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

[Coatigan]

Positions #66 – #77

Just a reminder that the top 100 so far is updated daily on page #1.

Today, everybody with 7 points is added in.

You know how it is, you wait a long time for a Welsh band to appear and then you get two at once! Stereophonics and Manic Street Preachers both make the top 70. The prog fans will be breaking out the bunting with the appearance of King Crimson. Scratch that, they’ll probably be retreating to their man cave and composing a celebratory symphony on their vintage analogue keyboard. Their wife will call them in for tea and they’ll respond that they won’t be long as they are just finishing their moog solo. Of course, by the time they return to the house, the lights are out and their tea’s in the dog.

Anyway, back on Sanity FM, Soundgarden make it two for the grungies, Glady Knight should keep the soul fans happy and it’s nice to see John Mellencamp, my 2nd favourite artist, in the mix. Well, obviously he’s miles off the lead, but he probably won’t lose too much sleep over that.

Midwestern punk pioneers, Husker Du are in 73rd place, but I’ll leave if for our North American correspondent @FogBlueInSanFran to explain which of the Wikipedia labels I should trust (post-hardcore, noise pop, post-punk or just plain old noisy bastards – OK, I made that last one up).

The Chameleons are the ubiquitous Manc band in this section, and they’re from my hometown of Middleton, so that’s nice.

Soundgarden and Biffy both with just 2 voters. Wonder if it is the same person that is the other that had both in.

No, it was different people.

Thought of this whilst watching Madness last weekend
Simple tune and we can all relate to the words.


Trautman Swift and Neil Young
Bobby Johnstone, Joe Royle
Oakes and Pardoe, Mike Doyle
Francis Lee and Colin Bell
He’s the one we’re going to miss in lots of ways

With the Kippax on the side
Our Ground
Where we loved to moan and sing

Stereophonics - when did Wayne Rooney submit his picks?

I picked them and pretty darn high as well. Kelly did ring me and said he had a soft spot for City and he shagged Rooneys Mrs on their wedding night coz he can't stand the rags. So it's all good.

 

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

So that's me and just one other who voted for The Chameleons.
Just 2 votes.
An absolute disgrace.......

I haven't heard of half of these and after listening to them , I'm glad I haven't

Blackened Sky, the entire album, is just superb.

You beat me to it. Blackened Sky is an awesome listen. Much better than their newer stuff which I also like. Biff live is a great experience they put so much energy into it. Can’t think why I didn’t vote for them now!

 

[Mancitydoogle]
