Right, I'm throwing my hat into the ring to run another battle, hopefully i'll actually finish this one (or I can claim its been tragically cut short before it can complete its legacy, much like many of the nominee's!)
Its been 3 years since the first one, so about time we put the Axl Rose v Thom Yorke tossfest to bed.
The rules are as follows:
A frontman is anyone who can percievably lead the band, doesn't have to be the singer, or indeed a man. Noel Gallagher would be considered an Oasis frontman for example, as would Ritchie Blackmore for Rainbow. Bear in mind were looking at their record with the band, so if the persons more famous for solo work, then thats irrelevant.
5 Nominations per person
5 Seconds
(in the style of High Fidelity, i think a top 5 is appropriate)
Numbers to be decided, i'm happy with however many we've got at the end of the week (will look to start it on or after Easter Monday, or when the CW forumer WC starts, whichever is the later). Format depends on the amount of entrants.
Battles will be on a 24 hour basis (until I forget), no mercy rule.
Nominations to be given in the following format (makes it easier for me to pick them out and sort)
Name - Bands... know half of you will put the band first, and that makes it difficult to copy/paste into a spreadsheet.... So if i miss an artist, and you've put it in the wrong format, then don't blame me
