Iron Maiden - yawn

[zepphead]

Starting to get down to the 'big hitters' now.

Yes might be vulnerable so my immunise vote is on them.

[Nova Carmina]

I know there aren't any good or obvious choices now, but I thought Metallica would hang on longer.

[Nova Carmina]

in Jethro Tull.

[Texas King]

Immune: Black Sabbath

Eliminate: AC/DC and Genesis

[Rick N. Backer]

The Beatles, hiwater? The Beatles?!

[laughedatbytime]

The Beatles, hiwater? The Beatles?!

They're no van der Graff Generator for sure.

My guess is Yes will stick it out till the final three or five, long past my personal favorite, Queen, and even longer after another personal favorite, Genesis. Folks around here can only take so much camp.

Q.E.D. Which reminds me. How did Amon Duul II not make the original list?

Keep: Pink Floyd

Dump: Iron Maiden

Q.E.D. Which reminds me. How did Amon Duul II not make the original list?

 

Too popular. They would've won too easily, like Rush. We need more obscure choices like Il Balletto Di Bronzo or Anekdoten.

[_hi_water._]

The Beatles, hiwater? The Beatles?!

12 bands left and I am a huge fan of all of them. Gotta choose some

Ah ha! I see I'm speaking with a fellow educated prog snob here! In that case how about some really truly obscure stuff like the 6 minute partly atonal solo synth jam I recorded on GarageBand once, or the continuous ambient sound my computer makes when my Battlefront game crashes? :P

[Nova Carmina]

The live version is better.

You "recorded" it? Pffft. Might as well be Britney Spears then.

My guess is Yes will stick it out till the final three or five, long past my personal favorite, Queen, and even longer after another personal favorite, Genesis. Folks around here can only take so much camp.

Good bands ... i will certainly not be voting either of them out.

in Jethro Tull.

I voted to drop Deep Purple, Maiden and Queen. Good bands, but not quite as iconic, imo.

 

Speaking of iconic, in what round do we add The Who?

if people want me to do another rock band elimination after this one's over, then I can make one with The Who competing. I will also give people the option to add what other bands they want for the elimination, as long as they have not competed in this elimination

I don't know in which world Queen isn't among the most iconic bands of all time, but it's certainly not the one I'm living in.

 

I also voted to oust Deep Purple though. I'm simply not as familiar with their full catalogue and when I listened to In Rock once I didn't really understand why it was so highly regarded.

Do you think Queen makes it into the top ten most iconic bands of all time?

Especially after the massive success of the movie and in full knowledge of the fact that 90% of people my age and younger know and love Bohemian Rhapsody, many regarding it (rightfully) as a masterpiece of music... I'd say yeah. If they weren't there before they're in that top ten now.
