[Crazyfool01]

who is our top killer ? has anyone killed off more than 1 ? 

[Losing my hair]

The Cure - 59 (-10)

REM - 69

David Bowie - 69

Apologies for ruining the Carry On fun but I couldn't resist the temptation to put the Cure into 3rd.

I think I've killed two but not 100% sure.

EDIT: Just checked, I killed Travis and Elvis Costello it seems

It's a poor do for modern music.  Three acts: one of which hasn't released an album for 13 years, one split up 10 years ago and the other is dead. 

 

And the only chance for a band who could release new music hasn't made a good record for nearly 30 years!

As much as I like Ronnie Vanucci it has to be Brandon.

Not really.  Although it does depend to a point on how people have voted, it's about the greatest headliners over a 50 year period. Given what was being released and when I'd say the Cure are the biggest anomaly in there.  REM were still going strong in 99 and (just about) 2003, and Bowie released an incredible album very late in the day.

Don't think the list is any the poorer for not having a "new" band up there

Pretty sure I've taken out three as we've gone along

I think it was Oasis, Kasabian and Bruce Springsteen

I'm quite pleased with my kills... I remember the Swift takedown but had forgotten about Kanye. Shame more people don't forget about Kanye really.

Nice work ... I’m guessing at this point in your day you have some free time ... actually just thinking ... you are doing this at 0437 am aren’t you ? Dedication to the cause 🙂

I’ll leap on any excuse to procrastinate my priorities. I’m actually 9 hours ahead of you right now.

I may have only made one kill but man it felt good.

[Quark]

Proud of my zero kills.

I'm normally a pacifist but it was The White Stripes and so it was a mercy killing.

I’d be in front if I had had the heart to kill off Pulp when I had the chance.
