in the November-December months.

1.) *Insert band's name here* insert / here* *Insert the band or Artist's music genre(S) here*
2.) *Insert band's name here* insert / here* *Insert the band or Artist's music genre(S) here*

You have at most 40 bands and artists you can vote for, any more that that won't be counted.

This will NOT be counted;

*Insert band/artist name*, *Insert band/artist name*, *Insert band/artist name*, *Insert band/artist name*, etc.

And it also must be numbered...I honestly don't care why you listed them in that order; just the first 40 bands/artists will be counted.

This thread can be used to channel your opinions and such, whether you post your list here or not is optional.

If you haven't voted yet and you don't intend to in the futre DO NOT POST.

And if you have anything to say about another user or his/her choices in music it better fucking be positive and not offensive in any way or I will not count your votes in a heartbeat.

You guys will have at least a month to vote, I will create the result thread sometime in December.

I will personally NOT post my personal list of bands till we are on page 2 or so as to not influence other user's opinions. I doubt that I would but whatever.

Also if you want to vote for a band or artist you are absolutely certain somebody else has heard of then please refrain from sending it to me, it's not a rule but it'd sure make it easier for me to count the votes. I would also appreciate that when you guys get your reply PMs telling you that your vote was counted that you don't send me another PM, unless you have something you want to talk to me about.

One last reminder... Votes posted in this thread are NOTcounted; only votes sent in PMs.

Are you trying to imply you were actually being serious? My mistake, I mistook you for just trying to be a dumbass considering everyone is saying Rick Astly just for shit and giggles.

I'll count it.

Yes, I have 6 PMs that say nothing but Rick Astley.

NEW RULE: Rick Astley is only acceptable if it is in a list with at least twenty other musicians or bands.

By itself will NOTbe counted.

Apparently you don't know how to read, you can chose as many as 40 bands/artists.

And they must be sent to me through PMs, just posting it here isn't good enough.

Basically i'll use an example;

Iron Maiden / Heavy metal.

Basically it's just a / to separate the name of the band and the genre.

When the polls end, i'll count up the number of votes for every artist and band mentioned in the PMs.

I'll add up the votes, i'll user Iron maiden as an example again.

User A says Iron maiden.
User B says Iron Maiden
User C says Bob Dylan.

That means Iron Maiden has two votes and Bob Dylan only has one.

The 100 bands and musicians with the most votes win.

This is easy. The Funk Brothers. The group of detroit musicians who wrote and arranged the vast majority of MoTown's classic hits. Aretha Franklin, The Jackson Five, Marvin Gaye, The Temptations, The Supremes, and on and on. The sad part is the were uncredited for most of their early, most famous work; simply working as session musicians for cash.

They defined modern pop and R&B music as we know it, and their most famous Bass player, James Jamerson pretty much invented modern bass playing. They have played on more #1 tracks than The Beatles, Elvis, The Rolling Stones, and the Beach Boys combined.
