theweaselkingFinal results on the "Most Overlooked Band" competition.
Adding in THG's results and correcting for ones where nobody's heard of the famous guy, either, we have this as our final tally:
Bob Marley: 4
Jimi Hendrix: 3 (for shame!)
Bruce Springsteen: 3
Joan Jett: 4
Billy Idol: 7
George Thorogood: 4
Tom Petty: 1
Janis Joplin: 6
Gloria Estefan: 3
Buddy Holly: 6
Iggy Pop: 5
Danny Elfman: 4
Ted Nugent: 6
Siouxsie Sioux: 0
Frank Zappa: 5
Neil Young: 3
So.
I think we can call Billy Idol and Generation X our winner for this contest, and it's a bloody disgrace that some of you heathens didn't get Hendrix but knew Tom Petty and Siouxsie and the Banshees.
That being said, you all need to hear Bobnoxious's "Big Cannons". It is now on the required listening list for anyone who likes hard rock. There's a short sample on the site, and a full copy included on the CD with BW&BK #83. The rest of the CD is no great shakes, not even by BW&BK standards (they're *fans* of atonal scream-and-beat stuff, but I still usually pull 4-5 tracks I like from bands I've never heard of off each sampler. This one gets two.)
