Blue Moon Top 100 Bands Artists - Full List of Artists (pg 287)

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

Should have been much higher.
Marr and even Morrissey would concur



Steve Currie on bass and in his City away shirt...

T Rex had my vote for sure.

Wish I could be "home" - been 2 and a half years since last came over for my mum's funeral. Was always coming over twice a year but covid screwed that one up.....

To be fair, Covid appears to have fucked the best made plans..........

I don't mean if you just added up the points. It might be a different discussion if you considered the whole body of work as one entity.

I don't mean if you just added up the points. It might be a different discussion if you considered the whole body of work as one entity.

Wouldn't have changed where I ranked them as I had NO #1 and no JD though I like JD (just not enough of a body of work to make them top 15).

I'm one of those that doesn't like that NO plays JD in concert now. It's not cuz they shouldn't do JD without Ian Curtis; it's just I'd rather hear them play more obscure NO stuff than Atmosphere, yet again.

*Clicks on OB1's history of posts, looking for the slightest of reasons to ban him*

 

[PragueBlue]

I am not going to post my 15 as:

a) it fared rather badly

And more importantly:

b) one of the bands on there is going to be my next album pick (on the other thread) and I don't want you all getting too into them before I have had a chance to write a lot of rubbish about how great they are ;-)
