AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

link is broke

!!!!!!!!!!

link is now good

WOOOOOOfuck

damn, sorry fish - hope that's okay for you now!!

Rigged.

How many artists does this eventually get narrowed down to?

Defame the committee's honour one more time and Grimes will be against Deftones in round 1

Demon at the *moment* we're going with a conventional 128, which means a lot of cuts to last year, but also we want to introduce a lot of new blood to avoid repeating the same sets of showdowns, so big shakeups are good shakeups probably.

there was no at the drive-in or joy division damn

i want deftones vs ariana grande

ATD-I are a staple, come on lads.

Pls make a hall of shame list consisting of users who nominated pop punk artists

taylor swift can go. soz sowing

and yeah, we definitely missed a lot of artists out - ATD-I and Joy Division are both good shouts, any nu-sputcore from the last couple of years is v welcome too

So can corey taylor projects

Sorry angry 12 yos

there was no dry cleaning now what the fuck

pleasantly surprised at some of the other inclusions although they have no chance

"So can corey taylor projects"

there is no slipknot though. I had to suggest it

100 gecs

hold up, I think the list of last year's artists might be slightly inaccurate. updating rn

EDIT: updated and finalised, my bad!

"Pls make a hall of shame list consisting of users who nominated pop punk artists"
plz pull the list of good bands to use from pika's 1s plz

he is legend is no longer there reee

yeah I think someone voted for them in the original ballot but we decided against them in the last minute but our records were flakey, which was why they were on the list i copypasted to that spreadsheet whoops

who did i vote for again. you can take ATDI out and add them

Gonna need the My Pillow guy to certify the results before I believe it.

Dammit I had successfully repressed that PF won 2021

What an embarrassment that was

what does lucozade really taste like, what is the flavour

if Sweet Trip is not in it this time there will be consequences

if you really loved Sweet Trip, you'd want them a million miles away from this

that is not the attitude to have

can't be arsed to click the link, someone nominate good shit like tom waits or john coltrane or mingus or something.

Pls make a hall of shame list consisting of users who nominated pop punk artists [2]
and anyone who suggested eminem

The process is strictly confidential and no personal information will be leaked

...unless you voted for Tool, in which anything's fair game

hopesfall

i also second hopesfall

pink floyd will win again and transcend years to prove the superiority of boomercore

idk I think it's Beatles' turn

if btbam beats a band i care about, i will cancel the site

Ulcerate

pls no tool or opeth

I feel I can offer you a pretty safe guarantee that it wont be Tool

be me: "lets see which artists were in last year"

opeth, converge, brand new, death, thrice...

"goddamit sputnik"

"The process is strictly confidential and no personal information will be leaked

...unless you voted for Autechre, in which anything's fair game"

ftfy

John Coltrane, because I remember zero jazz artists on the ballot last year

Iirc there was virtually zero demand for jazz artists last yr, but by all means put an end to that!

yeet

>previous submissions: opeth, converge, deftones, btbam

gee wow you dont say

just ban all these guys lol

The Killers are purest sputcore now

all received data on the Killers is strictly confidential

but it's there.

They would be a worthy successor to Pink Floyd.

I thought Unwound won the last royale??

recap of last year's final: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M69ogSZ6kHI

johnny rigged it to impress roger waters pass it on

Ulcerate

Voted

I want to vote but I'm a) not sure where to start, or b) if I actually want artists I enjoy involved in this.

b) is very relatable.

yup I am fragile person, b) is why I must take breaks from SOTD

diva / ars / fogza basically have war crimes hanging over them at this point

hope they all vote in this

"Grimes will be against Deftones"

Woof

Carly Rae Jepsen vs. Emperor kek

update: your ballots have been read and (selectively) reflected upon.

round 1 will be up in the near future

be sad and fearful and such

!!!
YES
Pika is!

Ok uh are you ready

Qui tacet consentit

Woke - uh! I m-m-mean_ _ _ _

4. Converge
5=. Btbam / Deafheaven / Lorde / Metallica / Nirvana / Paramore / Pink Floyd / Taylor Swift / The National / Women

having learnt our lessons from Brexit, this being an *advisory* ballot meant that we decided to ignore this shit whenever it was best ignored. sorry not sorry. HOWEVER that there were a *lot* of suggested artists who were interesting or smart or funny and we ran with as many as we could, so thanks everyone who voted! Round 1 Group A should be up soooon

could you put up sample songs for every artist in the matchups so we don't have to search too hard for our own opinions when the lists go up?

Isis seems a logical choice.

Isis was one of the not many acts that were never up for debate whoops should probs have clarified that

@someone my someone, um that is almost a very good idea but it will probably end up as annoying (justified) tangential debate as to whether we chose the right song and this will be a particularly bad look when it comes to the acts most of us are already crossing our fingers get tanked early (guess who!) so maybe not i am sorry we must all be ignorant it is more fun that way

just vote based on:
- how much you like the band name
- what other users vote
- general vibes
- music
in that order

ega i have a question you'll be desperate to answer

This gon be gud

pheromone is reading academic articles about islamophobia rn sorry he cannot answer

Fair. My damn Syrian neighbours are always trying to out-nice me and that's just bad integration.

Wow imagine out-niceing you.

Going live within the hr wow wow

Most voted-against artists:
