Battle of teh Bands Campaigning

<< < (7/13) > >>

jcknbl:
Looks like the 4 top seeds are pretty clear

Arcade Fire- 12
Radiohead- 12
Daft Punk-11
Pixies- 10

The Rest of the 16 seeded teams, as of now:

Architecture in Helsinki- 9
The Smiths- 9
The Beatles- 9
Bob Dylan- 9
Godspeed You! Black Emperor- 9
Joy Division- 9
Broken Social Scene- 9
Jimi Hendrix- 8
Modest Mouse- 8
Neutral Milk Hotel- 8
The Velvet Underground- 8
Wilco-8

Practically guaranteed a spot in the top 32:
Black Sabbath- 7
Sonic Youth- 7
The Decemberists- 7
The Doors- 7
The Flaming Lips- 7
Fugazi- 7
Led Zeppelin- 7

Its really unlikely than any band with 7 votes won't make it through to the next round. But as of now thats only 23 teams.  There are 16 teams competing for those last 9 spots.


The Avalanches- 6
Belle & Sebastian- 6
David Bowie- 6
Dead Kennedys- 6
Explosions in the SKy- 6
Johnny Cash- 6
Kraftwerk- 6
Kyuss- 6
Mogwai- 6
Nirvana- 6
REM- 6
The Stars- 6
Sufjan Stevens- 6
The Talking Heads- 6
Wolf Parade- 6
Frank Zappa Solo- 6

I highly recomend that people vote for Kraftwerk, Bowie and the Talking Heads very quickly. Also, Johnny Cash totally deserves a spot.

And two bands in the 5 vote range that shouldn't be:
My Bloody Valentine- 5
Pavement- 5

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I mean really. That Wolf Parade album was better than Loveless??? Seriously? Have the Stars had the kind of influence Pavement did?


Also, whats the plan to deal with a tie? How will the seeding be done beyond votes?

Willem:
call me a walking cliche but nirvana  really should get more votes. yeah ofcourse all those 15 year olds love em, and yeah ofcourse you've heard all those songs very often. point is, they really were a great band.
also; i believe everybody is looking over both the stooges and the rolling stones here..

So only me, you and Jcknbl voted for Coltrane? What the hell? And to think I wanted to add John Zorn and Ornette Coleman.

Random, baby, random.  Ties for seeded places or the bottom of the top 32 will be resolved by picking at random.  Ties in battles will result in both bands proceeding to the next round, for a 3 or 4 way competition (if both preceding rounds ended in ties).  

More discussion in this thread.

E. Spaceman:
I voted for Kyuss, I can't believe I had missed them, and Coltrane.


Vote for Thelonious Monk!!!!!!!! and ABBA.
