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
