Current Events > Best artist or band to start with the letter: G

(+) Yeah! (+)

Past winners:
A - Alice in Chains (runner-up: Aphex Twin)
B - Black Sabbath (runner-ups: The Beatles/Bone Thugs-n-Harmony/Beastie Boys)
C - Creedence Clearwater Revival (runner-up: Chief Keef)
D - David Bowie (runner-up: Dio!)
E - Eminem (runner-up: Electric Light Orchestra) (wooden spoon: Elias Samson)
F - Frank Zappa (runner-ups: Fleetwood Mac/Foo Fighters)

welcome to my new series. name your favorite band or music artist to start with the letter of the day, and let's see who wins. we'll do some sort of competition with all the winners when we're done.

the definite article 'the' will be ignored for the purposes of this topic. i.e the rolling stones are eligible to win r, but not t.

if you want to nominate a specific musician rather than the band they play in (i.e chad kroeger instead of nickelback) i won't stop you, though i'd prefer you'd only do this on the merits of their singles career.

only vote for one artist, please. if you want to leave "honorable mentions" that is fine, but make it clear what your actual vote is.

Dishonorable mention that I know a lot of people are gonna say: Guns N' Roses. They had literally one good album and November Rain is one of my most hated songs of all time.

This is a tough one. I give the slight edge to Girls' Generation over Green Day for various reasons. GnR would fall next probably.
