Woodenbong, New South Wales Superthread

Elmo needs to die. Now.

So does Spongebob.

 

[Irishteen]

So that's why you're here right now?

Just contributed my band list. I avoided some I know only I would nominate, such as Orphaned Land and Agalloch, but went for a couple of obscurities I hope may have an outside chance, e.g. Pure Reason Revolution and The Shadows. I feel bad about omitting The Cure, but I figure enough others will nominate them that it'll be OK. It was between them and REM for the "band I love others will cover for me" status, and I like REM just a bit more so they stayed in the ten I nominated.

Yeah I felt sorta bad for leaving out the Cure too but only 10 bands and others should hopefully give them a nomination

Hopefully we can get some non-Superthreaders to join in as well

U2 and Pink Floyd are running away with it already, looks like we know who'll be in the Premier

 

[Reggo]

So does Spongebob.

Why Spongebob?

I saw a thing at the dollar store of a badly-drawn Spongebob called SpongeBoob. Possibly from Squidward, inc.

 

[Axver]

I left my port salut cheese in the fridge too long... it had nice little funghi on it..

now I made cubes of dutch cheese with slices of ham around them for after dinner snack

Oh god, after two weeks ago, any mention of bad cheese makes me want to run fast in the other direction.

I can't stand Spongebob.
I get overexposure to it because of my little stepsis and it gets old really fast.

 

[Reggo]

Drunk SpongeBob is hilarious though. Squidward rules. I love Squidward.

well cast your nominations for the Artist League, that thread's not hard to keep up with

 

[Galeongirl]

not Elmo! Elmo is awesome!

Nominating 15 bands would have suited me better, but that really would've been too much. And I bet even then I would've felt bad leaving someone out. Dream Theater may be conspicuous by their absence from my list.

I'll vote for PF in any matchup against U2.

I had a female history teacher my 9th grade year who sounded freakishly like Squidward, by default.

Bitch back to them and tell them it's "do to others as you would have done to yourself" day, so they're only getting what they asked for.

 

[Axver]

As far as Spongebob goes, I've never watched, but it looks stupid, so I've never WANTED to watch anyway.

Well after the first season there'll be several new bands being added to replace those who get relegated from the lowest league; and if the game becomes popular we can expand the league too so there will be a chance to add more bands into the league soon enough.

 

[Galeongirl]

spongebob is mildly hillarious when you're in an inebriated state..

How it looks is how it is.

I like mindless humour, I guess.

Nowai! That's hilarious.

 

[Irishteen]

Wow someone's already putting down the League and it's only been like an hour, this should get fun

 

[Serena Vox]

Nowai! That's hilarious.

Yawai.
I couldn't ever keep a straight face when she talked.

Ah yeah, cool then. I really hope this goes well.

 

[Axver]

Damnit, phanan. I was hoping you'd join in on nominating PRR for the Band League.

 

[bono_212]

Would someone call shenanigans if you nominated for me? It's too hard for me to navigate about interference

U2
Bruce
Peter Gabriel
The Killers
Tom Petty + co
Pink floyd
R.e.m.
The Rolling Stones
The Beatles
Arcade fire



I hate leaving bands out just because I know I'm the only one that likes them

With just one studio album out, despite its awesomeness, it's hard to put them on an all-time list. I didn't include Arcade Fire for the same reason - too new.

 

[phillyfan26]

I'm surprised by the lack of Bowie in that competition so far.

 

[phanan]

Listening to the Boy remaster. Sounds pretty good, although playing on a laptop is probably not the best way to pass judgement. I'll have to crank this up on the home system later.

See, I'm not willing to say that should be a limitation. Some classic bands out there released just one or two albums before they fell apart, and I think The Dark Third is one of the best albums I own.

What's improved? Bass and drums, like JT?

Ah, righto. I am very interested in how much it improves on the original. JT really was not very substantial, and anything other than the deluxe set with the Paris DVD was a bit of a ripoff really.

Added your votes to the thread

Yeah only one vote so far compared to U2 and REM with 8
