Match-Cut Band/Performer Consensus - list and schedule

[D_Davis]

OK, so start naming bands and/or performers you'd like to see under MC scrutiny.

Personally, I think they should have at least 5 albums, but if others disagree that's totally fine.

I'll put together a list and schedule after about a week of nominations.

LIST and SCHEDULE (On going)

Band	dates	Total Score	Best Album	Worst Album
Radiohead	11/03 - 11/09	7.6	OK Computer	Pablo Honey

The Cure	11/17 - 11/23	8.06	Disintegration	NA (not enough votes)
Brian Eno	11/24 - 11/30	8.07	The Pearl	Another Green World (lol...this is so weird)
Beach Boys	12/01 - 12/07	8.67	Pet Sounds	Surf's Up (LLLOOLL!!!) Only two albums had enough votes to count

Yeah Yeah Yeahs	12/22 - 12/28

Rage Against The Machine only has 4 albums, so lets just concur they're all tens and move on.

[D_Davis]

I'm sure 4 albums is fine.

Just want to make sure there are enough to make it interesting and worthwhile.

[Thirdmango]

I was thinking about the album thing too when I first was thinking of doing this and couldn't quite decide. I'd almost say on a week where we have groups with only four we could do two in the same week. Like do Rage and Yeah Yeahs the same week. But that might also be too much.

Ben Folds (Five)
Talking Heads
Ween

Weird Al Yankovic

[D_Davis]

OK - I think we have enough bands/performers now to get started.

A couple of questions:

1. 1 week per to vote?
2. For bands like Sugar Cubes/Bork; Pixies/Frank Black - do together, or separate?
3. Should we keep the completed tally in this thread, and then each band/performer will have their own thread for voting/discussion?
4. Official releases - LPs and EPs only? How long is an EP? In the '90s, tons of European bands would release a single with 3 B-sides, thus making it an EP. Do these count?

For some special albums, we might exceptions. For instance - The Beach Boys, SMilE. Bootlegged for years, finally released and completed by Parks and Wilson. I'm going to include the 2004 Wilson release in the B-Boys voting, since it started as a B-Boys album.

What about famous bootlegs? No? Again, I'm thinking Beach Boys with albums liked Land Locked.

I think including famous Bootlegs might be a good idea.

As we get to the performers that I don't know as much about (and there are a lot), I'll leave these exceptions and lists up to the super fans.

Or, should we only go by official discography at something like All Music? That could get a little boring.

[Dead & Messed Up]

I've listened to and enjoyed three of their albums, but after three albums, I feel like I get it. Their style gets pretty samey.

[EyesWideOpen]

Out of this first batch the only two bands I'm interested in/listen to are The Cure and Yeah Yeah Yeahs. The Cure I've listened to very little but liked everything I've heard so I'll definitely check out more of them before their week. YYY's are one of my favorite bands so I've listened to all their stuff.

OK, start listening! LOL.

[D_Davis]

So after this first batch is done with, ending w/ Pink Floyd, maybe someone else can take the reigns on the project for a bit. It's going to be a long haul, so we might want to switch off every few months to avoid forum burn out.

[Spinal]

Led Zeppelin
Guns n Roses
T. Rex

[Spinal]

Well, we must have come to the end of Davis' bands. The schedule has been abandoned.

[D_Davis]

Oh shit!

Thanks for the reminder. Totally spaced on it yesterday.

[Thirdmango]

I think what we should do when the new year comes up is see which of us want to be in charge of different weeks and depending on who all is in let's say four people. Then each person rotates in a 4 week period and the person in charge gets to choose the band. Then we can set up say a 12-16 week plan of what's upcoming and then as time goes on see who's still in and out and announce the next 4 week period 3 months early. Something like that.

[Thirdmango]

That way well burn out less and have a bit more different sounding bands representing. Otherwise I've been very much enjoying these weeks despite doing bands I haven't heard anything from (so I have a lot to listen to.)

[D_Davis]

How are you all listening to albums that you don't own? Spotify?
