So, I thought of this as a quirky little way to possibly give the entertainment section a little boost.
Basically, this is a bracket style tournament between some of the greatest bands of all time, with the results determined by user votes.

Contents:
1. Rules and Basic Idea
2. The Bands
3. The Bracket

Rules:
-All forum rules apply
-If this gets out of hand, flaming wise, it will get closed. A little bit of passion is welcomed, though
-NEW RULE: To qualify as a band, said entity must consist of two or more members, and play instruments of some sort.


The Idea:
-We will begin after we receive 16 nominations
-Those 16 will then be randomly seeded and placed in a bracket
-Each match-up will last five days, with three days of discussion (or less if discussion dies) and two days of voting.

Don't know if a hiphop duo should count, but as there seems to be no rule against it, I'll add it.

And Nominate the beatles

It would be cool to do like, 8 "old school" bands and then 8 "modern day bands"

An example would be like, The Beatles are obviously Old School, and then you'd have a band like Three Days Grace being one of the 8 Modern Day bands, so it would be like a Old School vs New School kinda thing. Might make it more interesting? Either way I like this idea, I have no nominations at the moment but I'll get back to ya :)
We The Unwanted.
Do That The Unforgettable,
For Those The Ungrateful.


You become whatever she needs you to be,
whether that's a protector, or a lover, or a friend, or a brother.

I like the modern/classic idea, but the problem is determining when the classic era ends, and the modern era begins?

Yeah I was thinking about that to.

Older bands should be obvious no? It's up to you I just thought I'd suggest something to let you know I was alive and stuffs. :P

Okay, if, by the end of the day, Journey remains the only band confirmed, I'm going to take down the seconding rule.
Also, Nominating Styx^^

Updated.
Since a second nomination is no longer required, all bands have been added to the pool, bringing us to 6/16
