Another Top 100

[caudio51]

They use some analytical tools....

Among the categories considered were: U.S. Sales (100 points), Songs/Songwriting (100), Technical Ability (100), Live Performance (50), Consistency vs. Longevity (50) and Random (50). Random is a category that allows a judge to vote on how likely he or she is to want to hear a band's songs on their iPod playlist.

Go to the site to see the actual breakdown. I just put the band's total score.

I can dig it brother. Lots of my favs there and less that are not.

Without looking at the link, something tells me this list came from overseas like England.

From what I can tell from the site it is done in the US

 

[Headbanger]

Looks that way from the US. Seems a lot of strange bands and many from London and a LOT I never heard of like these. 96. The Orb 239, 82. Thievery Corporation , 80. Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes 287, 81. Underworld 286
