Because we just don't have enough word/music games on this forum, I thought I'd introduce another one.
Five bands/artists will be listed, each starting off with ten points. Each time you participate, you will Kill one band, subtracting two points from its score, and Save another,adding two points to its score. When the number reaches 0, the band goes in the Hall of Shame, when it reached 20, it goes in the Hall of Fame.
Starting off:
Bob Dylan 8 KILL Grateful Dead 10 Clap Your Hands Say Yeah 12 SAVE The Clash 10 Chet Baker 10

Nice idea for a thread!
Couldn't you have thought of cooler bands?
Joke, don't fret.

I love his songs, but I'd rather not listen to him sing them.
Also, If a band goes into the Hall of Fame/Shame, the final voter picks a replacement.

I'm guessing the last three weren't rock or weren't during my time (or during the time period I listen to-70's-80's)
"I'm telling you. People come and go in this Forest, and they say, 'It's only Eeyore, so it doesn't count.' They walk to and fro saying, 'Ha ha!' But do they know anything about A? They don't. It's just three sticks to them. But to the Educated - mark this, little Piglet- to the Educated, not meaning Poohs and Piglets, it's a great and glorious A." --Eeyore, The House at Pooh Corner
quote: How often can we kill or save? Do I have to wait for someone else to post?
As often as you want. You should wait until at least one other person posts though.
