Now we've crowned Lady GaGa, the top female artist, the time has come to decide her male equivalent, please leave a list of your 30 nominated men in a post and I'll get back with the Top 100, which, shall then decide the victor! All genres are welcome, dead or alive, mega-famous or rarely known, basically the man who does it for you!

RULES

1) Leave a list of 30 nominated men, in order of your preference, from 1 (30 points) to 30 (1 point). If you can't think of 30, post less :-)
2) All male singers/rappers are welcome, whether they be solo, part of a duo, or a performer in a group.
3) The singer (or band if you prefer) will have had a charting single/album in the UK Top 100, Irish Top 100 or American Billboard Chart.
4) Each member can vote once, and only vote for a performer once.
5) No joint positions, and try to give the artist's recording name, although if your voting for Sean "Daddy-Diddy" Combs, this may prove to be difficult.
6) Voting closes at midnight on the 14th August, so plenty of time!
7) Private message votes are acceptable, also please contact me with any questions you may have.

So let's be having them votes then. Who do you want: Eminem, Enrique, Lennon, Sinatra, Presley, Gaye...Bieber. The possibilites are endless and quite frankly scary.


GET VOTING!

Posted by: Severin 1st August 2010, 09:42 PM

This is actually supremely difficult to nominate. I've personally decided to go with solo artists except in the case of supremely important and gifted lead singers as lets face it as solid a lead singer as, for example, Brandon Flowers or Jarvis Cocker are they are nothing next to giants of music like Kurt Cobain or Jimi Hendrix are they?

Posted by: Nick F1 1st August 2010, 09:45 PM

interesting, will vote soon

Posted by: Swagger91 1st August 2010, 09:50 PM

Now this will be interesting, my imidiate guess for a winner would be someone like Ne-Yo or DeRulo but it'll probably be rather unpredictable.

I shall wait a while before posting my nominations. I've compiled a list of all the major male artists on my I-Tunes but frankly im embarassed to post it, so I shall have to take inspiration from some of the other lists

I'm not quite sure how to do that, but if somebody, would like to as long as I know where it is to count votes.

Posted by: Tactical 1st August 2010, 11:14 PM

It would be funny if Bieber won lol.

Posted by: Leonardo2505 1st August 2010, 11:19 PM

DJs are allowed as it's a male musical artist slamdown

Posted by: Shoat 1st August 2010, 11:30 PM

This was actually really difficult. When I think of male acts, I actually tend to think of bands more, and I'm not sure whether there's much value in voting for the lead singers of Feeder or Keane. OH WELL

01. Seal
02. Bryan Adams
03. Nick Bracegirdle (Chicane)
04. Andy Bell (Erasure)
05. Moby

09. William Orbit
10. David Gray - loses points for the annoying bobbing head

11. Freddie Mercury
12. Kele Okereke (Bloc Party)
13. Bono
14. Mick Hucknall
15. Eminem
16. Darren Hayes

Posted by: Leonardo2505 1st August 2010, 11:36 PM

Well, if this one doesn't finish me off, I was planning on doing one for bands :-)

Posted by: Jonjo Flowers 1st August 2010, 11:37 PM

No way (As much as I'd personally approve) Surely it'll be Michael Jackson

Anyway, will take a long think about this and try to come up with a list

Posted by: Leonardo2505 1st August 2010, 11:52 PM

Retiring to bed now, returning tomorrow after work, looking forward to your lists. Currently we have 125 different male artists in the running with votes of 12 or more, the current leader has 99!

I presume you mean Kirk Brandon from Spear Of Destiny?

Yes. BIG fan

I mean my lovely Mr. Flowers of course

Posted by: Josh 2nd August 2010, 12:21 AM

He's a brilliant folk-vocalist!

Posted by: DougJames_ 2nd August 2010, 12:22 AM

...so no other frankmusik fans here? damn it.

Posted by: Josh 2nd August 2010, 12:23 AM

I <3 him, but he's certainly not 'Top 30 Material' lolllllll

Posted by: Leonardo2505 2nd August 2010, 12:25 AM

The option to take off points will come when the list is whittled down to a hundred, plus JLS is a band

Posted by: Josh 2nd August 2010, 12:29 AM

Anywaysss, this looks rather interesting so far. Such a varied set of votes!

Posted by: Swagger91 2nd August 2010, 12:31 AM

He was on my shortlist but he didn't quite make my top 30 I'm afraid. He's great though.

Posted by: VVtrunkmen 2nd August 2010, 01:29 AM

Hope Sam Sparro makes it , fantastic first album .

Posted by: Leonardo2505 2nd August 2010, 01:43 AM

A lot of people seem to be posting groups instead of a singer, male groups will not be counted, due to the frequency of the mistakes, i'm going to start disqualifying nominations.

Posted by: lee wallace 2nd August 2010, 01:55 AM

Maybe i should do like a Buzzjack Group Artist Slamdown

Posted by: Severin 2nd August 2010, 02:02 AM

To be honest I've never listened to any. Probably should. I know GnR did Look At Your Game Girl but that merely put me of listening further not because of the song but because it was them.


Just listening to it now by him. It's OK and he had something there definately.

Posted by: Jonjo Flowers 2nd August 2010, 02:20 AM

He'll more than likely be in my list

LMAO! Girls Aloud, Sugababes & The sats will claim the top 3!

Posted by: Chris_2k10 2nd August 2010, 02:39 AM

I like his music plus he's fit

will do my list soon!

Posted by: gooddelta 2nd August 2010, 07:02 AM

Respect to the man in the ice cream van

Good call on Tom Dice, I'd forgotten he'd gone top 100 here with Me & My Guitar!

Posted by: Leonardo2505 3rd August 2010, 07:33 PM

Just thought that some chart success and notoriety should factor in a list of top 100 artists of all time.

Posted by: Leonardo2505 3rd August 2010, 07:35 PM

I now have two Ian Watkins been nominated, the Steps and Lostprophets dudes! Am using the "H" to differentiate. :-)

Posted by: Ghosty233 3rd August 2010, 07:40 PM

I was pretty lucky with a few of my noms who'd only just scraped into the lower reaches of the UK top 100 with either a single or album. I originally had a top 30 then read that it was UK/US only so had to delete all my Scandi faves

LMAO. He did that in the female on too

Posted by: Aphrodite 3rd August 2010, 08:05 PM

I forgot to add Billy Joel to mine as i saw him mentioned he has released a few songs that i love.

Posted by: Mattias 3rd August 2010, 08:06 PM

I don't get it. Why do you think that? It wasn't like that in the female one. If I'm gonna do this, then I'm gonna have to check whether artists charted somehow on the Internet. Why can't we just nominate those whose music WE ENJOY? It doesn't matter if they have had chart success. That's like saying people are not allowed to give credit to people whose music they like if they have not had success chart wise. Charts aren't everything.

I've been editing my list as I thought this was just nominations, didn't realise you were giving points so they get through to the final list... I thought we were just nominating and then you were seeing who had the most nominations and to get through etc... so I've been changing those who are likely to get other nom's for people I think will struggle...

Posted by: Leonardo2505 3rd August 2010, 09:35 PM

Ok, but can you private message me the orignal post/updated post, so I know what to deduct and add :-)

Posted by: Leonardo2505 3rd August 2010, 09:56 PM

Just to be clear this is to get into the top 100, which will then be submitted in alphabetical order, then you will be able to rank your top 25, from said Top 100 and also be able to give a Bitch Slap* to one of the artists to deduct 3 point from their total. then I will reveal the hundred in a similar style to the Female List, I will be doing research on the top 100 artists in order to provide adequate commentary, although I know most of the top 100 so far quite well. The final vote will probably start straight after the closing on this vote stops on the 15th August 11:59PM, leaving another two weeks for the rest of the votes, I will reveal the countdown v. early September! Thanks for the votes so far very interesting and eclectic mix!

I don't understand this: All genres are welcome, dead or alive, mega-famous or rarely known, basically the man who does it for you! OK, great, but why do they have to have charted then? What is expressed here gives the impression that any man can be nominated, which is how it should be.

Will have to have a loooong think about this Will probs post tommorow or Friday!

Posted by: Swagger91 4th August 2010, 02:59 PM

Stop complaining! There's got to be some rules to this thing otherwise I could nominate the bloke that sings at my local on a saturday night, or the busker outside the train station

Posted by: GrAmii 4th August 2010, 03:10 PM

Yup! I wanna thank Leonardo for doing this because I didn't want to. They're his rules and if you don't agree with them - then that's that I guess.

Sorrreees.

Posted by: Mattias 4th August 2010, 03:18 PM

I'm just expressing my very strong opinion, this is a forum after all! And I have not been known to express opinions much! And why can't you nominate the bloke who sings locally or the busker? Ok, maybe that's going a bit too far, so in that case, in my opinion the only rule should be that the man has released music. This whole thing is for a list to show what male singers the members of this forum like! I'm not gonna not like an artist just because he has never had a Top 100 hit! It just doesn't matter!

Posted by: Leonardo2505 4th August 2010, 04:44 PM

Right, i understand your point of view, but along with colaberating data, I want to give information/picture/commentary on each top 100 artist, if an artist has charted in the top 100 of either albums or singles in the UK, US or Ireland, then there are lots of banks of data available to me, and much more easier to research artists that are less known to me. If i have this rule, then even when I didn't know the artist, I can find online information, which I've already used to check that every artist has been in the charts, which is relatively easy to do with both wikipedia and various chart sites! So far I have only found one act, who couldn't qualify, (nearly two until I remembered Olly Murs, has actually preformed on the X Factor 2009 number one single.). If you have some artists who you are not sure, whether they have charted or not, PM me and I will get back to you.
