RATE - Best American Rock Bands since 1990 - RESULT !!

[Shireblogger]

Robbie's thread which shares 1990's weekly sales has got me wondering. What are the best American rock bands to emerge since 1990 ?

To find out, I've decided to organise a RATE.


Here's how it will work:-

- In this thread, please nominate one, two or three contenders. Each act only needs one nomination to proceed to the rate.
- After a week or so, I'll put up the rate, where you'll score each act out of ten. You can use whatever criteria you like to rate them, but you should base it on which acts you like most, not some rating determined by the general public (e.g. chart positions or sales), or by so-called experts (e.g. awards or GOAT lists).
- Once a decent number of people have rated all the acts, then I'll add up the marks, and crown a winner.


Three rules:-
- Bands only.
- Must be American (or majority American).
- Must have made their UK chart debut after 1/1/90.

Terrific. Thank you all for your nominations.

We now have 33 American rock bands from the past 33 years. It is time to work out which is Haven's favourite.

Please give to each of them (as listed in the first post), a score from 0-10 based on how much you like them. Feel free to use whatever criteria you choose. You do not need to explain or justify your scores.

After a few weeks, I'll add up the scores, and see who comes out on top.

greendemon, Smurfie, Razzle Dazzle, TheThorne, raliverpool, Panda, -Big Dan-, Roo., Earl Purple, darkstar79 + anyone else who's interested.
