EWB's Favourite Artist 2008

[YI]

Seeing as I'm so bored, I am shitting multiple times a day, just to have something to do. I've decided to bring this back a couple of months early this year.

RULES

1. You have 10 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 1-10...with 1 being your favourite band, 10 being your 10th 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. 1-10 will be awarded 10-1. 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, 10 and 10 on the lists. Therefore they'll have 10+8+1+1=20 points, which will then be multiplied by the 4, giving them 80 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.

NEW

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

I hate these kinda things, since I always find it hard to narrow it down to ten. Also, I tend to go with my ten all-time favourites (which naturally changes), rather than more recent stuff that I like.

And yep, Andrew Wood (Mother Love Bone) is that weird looking and Chad Kroeger (Nickelback) is that... ugly, as if you needed to be told.

Just a thing. Pics really aren't neccessary...I mean, it's nominations, it's not like women, they add nothing...and if I were to be perfectly honest, they just make things harder for me when tallying.

Just for comparing - my top 10 last year:

1. The Beatles

3. Ryan Adams

4. The Smiths

5. Ben Folds Five

6. Belle and Sebastian

7. Death Cab For Cutie

8. Coheed and Cambria

9. Sting

10. The Shins

A few changes since last year. Looking back, I'd say my current list reflects both my long-term and short-term favourites better than last year. Coheed and Cambria and the Shins are good bands but I can't imagine how they ever got in my top 10. I may well say the same next year though. We'll see.

[YI]

Also...I'm not sure about this, but I have a hunch, Ross Walker may be my double account. Wait, no, he likes Coheed. Good eye, sniper.

KEEP NOMINATING!!!
