The EWB Band 100 Results

[YI]

Was this carried out solely at EWB? It's just it was said that it's an immalmigation with other boards. Thus technically not making it EWB's Top 100 Bands...........(Is just bitter as this means Strung Out and quite possibly Jamiroquai do not make the list).

[gunnar hendershow]

Iron fucking Maiden.

Damshow is now eternally pleased.

[ROC]

Fallout Boy is on the list?

Fuck you guys...

(jsyk, it's probably in relation to Beatnik's Green Day disdain. I'm getting so sick of the over-over-over-playing of "Sugar, We're Going Down."

Who the fuck are the Pillows? Worth downloading any stuff?

In the top twenty we have two new entries, and one artist that has climbed an incredible 82 places.

Awesome. I love Blur being at 21. That sounds about perfect to me, actually. Not in the top twenty of all time, but definately only just outside. AC/DC is the only other band from that section I can actually tolerate, though.

[Jook]

I love 5 of the 10 posted there... so it was a pretty good section. Plus I'd say they all (bar Matthew Good and the Pillows) deserve a spot in the top 100 at least.

[probablyoliver]

Mars Volta and Pixies make my penis pleased.

Soundgarden are awesome.

Matthew Good and Blur are both pretty cool.

I don't like the Killers, their shit. Same with the Smiths.

Offspring and AC/DC are completley meh.

Pillows? Never heard of them.

[Sir Alan LCSugar]

Blur and The Killers i voted for, so i'm a happy boy. I've not heard of the Pillows either, i completely forgot about The Smiths,should have voted for them.

[probablyoliver]

For anyone who wants to know where Coheed end up:

Coheed climb 82 places from 97 to 15.

I like this grouping, and I agree that most of these would deserve a top 100 of all time spot at least. High Smiths placing makes me happy

[Loonister]

holdon, if so many people have never heard of the pillows, how the hell did they get so many votes? (i've never heard of them either)

[probablyoliver]

The Pillows:

GoGoYubari - 10 Points

Reflecto - 10 Points

Stokerino - 10 Points

Cloudy - 8 Points

Zaz - 9 Points

Another two boards, but hardly anyone voted.

Jamiroquai don't make it. *Thanks the lord*

[apsham]

For the number of Matt Good fans on this board (I know of three; me, SDM and triplexpac) I am pleased at his placing.

[GA!]

Muse better be in the top 20 damn you.

*Shrugs.* Who'd've thought. I didn't even really have to bribe that many people to boot.

In all seriousness, though, I wasn't expecting something THIS massive. Expect a return to semi-obscurity next year.

As for who The Pillows are, pretty much the most wicked awesome band to ever come out of Japan. Whilst most famous for the FLCL soundtrack, they have a discography that spans fifteen years and have cult fanbases all over the world, whilst being probably the most successful indie rock group in J-Rock history. They are a favorite of the EWB Anime Gestapo.

And since Jook apparently doesn't realize that using quotation marks narrows image searches down, here's an image.

Also, Jook; Jamiroquai > Muse a thousand times over. Jamiroquai will so be on my list next year.

[Liam]

Even from the small group of people who voted for them, the fact that they are Japanese is not one bit of a shock

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Beach Boys, Clash, Pixies and Blur are all great.

Jamiroquai are pretty good....A few songs are classic. "Feels just like it should", "Virtual insanity" plus a whole host of other decent stuff...They just sometimes fall down on some "by the numbers album filler" stuff....Their singles releases are always strong.

I've never listened to the Pillows....hmm curious....

Jook did I vote for Polysics? I sincerely hope I remembered to!
