Boardsies Greatest Music Act of the 90s

Kolido

We have had the greatest songs of the 80s and 90s and the greatest music act of the 80s, it's only fitting I complete the series with the greatest music act of the 90s

Please PM me 10 music acts.

Acts can of course be solo acts or groups.
The act must have released at least one studio album during the 90s in US, UK, and/or Ire
I will run this after we get enough entries and when the other contests on this forum are completed

Bring it on!

Can i enter in poster form?

Rothko

Just sent my list in there now

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Nominations Sent...

Irish Aris

Nominations sent.

i went for 3 obscure selections - artists that wouldn't be very well known but for each of them I would have at least 2 albums in a top-100 albums of the 90's list.

Hope this doesn't turn in a Blur vs Oasis battle. . .

If previous competitions are anything to go by, you'll have a lot of "big name heavyweights" going up against each other in the early rounds resulting in some great artists/songs being eliminated early on while some lesser known/lesser quality artist or song strolls through round after round through sheer apathy (mainly due to the match up its in) and ends up winning the thing.

So, what I'm saying is, never bet the favourite!

Yeah, and Necro said he's going to run it at some point.

greenspurs

Is this going ahead ?

Kolido

Yep, will kick off on Monday, have almost 100 acts nominated, if we get no more I will add my wildcards to make 128.

In fact, if anyone who has already nominated would like to PM me another 5 each, feel free.

Zaph

Must get mine in to you later

We all know Nirvana, Blur, Oasis or Radiohead are going to win so maybe we should just skip to the semi-finals. It's like men's tennis.

Hahaha, it's actually Oasis and Radiohead.

Oasis is one of these bands that I absolutely hate.
Radiohead I liked them a bit when they turned more electronic in the 00s, but I didn't like them in the 90s - and I find Thom Yorke's voice really annoying in their rockier stuff.

You mean when they became less good?

90s Radiohead for me was their absolute peak, I've struggled with a lot of the electronic stuff since, although some of it is very good and is usually amazing live.

Electric Nitwit

You're both wrong and you're both right.
Their 90s stuff is amazing, and their later stuff is amazing

Necro

Radiohead do have a reputation as being a bit depressing, admittedly I wouldn't be hugely into them mind.

I dunno what I even entered into this actually, my taste in music today as opposed to the 90s has hugely changed

Probably entered Boyzone :pac:

Did I enter this, Kol?

Careful now! A certain baldy bonced female singer was popular in the 90s you know. Turnabout is fair play

now, not the greatest 80's act of the 90's but her debut album was really good

hahahaha!!
Was just looking my list of nominations and I haven't nominated her.
I guess her 90's output (with the exception of I Do Not want What I Haven't Got) wasn't particularly exceptional, so I gave her a miss. . .

Thanks. Cheers for that. Can't believe I forgot to nominate her myself.




























Oh wait, no sorry, just realised this isn't The Worst Artist of All-Time Competition, which Mariah Carey would clearly win. :rolleyes:

I failed to nominate spiritualized, even though ladies and gentlemen.... is one of the greatest album of the decade

You can't enter bands like Spiritualized into contests like this. They'll get voted out by cloth eared heathens and you'll get annoyed. Best avoid the disappointment in your fellow humans

I have a very obscure nomination which I fully expect it will only get my vote in the first round. I can't get annoyed, it's only natural that the more popular options would get far, this isn't a competition where people get to learn new bands, things move too fast for that.

Kolido

Starting today and over the next 3 days, I will be revealing one act already nominated and one act not nominated yet!!! each day

Stay tuned for today's reveal

Kolido

Already nominated and looking to creep out their opposition, Radiohead



Not yet nominated and we'll be missing him if he isn't, Sean Combs

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Not nominated because he sucks...

I wouldn't say sucks but best act of the 90s.... Not a hope.

He's no Mariah that's for sure

You know what, I'm gonna say that Mariah Carey is actually a better artist than Sean "Puff Daddy/P Diddy/Whatever The **** He Goes By" Combs.

There I admitted to someone being worse than her.

Remember folks, the nominations quota was increased to 15, use them if you wish, maybe you would like to nominate P Diddy.
