custom55 Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 (edited) For me, these are the bands that would be at the bottom of my ranking ( in no particular order ). Some of these bands I don't like and others I know nothing about.

Nova Carmina Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 I'll get back to you; I'll need to get out some graph paper, a small kitchen scale, and a single plum floating in perfume served in a man's hat. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big question is, where would The Kinks rank on your list? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pjbear05 Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 This old fart is staying out of this one.Half of the bands on the initial list would be eliminated. Partially because I neither heard the band, or heard enough of them to form an honest opinion, orWhat I have heard of the band puts them in one of two lists-"meh", and "no". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IbanezJem Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Removing bands about which I am ambivalent/ignorant/or actively dislike from the 50 reduces it to about 15 :laughing guy:VH, Rush and Sabbath are probably the only bands that I listen to regularly now from that shortlist. I`m sure the others will come back around on the listening cycle. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 I hadn't listened to Zeppelin in ages, but the past week I've been going through their discography, and it's reminded me why I'd place the alone at the top of this list without reservation.

I`m sure the others will come back around on the listening cycle.Great observation, IJ. I started with the OP list and broke those into 4 categories: Like, Meh (OK but not a big fan), NA (ambivalent or ignorant/ haven't heard enough), and NO. End result: Like, 15. Meh, 12. NA, 8. NO, 15. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entre_Perpetuo Posted March 16, 2022 Author Share Posted March 16, 2022 As for bands I thought about but didn’t include, it came down to if I thought they were generally more popular on this forum than any of the other bands listed. I may very well be wrong about Ghost being more popular than The Eagles, The Kinks, or The Ramones, but I do tend to see a lot of interest in Ghost and more of a passing admiration for those others except by certain members. In any case those are some great bands that didn’t make the list, many of which would sit nicely in my rankings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
