Battle of the Bands (Discussion Thread)

Jason breaking the game

Look. I’ll spend my veto to move them up somewhere if we’re going to include them. If not, Jason should make another pick.

Include them, use your veto, and I'll pick a band that I think we'll all be happy with at 29 except me.

I did remember seeing Metal being excluded

I thought the same.

[Reign in Blood]

There's 300 other bullets to load that don't have metal written all over them, but Jason goes for it anyways.

[Jason]

Does this mean no Rainbow, no Deep Purple?

[Headhunter]

I don’t think Three Dog Night belongs here but this is at least a defensible pick and I’m ready to move on

They were in my top 5 all time at one point.

Our top ten when we get there sometime in September is going to have Marshall Tucker and Jethro Tull in it

Didn't you get the memo? No metal! Jethro Tull is excluded.

They have the Grammy as proof

On the rock/metal scale, Deep Purple is definitely closer to rock.

Does anybody call those two the Godfathers of Metal? I mean I specifically said if they have a heavy connotation with a sub-genre. And you pick... Sabbath that practically invented it.

Rainbow, Purple and Sabbath are all much closer to each other than a metal band like Metallica. Which is where I thought the distinction was already set.

So no Sabbatical or Metallical. But yes to Purple.

Rainbow then?

Ray Charles is considered the godfather of rock and roll but you won't see him mentioned on this list.

Also. Would be nice if you did me a solid and vetoed Three Dog Night.

29 is the loneliest number

[Headhunter]

We did it!

[Jason]

Reign is up

[Jason]

Hendrix wouldn't make my personal 30 but he has several killer jams.

[Headhunter]

I know how some feel about Jimi here but I’m just glad he made the list. If he made it to my next pick I probably would have played him.

[Tiggnutz]

I had him 24 on my board

You were the only one I thought might help me later if I played him so yeah this worked out okay.
