FM Best Artists in the History of Rock and Roll (Nominations Page)

Ok the poll has made its way over here. Hopefully all the interested parties have made their way over as well. Cash won his match-up. This poll is going to be for The final 3 spots in the poll. I will run it 3 times, with the winner moving on each time. Unless there is a clear 3 from this one poll.

Moving on to the tournament:

7 Jimi Hendrix
7 Led Zeppelin
6 The Who
6 Pink Floyd
6 The Doors
6 David Bowie
5 The Velvet Underground
5 Black Sabbath
4 Queen
4 Cream
4 The Allman Brothers Band
4 Simon and Garfunkel
4 The Stooges

If Janis is left out, someone needs a smack upside the head!

Leestu also voted for Janis Joplin. I'll leave this up for a couple more days, but its looking like I will just take the 3 front runners and add them in. Thanks again guys!

I voted for Alice Cooper. I hate myself already for that.

The Band, Janis and Elton move on.

Good to see you get in on the act Shryke. Better late than never. A couple of notes though:

You posted only bands that haven't been mentioned before. I don't know if that was intentional or not. If you want any of the previously mentioned bands to move on, you need to include them in your nominations, as the top 16 bands with the most nominations are the ones that go on.

Also, Queen and David Bowie are already in the tournament for the last era, thus can't be counted. Ironically enough, they are matched up in the first round.

1976-1985

Metallica
Iron Maiden
The Clash
The Ramones
Dead Kennedys
Aerosmith
Van Halen
Billy Idol
Motley Crue

Raising Hell
Talkin' Out the Side of Your Neck

you don't call that rock?? those are all original licks--no samples here

alright fine. But god I hope no one else votes for cameo. Those songs were awful.

lol!

geez, you're in West Haven? i was born in Danbury, raised in New Milford (with family in Roxbury).. got an aunt in Torrington now

I live in Massachusetts but I go to the University of New Haven so most of my time is spent there. That's awesome.

interesting.. me and the lady might be takin' a roadtrip up to around yer parts sometime soonish.. might have to grab a beer with ya--and rock out to some Cameo

If you do you have to let me know. That would be great.

I have relatives in Bedford. If I ever visit, perhaps I'll rent a car and visit you and tranny, geez.

Shryke, you still don't seem to grasp the whole concept of this when you say "if no one else has yet." If someone has added a band you want in the tournament

You have to add them to your list because this is the only way they will get in. They need several votes to get into the top 16 that move on to the tournament.

Also, if you are ever up here, that would be great.
