Battle of the Bands Classic Rock/Prog/Psychedelic edition. NOMINATIONS
Similar to Ethans best artist thing, but for the genres listed above.
The limitations are: 1. Have to have released an album before 1980. 2. 5 bands/artists will be excluded: The Beatles, Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd; this is to stop this being a one sided competition, and to educate, or promote more less well known bands. The nominations and seeding procedure will be as follows: Each member may nominate 10 new bands, if a band has already be nominated they may add extra support to other nominated bands to increase their chances in seeding. There is no limit to this. If you nominate another band that is already nominated it will count as one more vote of support. For the seeding, each band will be put into one of 5 tiers, the most nominated bands will be in the first and so on. Round one will comprise of many polls of 5 bands, each poll will run for 2 days simultaneously with 4 other polls. The bands chosen for each poll will be one from each tier. Example of seeding/support: Post one: Nominates: King Crimson Jethro Tull Frank Zappa Magma Mountain Ash band Comus Wishbone Ash Gentle Giant Rush Camel Post two Nominates: Genesis Eagles Goblin Titus Groan Fleetwood Mac Bodkin Room Creedence Clearwater Revival Mahavishnu Orchestra Grateful Dead Support: Wishbone Ash Jethro Tull Gentle Giant Rush A note on “folk artists” while Bob Dylan has been excluded as with the other 4 bands straightforward folk artists such as Nick Drake won’t be able to be nominated. To be nominated they have to be generally considered, prog, psych or classic rock, many often consider Dylan to be one of the Classic Rock artists because of his influence on the genre and some albums being very much of the sound. NOTE: More Rules Will Be Posted About the Group Stages once we reach it, main rules will be: 5 bands per group, single choice poll, two bands progress, 5 tier seeding process, and the number of nominated bands will be limited to a multiple of 5 or the highest supported groups will automatically get to round 2 if we have an uneven number. 5 Tiers: 1st: The Bob Dylan Bracket 2nd: The Led Zeppelin Bracket 3rd: The Pink Floyd Bracket 4th: The Beatles Bracket 5th: The Ethan Smith is Rolled and Stoned Bracket |
My nominations:
Frank Zappa Comus Jethro Tull Magma Bodkin Room Goblin Titus Groan Mountain Ash Band The Yardbirds Note: You can have two posts of approval in this thread. Ie; you can have your first post to nominate and approve what has been nominated so far, and then another later to approve more bands that have been nominated since. |
I suggest you call the four brackets The Dylan, Zeppelin,Beatles and Pink Floyd brackets
|
What about the fifth bracket?
|
The Ethan Smith bracket.

You can have the least popular bands :D

Props on the Rare Bird and Cap Brown :D
But King Crimson hasn't been nommed yet to my surprise, so that'll include in nominations, no need to edit your post I'll just note it in the database. |
If I want to support a band that's been nommed since my post should i just make another post or edit my original?
|
Make another post, since it would be hard for me to keep up with constantly editing posts, you're only allowed to support bands in two posts (one of those posts will of course be the original nominations post), so I'd wait a bit until more bands are nominated.
|
Gotcha. Yeah I'll wait, I was only going to support KC.
|
What does everyone think about my support method when it comes to seeding? I ran a similar competition elsewhere and people kept bitching on and on about how bull**** it was that so many good bands were in groups together, and at the time I was using Access random number generator to seed them. Now if people bitch, it will just be their own fault :D

The problem with that is that I need a running tally and in the end it would be more work, Nominations will end either on the 15th or 24th of December depending on how many nominations I have and if I have a clear set of brackets or not.
|
Nominations:
Yes David Bowie Black Sabbath Steely Dan Todd Rundgren Neil Young Gentle Giant ELP Support: Jimi Hendrix The Doors Genesis Queen King Crimson Frank Zappa The Residents |
So I only nominate bands that haven't been nominated yet (that I like) and support the bands that have been? Super confused...
Nominates: The Byrds The Zombies Cream The Monkees The Mamas and Papas I'll lay off supporting because we are supposed to wait until we have all nominated everyone? I |
You can support twice, so you still have two posts of supporting. And yes you can only nominate bands that have not been nominated before, but that being said if you just name 10 bands I'll sort out the nominations from the supports. I have everything on access sorted alphabetically so it's no problem.
|
Cool, thanks.
|
Come on guys I know there's more bands than this!
|
Massively confused but...
Nom: Thin Lizzy Gong Soft Machine Hawkwind Van Der Graaf Generator Sup: Frank Zappa King Crimson |
Well you did it right so you can't have been that confused :D
