Isn't the ! after the "you"?

On that subject, I find it interesting that when Panic At The Disco had an exclamation point in the middle of their name, it looked unbelievably stupid, yet in this case it actually works.

80's-Iron Maiden

Yeah, but all of their work was in 00's. Even so, I don't want to change it.

Wow that was hard. If I did this again tomorrow I would probably choose a completely different set of bands. Its completely dependent on my mood (and yeah I did kinda cheat with Porcupine Tree)

eh, I looked through my library and even though there were quite a lot of bands from 00's, there weren't that many that I listened to regularly, so yes, I ended up choosing Star One. Big woop, wanna fight about it?

[ImHotterThanYou]

[ImHotterThanYou]

Not to mention Nirvana released their debut in 1989.

So was Linkin Park's.

[MrFruitLord]

So was Linkin Park's.

They formed in 1996 though. That's a bit farther away than 1999. Besides I've already changed it, and I have a second choice in the 00's if it really bothers you that much.

[BuRn7 CaK3]

No. Either did Linkin Park. But they were formed in the late 90's, as Rush was formed in the late 60's. And that's what you are supposed to go by.


List your favorite band from each decade (go by what decade they started, even if they went on to other decades)

[Alright_Computer]

Started in 1975.



Started in 1996.

Is it really worth obsessing over every little detail in people's lists? Especially if the bands' best-known work happened in a decade other than when they started, as is the case with every band you seem to be nitpicking over. It's even worse if the band has no official recorded material in the decade they started out in.

I'm just following the OP. As the OP even stated "Go by what decade they started, even if they went on to other decades." So don't ****ing blame me.

[Mystlyfe77]

Yes, but the OP didn't go around to every single post and validate what year they started. There's a difference between setting a template and being an annoying ***** about it. Most of the ones you were calling out certainly didn't violate the spirit of the OP, just were technical violations based off of demos and previous incarnations of the bands in question.

I said it to 3 posts. Not to every single one of them.

2 of those bands could very well just slide through. Since they started in the LATE part of the decade (like almost 2 years before the next decade) the other 2 can't really slide that much. Considering there's a 4-5 year part till the next decade.

[DrewLee865]

60s- The Who
70s- Pink Floyd
80s- Sodom
90s- Immortal
00s- Mastodon

Ah.

*sigh*

Nobody wants to argue semantics with you. It's called hyperbole, and it's a rhetorical device used to make a point: in this case, that you're being really annoying.

[adopt-a-hwy]

60's: The Beatles
70's: either Queen or The Who
80's: either The Stone Roses or U2
