Yeah, it's on its way back. The BDRB Competition shall be starting up again soon. You know the drill. Nominate your favorites and then they'll battle it out head to head, with you choosing the winner. But this time through, if people want it, we will have either 64 or 128 entries. Also, help to veto crap that shouldn't be on here. You want examples? Gorillaz come to mind, at least Good Charolotte and Yellowcard also are iffy. Can Pink Floyd repeat as champs? Will a relative unknown upset a seasoned vet? We shall see.

So, what are you waiting for NOMINATE!

Some of you may not know who Valencia and Tokyo Rose are that I listed above, but they are famous enough.

If you need more bands to fill up spots, I'll name slightly less well known ones and you can look them all up to see if you all like them.

Dropout High
Horse Drawn Death Machine
Gatsby Gets the Green Light
Winter's Halo

Okay, the definition of roack seems to have been maliciously skewered so I may as well add some more.

Alice in Chains
Alice Cooper
Animals
Black Sabbath
Bon Jovi
Cheap Trick
The Clash
Crosby, Stils and Nash (And Young)
Flogging Molly
Guns n Roses
Kansas
The Police
Rammstein
Systen of a Down
Three Doors Down
Velvet Revolver
Sex Pistols
The Ramones
Yes

Sum 41

Sum 41 and The Who if they aren't up there.

If you're basing this off mainstream biased, then it's not going to be a fun competition. Yeah, bands that've made it mainstream are good, but 99% of them suck compared to smaller, lesser known bands out there. You can't really compare mainstream bands to each other, they're all similar, and aren't really.

He's right, because they know bands like what are already out will sell, and its a safer bet than getting lesser, non mainstream sounding bands.

Papa Roach

Tenacious D
Mondo Generator
Eagles of Death Metal
The Dwarves
Sigur Ros
The Clash
Kyuss

Add them! *shakes fist*

Lost Prophets
