It's time to step your music game up. 5 bands, 5 eras - less dew eetttt.[/color:b94050fde1][/size:b94050fde1] [url]http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i62/joeyzofo88/Rock_n_Roll_Forever_by_wackycracka.jpg[/url] [size=20:b94050fde1][i:b94050fde1]Goal:[/i:b94050fde1][/size:b94050fde1] Establish a list of the best Rock n Roll bands, ever. [size=20:b94050fde1]Rules:[/size:b94050fde1] - 5 groups per time period - Everyone lists who they feel ruled that era. You base it off what YOU feel makes them worthy. - We'll spend a week (hopefully) on each era. This will change depending on how much discussion we get out of it. - You don't have to make an explanation for each band, but it'd be great if you could. - Once we have finished an era, I'll tally the votes and post the top 5 winners. - If you absolutely feel that a band you mentioned that didn't make the list should be there, prove why it should. Lists won't be finalized until were done with this decade - Feel free to ask questions -Bands CAN be repeated in 2 eras (Beatles can get a vote for 60's and 70's) - You CAN go back and edit your post/change a vote if you change your mind. Just needs to be done before I tally the votes - Keep it organized and interesting.
