Dubliners and Third World make the final cut. 

Nice - at least I can face Cat this week.

 

How bout dumping some of the other dross and getting everybodies favorite "old" Italian crews Wicked Dub Division AND as added bonus North East in?

 

 

[Code]

Fuck this, I should have nominated these.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[TheHowieLama]

^^^^^^^^^

[Code]

And Rednex, not one shout?

 

 

 

[Pidge]

I don't know what's more astonishing: that Rednex were Swedish, that Cotton Eye Joe was from 1994, or that someone would put them forward as the best no UK/US band ever...

I can't believe there's a second song.

Haha they had one more, a ballad. 
 

Seems like they had a bit of a comeback 7-8 years ago with some new stuff as well.

 

 

[Code]

Steppenwolf are Canadian are they not?

 

They obviously should be in.

 

 

[Code]

So should Three Days Grace when ee look at some of the other entries. These are actually good and popular.

Just the band name would do rather than youtube link after youtube link so the page doesnt take 10 minutes to load on a phone.

Reading Code's suggestions has confirmed one thing for me. Scandinavians live in darkness for far too long.

Apple wankers. It's also a bit too big to put in my pocket. Do you think I wear cargoes like Turdseye?

[SasaS]

We have also overlooked the bands behind Vamos a la Playa, Lambada, Macarena and Despacito.

Roxette

 

 

These were a duo when you first mentioned them.

Still are.

[Mook]

Roxette were voted in as a joke by AoT as well I think.

[SasaS]

What do you mean, voted in? There was no voting. List was "curated" by Stig, good or bad. He could end their joyride if he wished.

[Mook]

I'll go and smash my terminology up my arse in that case.
