RedCafe's Top 100 Bands & Artists Ever - Submission/Discussion Thread

[Duffy]

**NOTE:PLEASE READ ALL RULES CAREFULLY AND USE THE NEW TEMPLATE PROVIDED***

Welcome once again to the latest in the series of threads to find out what the caf rates as the best forms of entertainment of all time.

This will run alongside the Top 50 Toys and Top 50 Directors Threads which will be up and running tomorrow night once the final Comedians are counted down.

This thread will contain the submissions and discussion, feel free to discuss your choices but please post your submission clearly in its own post in the format below. Submissions are to be within the below set criteria, I will be moderating the thread through to the closing date and will PM anyone who's submitted list does not fit into the set criteria, asking them to amend it.

RULES OF SUBMISSION

- Submit a list of the 20 Bands or Artists you view as the best in history.

- Make sure to put the Band or Artists full name.

- Bands or Artists must have released 1 full length LP to qualify.

- You can name an Artist who is also a member of a band and both can be included in your Top 20 - for example you could have both Sting and The Police. I'm not sure why you would...but you could.

- Feel free to include songs throughout but please keep these separate from your actual submission post.

- Only lists posted in this thread will be counted.

- Bands/Artists must be in a set order from 1 to 20. Each entry will score a set mark depending on their ranking. A posters number 1 will gain 15 points, number 2 will gain 14 points, and so on with numbers 15 to 25 all gaining a single point.

- Lists are to be submitted in the format shown in below. **NOTE: Please no longer number your entries. This makes it easier for me to gather up all results.*** The lists will be compiled and the scores totted up to compile a top 100.

- All entries must be submitted in the format shown.

- Submissions will be accepted up to midnight on Friday 10th October. Up to this time and date people are free to come back and edit their lists.

- Once again, USE THE FECKING TEMPLATE! ANY LIST'S NOT IN THE FORMAT OF THE TEMPLATE WILL NOT BE COUNTED. Thanks

Not to be a stickler but you can't have just Nick Cave.

Surely people voting for Jimi Hendrix aren't voting for him as a solo artist but for the band The Jimi Hendrix Experience? Did he even have a solo career?

Points taken and fixed.

Not sure where the line is drawn though - is Captain Beefheart solo, or with the band? Is it GYBE! or GY!BE? I'm trusting Duffy to group them sensibly. Not that it will matter of course.
