thanks for the positive feedback, guys... if there are no more suggestions by midnight, i'll post the final list along with the playoff contenders, to which no further adjustment will be made. Can I make a suggestion that the distinction is changed from "groups" to "pop bands/groups" (as opposed to rock bands/groups) as that's the distinction isn't it? ABBA would certainly fall into a pop band category. Perhaps you could drop Duran Duran from this one as a result and hence create an extra space as they'd definitely make the top 64 pop bands...? Not trying to stir things up again, think you've done a very decent job at trying to please us rowdy Havenites! ;D

this is as close as i can get to a "final" list - can't see who to cut out after this point. it incorporates all suggestions for both additions and removals - removed artists will be found in the playoffs group - and comes to 78. what i think we will do is have a top 80, reducing to 40, 20, 10 and 5. one of the 5 will then be voted out, and then the last 4 will proceed as normal. any objections to this? anyway, these are all but two of the starting artists... acdc adam & the ants aerosmith ash beach boys beatles beautiful south bill haley & the comets blur bon jovi the charlatans the clash coldplay crowded house cult the cure deacon blue def leppard depeche mode dire straits the doors duran duran echo & the bunnymen elo feeder fleetwood mac foo fighters guns n' roses human league idlewild inxs iron maiden the jam james joy division/new order the kinks led zeppelin madness manic street preachers massive attack metallica muse nirvana oasis placebo pink floyd the pixies pogues the police primal scream the prodigy pulp queen radiohead the ramones red hot chili peppers rem rolling stones simple minds the sex pistols the shadows slade the small faces smashing pumpkins the smiths status quo stereophonics the stone roses suede supergrass talking heads travis t-rex u2 ub40 the verve the white stripes the who playoff list to follow...

this the the list of artists awarded a playoff position - 20 in total. what you need to do is pick TWO artists (that's right, just two ) that you think thoroughly deserve to be considered one of the 80 best bands of all time - so try and think of it in broader terms than your own personal taste, if possible b-52s belle and sebastian ben folds five blink-182 bluetones the eagles eels embrace gomez happy mondays inspiral carpets kiss mansun ocean colour scene queens of the stone age super furry animals tom petty & the heartbreakers the wedding present weezer

In greatness and achievement I will go for the Wedding Present and the Eagles.
Inspirals are close, of course. Ocean Colour Scene is a bit of a joke.
