April Anguish! Nominations Needed!

[Dastardos]

Okay so I was thinking and after talking to a few other users we thought that this could be fun.

It is essentially March Mayhem except substituting Game Developers with Music Musicians.
I'm going to allow the public to pick the bands to participate in this then I will make a bracket.

So start suggesting bands to be in the bracket. Once we have enough bands and the bracket is made voting will begin.

Please No Flaming

Note: You can nominate as many bands as you want per post, and can have multiple posts, but not back to back and not all nominations will make it. This is a 64 band bracket.

[ellimist337]

I'll nominate Bob Dylan. Oldie but a goodie, and you can't deny the influence he had.

 

[SunGryphon]

I'll nominate Pink Floyd. I have to stop there otherwise I'd list like 20.

 

[xitel]

I am going to suggest Harry Chapin. Easily one of the greatest songwriters and singers of our generation, and arguably one of the best of several past generations as well.

 

[Pimppeter2]

I would have been easier if you had limited to 1 genre

 

[Falconknight06]

I'll have to post the obvious and say The Beatles. Their influence on popular music is hard to deny.

 

[Dastardos]

I'm nominating

Senses Fail, Blue October and Blink 182 are my nominations.

 

[Berethond]

Herbie Hancock
Miles Davis
Stratovarius

 

[Flying-Emu]

Since the Beatles have already been nominated, I'll nominate B.B. King, arguably the most influential guitarist of the last fifty years.

 

[Ruzzian Roulette]

I nominate Rush, IMO the most musically technical band ever. And Metallica, the most influential metal band ever.

 

[thebobmaster_v1legacy]

I nominate Boston, Iron Maiden, and Judas Priest.

 

[Higurashi]

Yeah.. Ronan Harris. VNV Nation has some of the most powerful music and lyrics. Infected Mushroom as well, for making the best Psytrance ever made.

 

[Dragonrabbit]

I'll have to go with Dick Dale for revolutionizing guitar playing... sort of.
Led Zeppelin too, because you know... it's Led Zeppelin.
And since you gave me three nominations, Streetlight Manifesto.

Also you guys might want to come up with some sweet new alliteration instead of using mayhem again.

 

[DirkGently]

No list is complete without Godspeed You! Black Emperor. Or Miles Davis. I'll also throw out the Aussie band Faker, and the phoenix that rose out of the ashes of Joy Divison[/b], New Order. And Joy Division too. Oh, and Beck. Beck is just awesome. To throw two more bands from the wonderful world of Post Rock, there is Mogwai and God Is An Astronaut. Oh, and If These Trees Could Talk. General Awesomeness submits Giraffes? Giraffes! and Enablers. Classics gets The Kinks, The Rolling Stones, and Gram Parsons. All Time Best Musician Fucking Ever is Nick Drake. I'll give in Rob Crow, and Heavy Vegetable, Pinback, Thingy, Other Men. Silversun Pickups as well.

[ellimist337]

Gigantic-ass list of bands/musicians

Whoa, Dirk. Settle down. Can you pick 3 of those for starters? It's probably only going to be able to be a 65 contestant field.

EDIT: Eh, I guess don't worry about it. Also, I've returned to nominate Queen and the Kaiser Chiefs.

I decided screw it, you can nominate an unlimited amount per post.
Only 64 bands will make it into the bracket though.

 

[Blind0bserver]

Massive Attack

 

[SunGryphon]

I'll nominate Yes and the Who also, then. And Jimi Hendrix.

 

[ThePoodonkis]

Tool
