First 4 were easy
Beatles
Coldplay
Oasis
Queen
Last was more difficult I was torn between Fleetwood Mac, Madness & The Gorillaz, I went with Fleetwood Mac because they're more iconic but now I'm thinking I actually prefer Madness :laugh: Doesn't matter, neither will win anyway I don't think

Haven't voted yet, but will be Beatles and Floyd. Not sure if I'll add any others.
At the start I chose my top 25 out of the 125 entrants and 15 of them made the final.
I split my top 25 into 5 in each poll so I could vote for them all. Gamemasters privlige.

Everyone should have to Vote for the full 5 imo otherwise it's not an accurate result and could be seen as strategic :suspect:

If someone wants to be strategic then choosing the lowest vote tallies to make up the numbers is just as easily done. Don't think I used all 5 votes in any prior round :hmph:

But what's the point in that result then, it's isn't a real result. It should be the best band thought by everyone pfft I could have just not voted for the Beatles to give Queen a better chance

Did you expect anything else.
Voting 5 times should be compulsory, then alf could have a rundown of tibbs top 10, he could do it like totp.

If you think 5 bands deserve to win, vote for 5 bands. I don't think there are 5 bands that deserve to win, and I really like some of the bands. If anything, using fewer votes should give the poll more integrity imo.

No it doesn't though. You pick your 5 favourites (whether you think they should win or not) and the one that most people share a liking for (whether it's their first or fifth favourite) should be the winner because it's most commonly liked by all people
ETA : If it's just which band is most people's No1 favourite then the Poll should only have the option of 1 choice imo :shrug:

I'd take that up with Alfredo if I were you because I've voted consistently throughout, and not once has anyone said I need to use all 5 of my votes :shrug:

I'm not getting angry about it or anything :laugh: I just think it would give a more accurate result that way
I can't make anyone vote for what they vote for I can only not accept your vote if you vote for more than 5 and not alter that in a post.
I would prefer you voted for 5 though. It's not difficult.
Alf just needs to rename the thread to "probably TIBBS favourite band" and then we are sorted

Maybe Paradise

No worries if it’s too late .. many seem to have an inexplicable hatred of Chris Martin and / or Coldplay so it probably won’t make any difference

I've listened to it now if anyone else wants to change it.

Alf is in charge though

15 votes isn't good enough.
It tells me that there's no desire for a second series.

Maybe the Non Uk competition would be more popular or take the top 10 though and add all the ones from the rest of the worldtk have a World Best Group / Band ?
Maybe a solo performer one ( Worldwide )
That said it’s an awful lot of work ..

it is not over, Alf
you do know that i am never online in the evenings, and i really wanted to vote still
at the top there is now a tie on 12 each Beatles/Queen, closely followed by Oasis at 10
the Stones seem to be winning the title of best of the rest, currently at 7

The Beatles started everything ... everyone and everything else simply followed ... even the genius Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys said that everyone was playing catch-up with the Beatles
