Chris Martin was wrong. Coldplay is actually the 16th greatest band of all time, not the 7th.

Sorry for the delay in posting the results guys; I'm currently on holiday so not spending much time on the computer; but anyway they're all up now and the next round will be up soon enough. And remember if anyone ever has any questions about any of this just ask; and if you want to start participating in the competition go ahead and do so

Chris Martin was wrong. Coldplay is actually the 16th greatest band of all time, not the 7th.

I wonder if they'll stay there though; anything could change over the next 14 matches

I am so beyond surprised that the Dresden Dolls lost to Sinatra.

Sinatra seems to be really popular here; that sorta surprised me a little

Jane's and Pixies Hanging Tuff...like they was Donnie Wahlberg and Joey MacIntyre and shit. Nice.

 

[Bono's shades]

I'm shocked Morrissey is doing better than the Smiths. I like Morrissey solo, but it's just not the same without Johnny Marr!

Well I think the only reason he seems to be doing better is the competition he's against, the Smiths are in the top division and against Interference's favourite bands while Morrissey is against "easier" bands

 

[intedomine]

Muse thumping Travis

Don't any of you people have ears?

 

[U2Fan101]

I just got in on this in the latest round, but I thought there were many bands that weren't in this that could have been. Some of these might be personal preferences, but I think they are fairly popular. And I realize only so many teams to fit with the whole soccer thing (I'm a yank, so I THINK that is what you were going for).

Boards of Canada
Dave Matthews Band
Franz Ferdinand
Garbage
Godspeed, You Black Emperor!
Gomez
Guster
Hooverphonic
Incubus
Keane
Mindless Self Indulgence
Modest Mouse
Moloko
Morcheeba
Murder By Death
No Doubt
Oingo Boingo
Outkast
Passengers (separate from u2)
The Prodigy
The Rachel's
Scissor Sisters
Smashing Pumpkins
Snow Patrol
Tool
Underworld

.....just to name a few.

The reason the bands that were selected got into it was because of a nomination round before it; and the bands who got the most nominations got put into the competition, at the end of each season we will be doing more nominations to get eight more bands into it, so you'll then get your chance to add more to it

None of these bands are any good.

Then I must have shitty taste in music.

Then I must have shitty taste in music.

And hockey teams.

I don't like the way the numbers are slowly dropping...


But in good news...The Dresden Dolls got a point

And part of me thinks we need to be merciful and just take Jacques Brel out of the competition now...
