Battle of the Bands [Round 5 - Semi Finals - Vote Now!]
 

I'm thinking a new music-game is in order.

Basically - find the best band of all time. Simple task, right?

So - I need a shortlist of bands to participate. No, Twilight, not All Time Low.

I need...64 bands. I'd like to include solo artists but that would rather go against the name of the game. But oh well. The thought of Bowie not being in is too much, so I'll accept them too :p

Some obvious ones to start with:

The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Oasis, Led Zeppelin, Queen, ABBA, Fleetwood Mac, Bob Dylan, Iron Maiden...

once I have enough I'll run a series of polls and votes on a knockout basis.

Throw ideas at me ;) Remember, it's all time, so suggestions of Chipmunk and Pixie Lott can **** off.

good idea! right off the stop of my head...:

Beach boys
The Who
The Kinks
Queens of the Stone Age
