    Welcome to Boardsie's decide the greatest music act OF ALL TIME SINCE THE BIG BANG/THE UNIVERSE WAS CREATED BY JESUS!!! Exciting huh?

    Yes, yet another music competition. It never ends!

    Music acts of every genre & every era in history; every artist; male or female or other, is eligible for entry.

    I'm going to grant the 8 semi-finalists from the eighties and nineties competitions a bye into the first round. Those semi-finalists were the following:

    The Cure
    Prince
    Dire Straits
    Queen
    Nirvana
    REM
    Blur
    Greenday

    I hereby nominate twelve more no-brainer acts to get things off the ground.
    Those twelve acts are the following:

    Mozart
    Elvis
    The Doors
    The Beach Boys
    The Beatles
    The Rolling Stones
    Bob Dylan
    Led Zeppelin
    Abba
    Fleetwood Mac (To save LeVar the bother!)
    Michael Jackson
    Metallica
    Eminem


    Twenty acts as a base. What I need from forum gamers is another 108 acts, so send me a PM with SIX music acts that you think deserve to be in the reckoning and when I have around 128, I'll close sign-ups and the tournament will commence shortly thereafter.

    Who will be crowned the greatest OF ALL TIME? Stay tuned and find out!

    I am going to post pictures of artists who have been nominated and artists who have not been, to make it easier and speed up the process.

    Plenty of variation and some unusual choices. In theory, I only need four more posters to submit their lists. Still no one has picked Van Morrison, Thin Lizzy or The Cranberries, you unpatriotic bunch!

    I really hope that someone submits Cranberries. It proved very difficult to fit everyone in the nominations.

    Joy Division have been nominated now. The other 'OUTS' above have not been included yet, so if you're a fan, get on it! No one has picked Blondie surprisingly.

    Stay tuned; if the quota is not filled soon, I will give everyone another two nominations.

    I think we're at 116 nominees. Everyone who already sent nominations can now send 2 more music acts!

    First to the party, get's in; if there's any stragglers, we'll see what can be arranged.

    I'm not accepting any joke nominations, so don't be sending me Dustin The Turkey or Westlife (ok Necro, you can send me Westlife).
