They are shite. 

They are that shite that I assumed you'd be a fan.

I wouldn't know The Courteeners if I walked past them on the street. Couldn't name you anything by them.

Should list these from the different decades they had the most success as well.

 

Not seen any mentions of bands like Uriah Heep, Deep Purple, Whitesnake etc, they should obviously been in it instead of some of the dross that have been selected.

What the fuck?

 

Are you saying that Travis, Biffy fucking Clyro & Ocean Colour Scene are better than Deep Purple?

 

Someone needs to go & listen to Made In Japan immediately...

[TheHowieLama]

It's a disgwace.

Waiting for the later rounds here.

 

Lets face it  - unless you remember them as The Pink Floyd only one band with The in the name has a chance at the last 8. Those Kinks. Well unless they are The Rolling Stones. The rest of the Thes are ballast. Except The Who. They will be there or thereabouts.

 

Zep

Stones

Queen 

Floyd

Kinks

Who

Sabbath

 

 

Be a miracle if the semi's aren't made up of four from here. But, knockout so the draw could play a part.

Good to see that Happy Monday’s will get through to the second round barring some kind of collective brain fart by the forum

There's probably two there that I'd be voting for ahead of the Mondays myself.

And Cream.

Thinking of a US version of this. 

Really can't think who would win it. My music taste are far more online with US music. Its only really the 60s British invasion stuff that does much for me from the UK. For me the top 3 in the UK is Zeppelin, Stones, Sabbath. 

 

But the US, don't think they have a Beatles type you'd have to leave out but

 

CCR

The Doors

The Crickets

Nirvana

Beach boys

Crosby, stills and Nash

Aerosmith

Allman Brothers

Skynyrd

Jimi Hendrix

Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double trouble

 

And on
