The Greatest Ever Band/Artist World Cup

[Rob]

It's basically what it says in the title! You've seen this threads for every other thing but music and I think it's time we got cracking on this.

The gist of it is this;

From every person I would a nomination of your favourite band or artist from each decade. Anything that has released a record.

So this is how it goes;

60s
The Beatles
Jimi Hendrix Experience

70s
Led Zeppelin
The Who
T-rex
Black Sabbath
Alice Cooper
Queen
Rush
Fleetwood Mac
the Kinks
Pink Floyd
The Ramones
Saxon
The Doors
The Clash
Creedance Clearwater Revival
Lynyrd Skynyrd
Rolling Stones

80s
Metallica
The Pixies
Iron Maiden
Guns n Roses
AC/DC
Megadeath
Billy Idol
The Cure
Sonic Youth
Dire Straits
The Jam
The Police
The Smiths
Motley Crue
U2

90s
Fugazi
Oasis
No Doubt
Faith No More
Smashing Pumpkins
Sublime
Pearl Jam
RHCP
Pantera
Green Day
Slayer
Nirvana
Counting Crows
Radiohead
Dinosaur Jr
Alice in Chains
Screaming Trees

00s
The Strokes
Pink
Five Finger Death Punch
The Offspring
Linkin Park
Lost Prophets
The Killers
The White Stripes
Incubus
Deftones
Jimmy Eat World
Foo Fighters
Be Your Own Pet
Queens of the Stone Age
Shinedown
Disturbed :D

After this, I will randomly put an assortment of one band/artist from each decade into a group of FOUR. From that, you can nominate your top artist from each group, regardless of decade. There will be no duplicates... If there aren't enough 60s bands then they will be replaced with a 00s band, or any other band that there are too many of in a particular decade.

And then after that, much like the World Cup, each of the top two from every group will go through to face off against the others from each group, until there is a final.

It truly is the World Cup of Music.

You have two weeks to reply your nominations into this topic at 23:59 on the 1st of April, or until I deem the thread to be dead.

Remember, NO REPEATS because that will disrupt the order.

60s.. Beatles
70s..Led Zepplin
80s.. Metallica

[Kendell Smith]

70s - The Who
80s - Pixies
90s - Pearl Jam
00s - The Strokes

Dammit Gary you got in there with Led Zep before me. The Who... a close second me thinks

Actually scrap that they were 60s

[Gary]

Seeing as Rob called me out on it, I do want to explain why I ignored the 2000s and added the 60s...don't have a 00s band I love, and for a thread like this felt the Beatles needed to be mentioned.

[Rob]

You can chose the Who if you want! Quadrophenia was '73

EDIT:

I'm thinking chosing four different decades shouldn't matter too much, so if you wanna do 50s 60s, 90s, 00s, go for it. It's the same decades being in the same group I'm trying to avoid... So that will give me the option to mix up the groups as much as possible.

[Kendell Smith]

Right! Switched back to The Who so 

[Drama Queen]

70s - T-Rex
80s - Iron Maiden
90s - Red Hot Chilli Peppers
00s - Pink

Damn you Janitor for taking my band even though I see Offspring as 90's but meh at least they are in the polls

70's- Rush
80's-Billy Idol
90's- Nirvana
00's- Linkin Park

[Adam Wrong]

70s Fleetwood Mac
80s The Cure

[The Janitor]

Josh, opnly reason i did that was bacause i wanted Slayer in there lol. You could put them in 80s 90s or 00s technically, and like you, i thought as long as they're in there somewhere

[Kendell Smith]

70s Fleetwood Mac
80s The Cure
90s Counting Crows
00s The Killers

The Killers. NICE!! My pleasure. Brandon Flowers is my ultimate man (apart from Ian.. Obviously!)

[Tim-Æ]

I don't understand why you're doing this, most of the people here have awful taste in music. In the end, Disturbed will win or some shitty metal band of the like. Nevertheless...

70s - The Kinks
80s - Sonic Youth
90s - Radiohead
00s - The White Stripes
