There are at least twenty huge bands, real contenders not even mentioned yet!

No Iron Butterfly ?

Good one..... a little ashamed I didn't do that one..... considering my online name.

Sometimes, we miss the obvious.

'Tis the frailty of being human.

Was gonna say there iblive but figured it was a oversight

It's okay. As bands go, Iron Butterfly was basically a one song and done for me. Whereas the two bands I nominated I have a couple Grand Funk albums and a Rare Earth. I've also seen Rare Earth in concert.

 

[C-Grin]

I’m gonna do it, second for Kiss, huge part of my childhood development.

 

[dmatthews]

Rush

Once we get 16 bands with 3 votes each we can set the ladder up.

Who's IN:
----‐‐-----‐--------------------------------
Led Zeppelin

Just doing some math...
At just one 2nd per two nominations, and two 2nd's required to qualify, we'll need 64 minimum nominations to get 16 locked in.
There is also a potential for a never-ending scenario of nominations without locking in any.

Led Zeppelin x x (locked in)

[67plexi]

I think Jimmi Hendrix and the Doors should be added

Any seconds or thirds on an existing? You get one extra vote if you want to push a previously mentioned band into the mix

Man, Ace was probably the catalyst for more kids picking up a guitar in the '70s than all the other guys combined (if we're being honest).
Plus, the first five albums are all-time, stone-cold Hard Rock classics. And the sixth ain't bad either.

Totally agree

Triumph
Boston

3rd for KISS

 

[TVvoodoo]

KISS second in!

 

[TVvoodoo]

@67plexi we need you to second or third a previous nomination
@dmatthews Rush added, do you have another for us to consider, as well as a second or third of an already listed band?
On @ibmorjamns behalf, I nominate new additions Pablo Cruise and the Bay City Rollers (he can negate these if he can think of better choices).
