Battle of the Bands

vic_orthdox · 03-07-2005, 05:40 PM

OK, this is pretty much just a rip off of a thing that Triple M (an Aus radio station) do every now and again. I'll name two bands, and in the following 24 hours people post who they want to go through to the next round. Whoever gets the most votes wins that battle, whoever loses is knocked out.

We need to establish a squad of 32 bands/artists to do battle. I'll name 32 bands now, and any changes that you'd like to see made will be considered. If you want to see a band included, then indicate who you'd like to see them replace.

32 Bands/Artists

Beastie Boys
Coldplay
Athlete
Radiohead
Eminem
Smiths, The
Williams, Robbie
U2
Rolling Stones
Guns 'N' Roses
Timberlake, Justin
Nirvana
Franz Ferdinand
Killers, The
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
Presley, Elvis
Jackson, Michael
Oasis
Jamiroquai
Matchbox 20
50 Cent
Crowded House
Scribe
Muse
Beatles, The
Pearl Jam
Snoop Dogg
Brown, James
Feeder
Mars Volta
Linkin Park
Slipknot

Rules

You may only post a vote once per battle.
Only votes made within the 24 hours of the battle being declared will be counted. This will be adhered to very strictly.
There will be only this thread for this competition.
How this thread reads at the end of the 24 hour period is how the votes shall be registered.
You have 48 hours from the time of this post to make suggestions for the make-up of the 32.

We need one or 2 physcos atleast in there eg Marilyn Manson..Korn...Disturbed..Slipknot.

vic_orthdox · 03-07-2005, 06:00 PM

Yup, agreed. What about Slipknot for Kylie? She'll be an easybeat.

Sir Redman · 03-07-2005, 06:48 PM

Pretty good idea...I can see Coldplay winning this from the number of fans they seem to have on here.

I'm always a bit hesitant to vote for new bands, because even if I like them now I can't be sure that they will stand the test of time. So you'll probably find me voting for the older band if I like two equally.

Great idea Jack. But yeh, I think Coldplay will win.

Where is Jesse McCartney and the Game?

FaaipDeOiad · 03-07-2005, 11:50 PM

In behalf of myself and BoyBrumby, I'd like to see Nick Cave on the list somewhere.

Maybe to replace The Bravery.

Simon · 03-07-2005, 11:52 PM

Matchbox Twenty are quite popular on here too, maybe they can get a spot in the 32...

All of the above are terrible excuses for metal. There are far superior and less gimmicky bands about.

Very happy with that. I think that "The Bravery" are covered by "The Killers".

Well, who are they to replace? Especially seeing they've released a total of 2 songs of any real note between them.

Yes, bad mistake by mine. Who to replace though?

EDIT: Put them in for Jet. I only had Jet there coz I was looking forward to them getting smashed.
