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

[Resurrection Joe...]

It will be a Tragedy if they don’t make to Top 10

Edit - just realised I’ve admitted to knowing a Steps song, I need a lie down

Bee Gees song fella...

 

[MCFCTrick]

I don't think I'll be revisiting the Sleaford Mods

Bag o shite

Good sweet Jesus, me either. Utter wank.

 

[N1985]

Never heard of them.
Are they like the Dooley's

Better pal. Voices like angels

 

[AlexWilliamsGloves]

The Charlatans are possibly/probably my favourite band of all time...when i take into account number of (decent) albums, longevity, times ive seen live as well as impact theyve had on me....

The next set of artists covers everybody else with 6 points. The Stockport jury have voted in their favourite sons, 10cc; no doubt Rage Against The Machine will be shouting about nudging ahead of The Charlatans (well, if their debut album is anything to go by, they seem to shout about everything else anyway); Pearl Jam are the first grunge band to appear, but will they be the last?

The rest of the word team had a good day here with Canada’s Arcade Fire, German synth kings Kraftwerk (who could forget their classic “Jah, das hokey-cokey?”) and U2 making an appearance, whilst Johnny Cash is walking the line (that is, if there is a line between 84th and 85th position).

Meanwhile, whilst Half Man Half Biscuit they may have only wanted a Dukla Prague away kit for Christmas, I’m sure they’ll be more than satisfied by finishing 83rd in the Blue Moon poll.

Videos to follow.

Think 10cc are in for more reason than Geography. They were a clever, cracking band. Their debut album is one of the finest debuts from any band. In fact difficult to name a band that released three such consistently brilliant albums as their first three.

 

[PragueBlue]

I haven't had one of mine yet.

Me neither. I suspect I may end up with only a couple of mine in the top 100.

 

[Resurrection Joe...]

Me neither. I suspect I may end up with only a couple of mine in the top 100.

Had 3...Blondie, Dusty and Amy...no blokes yet though...

 

[Citizen Mike]

Just to put this poll into context for you oldies?. I have just shown this list to a 26 year old to see how many of these artists she has heard of? The answer is Amy Winehouse. She had heard blondie and madness when I played them but not U2!?
Everyone will always pick artists from their era.

 

[MCFC1993]

None of mine yet but expected to be honest, my main music taste is very different to most of them. Plus I was born after most of their primes.

I suspect I might have 4/5 in there by the end just because of the sheer size of the artist and they align closely with what's already on the board.

Yeah, 10cc produced some very good stuff. I only started buying their albums in recent years (greatest hits aside) although I did see them live in 70's; although still post Godley & Creme.
