TRF's official favorite band! (That isn't Rush) Qualifying round!

[toscanobarga]

Zeppelin

U2

Iron maiden

[EagleMoon]

No one compares to Rush in my mind. They are way above any others in my listening rotation. But that being said, some other bands that I listen regularly to are:

 

Genesis

The Who

Riverside

 

 

 

[Mosher]

My three, if I have to choose:

 

Midnight Oil

Bad Religion

The Clash

 

 

Current honorable mentions to:

Drive By Truckers

Admiral James T.

Jethro Tull

Iron Maiden

[Entre_Perpetuo]

I'll leave this up for one more day. I know there's some folks who haven't contributed yet.

[Wayne]

Just to be different....

 

Led Zep

Genesis

Yes

[cygnify]

1.) Porcupine Tree/SW

2.) Yes

3.) King Crimson

 

(sooooo hard to leave out my other top tier bands: Led Zep, Pink Floyd, Opeth, Tool, King's X)

[goose]

Is there a contingency in case Lita Ford and Tom Waits tie?

Don't know what the op has in mind but it'd be easy enough to do---since this is a qualifying round, both could be put on the poll in the next round (a poll is what I think he mentioned)

That's a relief.

Final List!

 

I have decided completely subjectively that bands with three or more votes are qualified for the poll. Two or fewer will not be making an appearance.
