80's alternative survivor
Pretty quiet here these days so I don't know if this will work but if it dies it dies no biggie.
I've listed 20 classic alternative bands. Everyone votes the bands off until there is one left standing to be proclaimed the greatest alternative band of all time!  The bands: 1. The Cure 2. The Smiths 3. Public Image 4. Joy Division 5. Bauhaus 6. Killing Joke 7. The Cramps 8. Siouxie and the banshees 9. Ministry 10. Sonic Youth 11. Nick cave & the Bad Seeds 12. Birthday Party 13. Dead can Dance 14. Violent Femmes 15. Sisters of Mercy 16. The Pogues 17. The Jesus and Mary Chain 18. Skinny Puppy 19. The Cult 20. The Dead Milkmen 21. Pixies 22. Echo & the Bunnymen (added) 23. Gang of Four (added) 24. Mission of Burma (added) Rules and notes 1. You vote off two bands you don't like until we get to the top 10 than it is one band 2. I will let this sit for a week, to see if enough people want to play, than I will set a two day closing time for voting, but you can start voting now 3. If there are bands that you think should be added by all means let me know, I edited off some of my favs to go with the familiar. 4. Example how you play. I don't really like The Pixies or Sonic Youth so I vote Pixies Sonic Youth so feel free to vote away Last edited by William_the_Bloody; 05-12-2014 at 12:00 AM. |

^Blasphemer!
Yeah The Cult has to go....and I'd say knock of Dead Can Dance but only because I don't think they stand a chance against the big names up there

I also vote The Pogues and The Cult out.
And I'll suggest Gang of Four and Cocteau Twins for additions to the list.

I agree on The cult but i say keep the Pogues.
shouldn't they be eliminated after a set amount of votes? you should maybe specify that number..

 11. Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds/Birthday Party are really not one of my favorites on that list.

Maybe once a band gets five votes they're eliminated? Also, how many times can we vote? It wouldn't be fair to vote over and over in order to get the five needed to eliminate, but there's only going to be so many people interested in the thread. Maybe one vote per round? I dunno, just throwing it out there. This could be a lot of fun, I'd hate to see it die. |
