Fantastic drummers in this grupo - one fella playing the turtles

 

 

[SasaS]

Drummers must have one of the strongest unions in Norway.

Ironically, Harry Hole wouldn't be seen that in that audience or listening to this band.

Do a jazz tournament Howie after this one is done.

[Bjornebye]

Right so far these are definite entries (29/32):

 

AC/DC 

Abba

U2

The Cranberries

The Cardigans

Sigur Ros

Thin Lizzy

INXS

Rush

Cowboy Junkies

Kraftwerk

Roxette

A-Ha

Scorpions

Toots & The Maytals

Crowded House

Arcade Fire

My Bloody Valentine

Midnight Oil

The Bee Gees

The Saw Doctors

Opeth

Rammstein

Can

The Hives

Steppenwolf

Laibach

Tame Impala

Europe

 

 

Fight amongst yourselves over the last 3 entries and I'll decide tomorrow evening. If you genuinely feel I've missed someone who HAS to be in then make the case. I think thats a good list and nobody not in that list stands a chance of winning it if we are all honest. I haven't accidentally put a duo up have I? I took Air out as they are one. I was going to add Buena Vista Social Club but as Sasas pointed out, they were more of a project. 

 

Nobody heard Powderfinger or The John Butler Trio???? Listened to them loads when I was over there. I think I had The John Butler Trio on recently as well. Nobody else has mentioned them so I wont put them in. If anyone thinks I've been unfair then I'm sorry but I have to point out that I've put A-Ha in and I think they are shite and Take on Me is absolute ear aids. I fucking hate that song. 

 

Bring on the abuse..... 

 

 

[SasaS]

Should have kept my fucking mouth shut.

[TheHowieLama]

John Butler is the fella with the 12 string right?

[Mook]

I don't like to get into the race thing but that list is very white.

 

Get Africa 70 & Shakti in there for some much needed diversity.

Midnight Oil is shit.

 

The Band is a semi finalist, WTF!!

 

Took Dylan electric almost breaking the Newport festival then released Music from Big Pink - one of the most influential records of the last 50 years, not to mention the greatest rock doc ever - the Last Waltz.
