Well, it's been pretty quiet in here of late so in the interests of drumming up activity I thought it might be worth trying out a rate of some kind.

 

Individual bands may not garner that much interest but what about the greatest tracks of all time?

 

The premise is simple - each poster may nominate up to 40 tracks in no particular order. These will then be whittled down to what will most likely be a top 50 (depending on number of responses/my whims) which will be rated as per the usual marks out of ten with a countdown to follow.

 

Criteria is fairly loose. Obviously bands like Nirvana, Led Zeppelin etc but there may be room for some of the rockier Indie bands - I could allow for example the Manics, U2 or Arctic Monkeys later material but The Smiths and The Killers are more Indie than Rock despite the bands having a guitar oriented set up. Basically use a bit of common sense when nominating.

 

I'll leave it open a while to allow for nominations and will post a deadline when sufficient numbers are in to make this workable.

 

So have a think and get nominating. Post all nominations in this thread. Once a track is nominated it goes in the list so only one nomination is necessary per song.

 

Feel free to use this thread for any discussions on the matter

Imposed on myself a max of 3 per band, I've tried to keep them rock/punk/emo/metal and avoid all the alt rock trappings as per first post but if you don't want any of these let me know and I'll find replacements.

Oh I'll definitely take part in this. I'm not a fan of most 'mainstream' Rock/Metal groups these days because they're mostly awful, but I loved those genres when I was younger so my list will probably consist of late 90s to early 00s if that's OK.

Some of these lie very close to indie-rock but I've chosen bands that are either quite heavy/experimental/math - if Battles could count as rock then all of these should do too. I decided against anything by Foals.
