You have to give it to Code - while most people are rallying against some of the turd on these lists, he's actually managing to suggest bands that are WORSE than the worst ones on the list.

No, go on ? What shitty little point was it this time?    The whole point of doing it is to provide a bit of fun debate and entertainment to an otherwise depressing GF of late yet snides like y

Can we give Stig a break?   Anyone else can start their own tournament if they don't like this one. He's put a fair amount of effort in & given the GF a shot in the arm the last couple o

Fucking hell. I new from the start I would completely forget a great band which somehow nobody else would mention.

Mazzy Star.

I like Mazzy Star too but there are far better bands than them that won't be getting in this. They don't even have the huge discography/longevity angle that others have.

I don't see Springsteen as a solo artist except on the records that name him as such (Nebraska etc)

The band has always been credited as such. Same with Tom Petty.

Agree with this. I reckon Bruce would be insulted if someone told him he was a solo artist. Clarence, Lofgren, Van Zandt don't rate as a band?

The E Street Band wins this competition at a canter, in my opinion. Greetings from Asbury Park, The Wild the Innocent, Born to Run, Darkness on the Edge of Town, The River, Born in the USA - an amazing run of albums. They're also arguably/probably the best live band in history.

My favourite US bands are E Street, Doors, Beach boys, Credence and JHE (assuming we're not treating them as British). Seen them all live and I have to agree with you about E Street ( although it has to be said that IOW 1970 didn't see  The Doors and Jimi at anywhere near their best )

You probably know a lot of their songs without realising. They are on loads of TV shows, ads and games. Probably too modern for you, having said that they have kinda an old sound

I suppose you are right.  I guess it's more of the American way to name the band after the lead singer rather than an ensemble name.  Bit like the sitcoms.

Was that you with the Angels at Altamont?
