RM Top 87 Artists-COMPLETE OFFICIAL LIST ANNOUNCED

[Chris_H_2]

what occurs first: (1) this thing gets wrapped up, or (2) pearl jam releases its next album?

[JuanHamm]

I have faith in Argo's algorithm.

[The Argonaut]

The deadline is in the thread title. The end is imminent

[wease]

Does the guy's name being in the band make a big difference here? If Pearl Jam wasn't called Pearl Jam but Eddie Vedder and the Jammers would we insist on counting Eddie solo stuff with the full band Eddie and the Jammers albums?

This is an interesting question. And now that you've got me thinking about it, I might be able to change my mind and see things your way. I need to see a good argument on both sides.

Do we separate the Tom Petty material from the Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers material?

That was the initial idea, yeah. That's one of the examples that sparked this debate. In the rules for this thread, Argo says they are separate. Ditto Bruce and Bruce + E-Street. There's also some debate has to whether or not Jack White should be an umbrella that covers all his work or if you can/should treat each as its own thing.

That’s a stupid idea. It should be inclusive if that artist writes all the material. Tom Petty pretty much did. At least all the lyrics so he had a hand in every original song he recorded. Same with Springsteen. If White wrote all the material, then his should be too.

If I want to put Mudcrutch on my list do I have to include the bass player's side projects?

Yes. But not the Wilburys

[knee tunes]

There is guaranteed not a person on this board who included tom petty as one of their picks and Tom petty and the heartbreakers as another pick. Same with Neil young and also springsteen.

However, there is a person who voted for both jack white and also the white stripes, because their works could be separated.

I had more to say about this but I'm tired. Sorry!

At the end of this post you were freeeeee! Free Faaaaalin’

I actually think we are remarkably close to agreement on this matter.

Let's make the definitive list the artists that will be consider as a single entity for the purposes of this activity (quote and add more as you see fit):

Bruce Springsteen / Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band
Nick Cave / Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
Tom Petty / Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers
Will Oldham/Bonnie Prince Billy
The Microphones and Mount Eerie
Neil Young / Neil Young & Crazy Horse

OR, we could just have a standing rule that if you want to be considered as the same entity then the band name must include the solo name. Just make that the sole rule and be done with it.

Personally, I'd be opposed to this route. We can navigate a little nuance with grace and understanding, I hope

Ummm, yeah. You know what message board you are posting on, right?

[The Argonaut]

[The Argonaut]

time is running out! We are at 38 lists. I originally wanted to get to 40, so send me those lists you two procrastinators

[Ello Sailor]

T minus how many hours, Argo?

[Norah]

this is getting close

[psychobain]

You should exclude pearl Jam
Its their forum

[The Argonaut]

In the original tourney run by mowbs back in the day, PJ was excluded. It's been a long time and a lot of people feel differently about the band than they did way back when. Is Pearl Jam the heavy favorite to get first place here? Definitely. Will they, though?
Fifteen years ago? No doubt. PRAMG? Let's find out

[verb_to_trust]

They weren't on my list
