SGF Best Musical Performance Competition [Main Thread]

[Jaboldinho]

Let's get it started.

I've divided the nominees to 8 groups randomly, and the real competition can finally begin.

-Only members with over 100 are allowed to vote.
-Vote for 2 nominees in each group

I'm no good talker so I'll just get on with it.

Group A
Bloc Party
Rammstein
Silverchair
Tool

Group B
Gorillaz
Lifehouse
Nine Inch Nails
Portishead

Group C
Deftones
Iron Maiden
Pain of Salvation
Red Hot Chili Peppers

Group D
Beatsteaks
Pink Floyd
Placebo
Steve Vai

Group E
Deep Purple
Led Zeppelin
Linkin Park
Queens of the Stone Age

Group F
Dire Straits
Muse
Radiohead
The Killers

Group G
Gogol Bordello
Eagles
Jimi Hendrix
Oasis

Group H
Manu Chao
Sonic Youth
The Prodigy
U2

The groups are in my oppinion pretty tight compared to each other, except for Groups E and F... They're gonna be hard motherf*ckers.

Nominees written in bold have gone trough from group stage.

Group F is a bit gash. DS are going to get powned.

 

[Johnny_Big]

Oh really **** off. Once again my nomination gets the group of death. Look at group F guys...

Screw this competitions, I'm going to start to nomitate Christina Aguilera.

 

[Fernandez]

We can post youtubes of their performances right?

 

[Jaboldinho]

Sure. Just post them directly to their group thread or this thread.

 

[Mandieta6]

I've only heard of 14 of the contestants Lots of bad taste here.

 

[Jaboldinho]

Yea, no Metallica, SoaD or many other greats, but whatever, people were too lazy to nominate, I would have loved to have atleast 64 nominees, but people were lazy, and it didn't seem right for me to add 32 wild cards.

I myself have heard of most of those bands (thanks to Last.fm radios), but haven't listened to their music.

 

[Ubik Valis]

Err...didn't I nominate Metallica a long time ago?

 

[Mandieta6]

The coup commences?

 

[Jaboldinho]

Well, I wasn't sure about if it was a nomination as you said something like "what, no Metallica or Tool?", iirc, so I didn't count them in, but I told for you to nominate him then, but there was no answer. And I can't add them anymore as it's already started and it would produce an odd number.

 

[Jaboldinho]

[Bonzi]

How come there is no Queen?

 

[Ubik Valis]

Because no one nominated them?

 

[Jaboldinho]

Pretty much.

There should've been atleast 64 nominees IMO, but there was no people nominating bands, and I just managed to get 32 nominees, by giving every1 a chance to nominate two...! I guess people just weren't aware enough that we really have a music forum.

 

[1966+2006]

Maybe next time we should pick a different system. Let's say everyone gets 1 nominee and then some bands that are in there automatically.
I can't think of any conditions which the automatic nominations would have to cover but you get the idea, don't you?

 

[Jaboldinho]

Yea, that could work. I've always thought of a different type of contest, if people are interested. There could be many categories: Rock, Pop, Heavy, Alternative, Hiphop, Female, Male, Album, Song, and so on. Let's just get this done first and then we can see if it would be a smart move.

And the winner for SGF Best Musical Performance is.........






























PINK FLOYD!

Congratulations!

Sadly, the band couldn't be here to claim the prize, so Vanilla Ice will take it on their behalf.
