Top 16 Bands / Artists of Rock & Roll

Posted on: April 23, 2008 12:57 pm
 
Following the success of the Greatest Album Ever in Rock and Roll history contest started by DDriver I thought the same type bracket challenge to determine who the users of these CBS boards would choose as the greatest Performer / Band in the same genre would be a natural.

I would like to run a bracket competition for both single artists as well as groups. I am pretty sure that many members of nominated bands will find themselves in the "singles" brackets also.

I am curious to see which of the non obvious choices will join The Beatles, Stones, Led Zeppelin, The Who and few others in the 16 for Bands as well as who joins Eric Clapton and others as single acts.

So let the nominations begin. Please submit your top ten for consideration in both categories.

I will compile the top 16 for both and submit any ties to the group for a vote off.

Top 16 Bands / Artists of Rock & Roll

Yank,

Are you looking for top ten "non-obvious choices" or should I include the "number 1" seeds if I think they belong in my top ten list?

Thanks,

OP

About What's On My Mind
Well I have picked a new topic that everybody has an opinion on, The Boob Tube. I am sure I will see many shows listed here that I forgot about and a few I wish I could forget. There is no right or wrong answer here. It is just about what shows you couldn't wait to see, the ones you talked about with your friends or co-workers or were sad to see go off the air. I hope when you see the shows listed it brings back fond memories.
