EWB's 100 Favourite Bands: 2011 Edition

[YI]

Same plan as last year;

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 notifying me of the edit.

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

9. Just validation that rule 3 is not a legitimate rule, but Alter Bridge are shit

10. If you vote for the Sugababes, you must make a note of which line-up

10 b. It must have Heidi in it

That's just based on every album I've bought / downloaded this year. Everything else comes in singles, so it doesn't really count.

EDIT: Had to take out a few at the bottom to make way for the solo artists (LIGHTS, Cheryl, Kanye and Ne-Yo).

Also, this would have been my number one of every list for the rest of my life if I knew that other people would vote for it: SNSD - Echo. Because look how pretty they are!

Oh, and this too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OSmITtaX3o. Yes, it is a song about how you wish to be as close as the shampoo on one's head.

Also also, I can't believe someone actually +1 my list. Bet you wished the -1 button was back, right?
