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

[PragueBlue]

Feel free to guess - I was going to do a “guess the super six” when we get to the top 6.

1 The Beatles
2 Led Zeppelin
3 Oasis
4 Pink Floyd
5 New Order
6 Rolling Stones
7 Smiths
8 Nirvana
9 Stone Roses
10 Genesis

Would be my guess (definitely not my choice though!) but I'm probably forgetting somebody obvious and not 100% sure that one or two of those may have already featured on the list.

Joe Dolce ...... oops
Kept Vienna by Ultravox off No1 in the Charts iirc
I thought one or two of the artists might be contentious but Clive Dunn died years ago and St Winfreds split up over artistic differences.

Deservedly so as well

 

[bennyboy]

No way will Nirvana be in the top 10.
They might scrape into the top 50.

It may well be true (and if you don’t get that one, nobody will!)


There’s definitely some I don’t like in there.
There’s definitely some that don’t deserve to be there.
There may still be a nasty surprise in store.

When I say “don’t deserve”, people voted for what they voted for, so who am I to argue, but, well, you know ......

I'm guessing you are talking about Led Zeppelin.? Screeching voice that is like listening to someone scrape their nails down a blackboard

Pistols and the Jam

1 The Beatles
2 Led Zeppelin
3 Oasis
4 Pink Floyd
5 New Order
6 Rolling Stones

8 Nirvana
9 Stone Roses
10 Genesis

The Pistols or the Jam to replace Nirvana.
The other to be number 11.

No Nirvana but Dire Straits and Bowie will be there

Looks like the Jam or the pistols missing out.

 

[PragueBlue]

No Nirvana but Dire Straits and Bowie will be there

Missed that Nirvana had already been. Maybe Dire Straits at 11 and Bowie at 8 then. Or maybe bennyboy's suggestion of the Jam.

 

[FogBlueInSanFran]

I don't know the order. I predict:

Beatles
Stones
Led Zep
Pink Floyd
Bowie
Oasis
Smiths
New Order
Stone Roses
Jam
Genesis

I think The Pistols miss out, and they should with one good (albeit hugely important) record.

I don't think the Stone Roses with one good (albeit I think very good) record belong anywhere near this list but they'll make it. And people call Rush a cult?

I project the big miss to be Roxy Music (mostly because I voted for them).

I personally think The Jam are quite overrated but I like them okay. Can't see this crowd not voting for them.

I personally think Dire Straits are quite overrated and I dislike them so it will annoy me if they make it in.

If I'm wrong about any of this someone really big is going to miss out entirely.

 

[Citizen Mike]

Rush is a cult (that I'm in) and I'm surprised so many others are members and I certainly understand the dislike they inspire. But dissing Neil Young? Really? I'm no Bob Dylan fan but I respect his work and can see why he inspires love; same with Springsteen. Should be the same with Young even if one isn't a personal fan of his stuff.

Every night I listen to the latest vote so on Wednesday night I had a listen to Neil Young. I wasn't offended by it but I found it very lame. My wife was offended by it and told me to "switch that shit off ". Each to their own.
