Fourth Cellar Field of 64: Rock bands
 

you read it....


Who are they?



(*of course this is a wide spec.... porn actors, political actor, humorous,drama actors,

Are the actors man or woman?, do they make you think or emotive?

could you watch an indie movie with no language you can understand and vote for that attempt)?

wouldn't this be the 4th field of 64? or the 2nd 3rd field of 64?

Damn straight, LJ!!
the 4th call!!

Traditionally we have suggestions for bracket fillers. Yay or nay


Lynyrd Skynyrd
The Rolling Stones
The Beatles
The Allman Bros

It's bands anyway.

Can i puleeze PML @ Wham....sorry Cyclefrance (I do have their albums though) but I have decided you have good taste for an ...err...old guy :p

Duran Duran 2nded - saw them 3 years ago

Sorry about the tears down the trouserleg - ur probably right about Wham, altho Georgie boy deserves a mention - and I shouldn't have listed so many, but getting up to 64 looked like a heavy task so there's gonna be a few lightweights in there that would doubtkess disappear quite quickly...

Surprising how quickly groups come and go though - there are quite a few from the 70's, 80's and 90's that I haven't mentioned but can add if necessary because of a shortfall - always steering clear as much as possible from New Romantics that will generally not fit in that well....

PS - at least I remembered INXS:p

Also want to second for seeding purposes

Beatles
The Who
Rolling Stones
Jimi Hendrix
Aerosmith

I do feel a bit bad that I forgot INXS, but shit happens.

Give 'em a second - they deserve it...

I seconded "yes"

I also sencond "Grateful Dead".... those whacky druggies went for years on tour with millions of fans.... AND with no "produced" albums...

They only wanted quality bootlegs of their concerts.

If i were to approach Garcia and ask them to sign my pirated copy(s)
(unlike Metallica) they would.

Ok, then.

Elvis Costello and the Attractions

How can a dead guy (as opposed to a Dead Guy) sign a copy?:cool:

Time for two late arrivals?

ELO (Eledctric Light Orchestra)
Eurythmics

and for the obligatory group:

James Brown and the Flames

Nominations will remain open until there are no nominations or seconds for a while. Since the place is slow, there could be some folks who aren't reading all the threads, who would want to participate... as long as we don't get re-farked soon, the performance problems should die down soon.

U2
Duran Duran
INXS
Simple Minds

I'm thinking after we've done 64 of them, we can then have a meta-field of 64 and pit them all against each other.

Seeding might be a bitch though.

seeding sounds dirty....


did I say that already?


Buddy Holly inspired John Lennon and the early skiffle Quarrymen (including McCartney) ....

so, i guess even though the Beatles and Stones raped the music field with "Britsh pop blues"

OK

second the bloomming bloodsucking bastard BEATLES (the stones would be a followup, but they just tagged alone and tried to be different)

mmmmm..... talking of seeds.... how about the 3 seeds of the brit '60 rock movement.....

Yardbirds
John Mayalls BluesBreakers
Alexis Korner Set

Second BluesBreakers
oh, yeah - Jefferson Starship nee Airplane
Janis Joplin
Commander Cody and the Lost Planet Airmen (joke)
Dianna Ross and the Supremes (we need to honor Mo' town, as well)

I'm gonna second Red Hot Chili Peppers so they at least make the field.

I'll 2nd RHCP too, they really do rock.

Can Machine Gun Fellatio get a look in?? Bet no one else really knows them.
