Everyone nominates whoever they want and we dump them into a bracket then have voting threads all season long? Inspired by JJ's thread where some of us struggled to name our favorite songs: Let's do something fun other than asinine political arguments and whining about no football. Nominate a few of your favorite bands or musical artists in this thread, and I can create a tournament in which Huskerboard votes to name the board's favorite band. Everyone can nominate up to 4 artists, and I'll create a bracket after we have plenty of candidates so we can start the voting process. Any genre, any time period, whoever you love! 3 Quote Link to comment

JJ Husker Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 And I thought ten songs was tough...nominate only 4? My initial list had 30+, but here goes. AC/DC Rolling Stones Rush Lynyrd Skynyrd Still a whole bunch of low hanging fruit to nominate. One suggestion, maybe bracket them by style or place of origination or something. Like; English Invasion North American Metal/Hard Rock Hodgepodge/Other 1 Quote Link to comment

Like; English Invasion North American Metal/Hard Rock Hodgepodge/Other Those are good ideas, I hadn't thought about how to arrange the bracket. And yeah, 4 bands is tough but I didn't want to deal with hundreds of bands. If this thread moves slow feel free to add more. Quote Link to comment

Too many don't realize music is extremely subjective and what some may love, others may hate. But, if you don't like good music... 1 Quote Link to comment
