I'm experimenting with this. It might become a thing. It might not. Hence, experimenting.


Post 8 noms from the same band. It has to be a band. Rock, R&B, Rap, Jazz, Big Band, Pop, Techno...any genre is welcome, as long as the performers are a unit, a group, a BAND!


It'll be a showdown between the bands. 8 noms playing like a team. So, pick your bands wisely



Women will be your undoing, Pépé
I will be going with Bad Company and will posting my list this evening

You missed my favorite BC-Movin' On
trust me, there's a good 5 or 6 I could add on as well

great list of Creedence, ya got a lot of favorites in there and it could easily go with several more of theirs as well. Like Hey Tonight, Bad Moon Rising or even Fortunate Son

My favorites are probably Fortunate Son and Grapevine. I tried not to use songs that have been nominated a lot or recently.



same reason I skipped over Bad Company
And I notice you didn't include what I think of as their most popular, Feel Like Making Love. It doesn't matter, they have a lot of great songs.



Women will be your undoing, Pépé
Feel Like Making Love was up there with Bad Company. I almost didn't go with Rock and Roll Fantasy, Run With The Pack and Shooting Star for the same reason, but I freakin love those songs too d@mn much to say no.

I like how you went with songs like Sweet Hitchhiker and Someday Never Comes. That's pretty cool.



You can't make a rainbow without a little rain.
Looking through my mp3 player, I realized that I don't listen to many bands, but I found one that I know and like at least 8 of their songs, so I'll join this with Journey songs.

Journey - Don't Stop Believin'
Journey - Faithfully
Journey - Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)
Journey - Any Way You Want It
Journey - Open Arms
Journey - Wheel in the Sky
Journey - Send Her My Love
Journey - Lights
