The 2010 Official ATK Best Band Poll Series - Nominations and Preview

Can I change my DC Slater nomination to Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb? God knows how Floyd got left out, and indie is kind of expendable nowadays

Changed over. Sorry about the facerape - didn't know it was meant to be quotes. Removed the comment.

EDIT2 - This bracket is now defunct, due to poplar demand for entries.

Spoiler:

EDIT - The first round is decided, all additional entries up you 48 will have a bye to the next round. Any entries after 48 to 64, and I'll figure a way of sorting it. As usual, all matches were generated with a random number generator, and I have no control on who faces who. And before anyone says it's a fix that BB get a bye, please note that my other three are against three of the most popular nominations.

The Animals vs. Jonathan Coulton
Jay-Z vs. Chevelle
You Me At Six vs. Bon Jovi
Bloc Party vs. Thin Lizzy
Buckethead vs. Fountains of Wayne
The Prodigy vs. The Clash
Jimmy Hendrix vs. Sneaky Sound System
Bob Marley vs. Nickelback
Rage Against The Machine vs. Bob Dylan
Three Days Grace vs. Guns'n'Roses
Bright Eyes vs. Lynyrd Skynyrd
Pendulum vs. System Of A Down
Pink Floyd vs. Madness
Aerosmith vs. Rammstein
Black Eyes Peas vs. Sub Focus
Queen vs. Muse

Byes:
Breaking Benjamin
Rolling Stones
Powerman 5000
Eminem
Bowling For Soup
Foo Fighters
Red Hot Chilli Peppers
Dire Straits
The Beatles

Sweet, I put your message to DK in the new quote oric so everyone can see what am angry serious face you are :D

What can I say - it wasn't formatted when I read it, and I'd already stated the rules before hand. I've apologised and retracted the initial statement made, as it was a small error which made the post look different.

heh, no need to make a big deal out of it targ. Mistakes happen... breakdowns in communication and such.

So... no one did The Who?

And for good reason. They played the Super Bowl half-time show this year, and were absolutly terrible. There was a campaign to get one of them banned from playing because he was on the sex offenders register here ages ago, and to be honest, I wished it had succeeded, because they really were that bad.

Iron Maiden

Good one

...no scorpions either. Ah well, guess it takes all sorts...

If we are not at 48 by Friday, I'll add in some of these bands as wild cards, as most of them are actually a given.

Simply because I've been following it throughout on the sly and saw there are more bands needed...

Metallica - Heavy Metal - Master of Puppets
Coheed & Cambria - Alt Rock - Welcome Home
Linkin Park - Alt Rock/ Nu Metal - One Step Closer
Limp Bizkit - Nu Metal - Rollin'

I didn't even know you still came here Midge :D

I'll add them in later on.

Who's midge ???

hasn't Linkin Park already been added?

I still check the forums regularly, just rarely post or am too busy at uni.
I checked the list and LP hadnt been added to it
and who am i? I've been here since 2007 by the looks of my join date, used to play CS:S and PR a lot with vox

Didn't mean to be rude just :p didn't know but thats probably due to me never going on TS.

Kanye West, tell us how many you need on thursday and we can throw some randoms out there for wild cards :D

I'll figure out the randoms - and I would rather crush my testicles in a vice before I selected Kanye West for one.

Whilst I agree with you completeley on Kanye West oric, things like this are the reason people refuse to enter this and claim its biased towards you.

Just put him in and let him get crushed in the first round.

I meant in terms of a wild card nom. If someone actually nominated him for real, then I would have to put him in. I'd ridicule the person for eternity, but he would be in.

The eagles/deep purple perhaps for a random?

Zomg Midge! Long time no talk.



Will wait for the polls, if Kanye West makes it through I shall be disappoint.

I was only jokin with Kanye btw, i doubt the most hated man could have a chance :D

Maybe just give people an extra nom?

Would be very biased if you choose them as you have a very different taste in music to others (me) :p

OK, following Chris's suggestion - EVERYONE NOW HAS FIVE NOMINATIONS. As said yesterday, you have until 2359 GMT on Friday to get nominations in.

heh, better stick DC Slater - Reflections back in then...

OK, updated to here, the previous bracket is now rendered as speculative and will not be used.

Just cleaning up what has been missed as I haven't nominated at all so far :)

Biffy Clyro - Latest album is pretty dam good.
Blink 182
Def Lepard
Green Day
Santana


Will add some videos if people want them.

Slipknot can take up my 5th spot i think!

Couldn't leave them out for best bands of all time,

Temptations as my fifth please.

Johnny Cash! Ring of Fire obviously.

Can you remove my current nominations oric plz.

Not interested in following this as everyone here obviously has a completely different taste in music that i hate lol.

I won't take them out, cause I'm voting pendulum and prodigy over most of the stuff. Besides, I need the numbers :D

I like pendulum and most of them but I wouldn't vote them best of all time thats all.

Thats the problem.

Everyones looking at this poll as this other than me n chris.

Im not saying people like the beatles etc wernt good and changed the face of music, im saying if i had a choice id rather listen to something more modern and less boring.

Locking thread for now since deadline for noms has passed. It will take me a while to sort out how to do this, so bear with me.
