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

[roman totale]

The Fall probably finished higher than I anticipated, which is good. Sticks in my craw to see them immediately below the world’s most over-rated band though.

Always been partial to S&G and went to see them on their reunion tour in 2003/4. They were great.

Honestly couldn’t name a single song by Yes, although I’m sure I must’ve heard some.

Yes first one in The Clash.
Even better higher than Yes.
So far only The Fall and Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds had a chance of being on my list.

Breaking rocks in the hot sun,
BennyBoy’s happy ‘cos he’s got one,

Yes, @bennyboy roars onto the scoreboard as he picked the top artist in this section: Combat rockers, The Clash. As far as I can see, there’s only two voters who haven’t had one of their picks appear yet: @denislawsbackheel and @KnaresboroughBlue.

The last batch of artists before we hit the top 20 (well, the Top 21) and I can already hear the cheering in some quarters.

Another couple of Mancs with The Fall and Morrissey. Say what you want about Morrissey, but for somebody with a voice that sounds like Bobcat Goldthwaite (Zed from the Police Academy films), he’s done alright for himself.

I know I joked earlier in the thread about discarding all votes for The Smiths, but I wouldn’t do that. I thought that it was fairer to round all the points up for The Smiths and Morrissey and put them here. I wonder how fans of The Smiths are feeling? Heaven knows they’re miserable now.

Marvin Gaye is the top soul artist in the list and is joined by 60s folk duo Simon and Garfunkel. Prog rockers Yes saw strong enough support to lift them to 27th place.

Cute, though some musical pain-in-the-sphincter would say you chose a Clash lyric that isn’t originally a Clash lyric :).

They were near my top 15. The first record (the original UK release of COURSE) and London Calling are near-perfect.

Also (shhhhhhh) Big Audio Dynamite are a (I said SHHHHHHH) guilty pleasure of mine.

I like The Fall. I note your user name. However, this comment is ban-worthy.

Also everyone knows Radiohead is the world’s most overrated band.

Oh my god yes please. Or do we do overrated? How about “bands other people like but you think are shit?”

Love The Clash & London Calling but my go to album is Sanadista. Love the Dub tracks . When the album came out I didn’t like it and didn’t listen to it again for about 5yrs and I then over played LC
