EWB's 100 Favourite Bands: 2010 Edition

[YI]

Slight change this year...as last year didn't have the turnout the year before did, and not really enough 'variation' IMO. So you now list 1-15 as opposed to 1-10. More work for me, unless Be does it again like he did with hte women.

1. You have 15 votes for your 'favourite' band. There will be no nomination stage, your order will go towards the final list.

2. You MUST order your list from 1-15...with 1 being your favourite band, 15 being your 15th favourite.

3. Alter Bridge votes are discarded and the rest of your votes count as negatives towards those bands, as your musical judgement will be questioned.

4. All votes must be made in this thread.

5. SCORING. 1-15 will be awarded 15-1. The current plan is that the total number accumulated by a band will then be multiplied by the number of people who voted for the band.

eg. Radiohead receive 4 votes, placing 1, 3, 15 and 15 on the lists. Therefore they'll have 15+13+1+1=30 points, which will then be multiplied by the 4, giving them 120 points.

6. Any ARTIST, alive, dead or other, is eligible for voting.

7. If you edit your list, please make a new post please make a new post notifying me of the edit.

8. Don't post pictures. It's a bitch for me when tallying.
