- ** MAIL your responses, DO NOT POST them to the newsgroups
- as I do not read all of the newsgroups.
-
- I am conducting a survey to find the greatest lineups for
- bands playing in various styles (Eg the greatest lineup
- for a blues band, the greatest lineup for a metal band).
- Members can be dead OR alive.
-
- I am posting this to most music style related news-group.
- I am excluding certain newsgroups such as alt.fan.rush
- (or whatever) because it concentrates on one particular
- band. I am excluding other musical styles such as rap
- because instruments are rarely used and classical because
- there are too many intruments.
-
- Here are the musical styles and newsgroups I'm posting to.
-
- Alternative: alt.music.alternative
- Blues: rec.music.bluenote
- Country\country&western: rec.music.country.western
- Folk: rec.music.folk
- Funk: rec.music.funky
- Hardcore: alt.skinheads & alt.music.hardcore
- Hard rock: alt.rock-n-roll.hard
- Heavy metal\metal: alt.rock-n-roll.metal
- Industrial: rec.music.industrial & alt.industrial
- Jazz: rec.music.bluenote
- Progressive: alt.music.progressive
- Rock'n'roll: alt.rock-n-roll
- Thrash: alt.thrash

- ** PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY **
-
- When posting please tell me what type of band this lineup
- is for. Please also choose appropriate musicians for the
- musical style (John Lennon was a genius but don't put him
- in a hardcore band).
-
- All band lineups must have a maximum of six members. The
- lineup MUST have a core of a vocalist, lead guitarist,
- bass player and drummer. If one of the members of the
- lineup is multi-talented (Eg Sting, bass player and
- vocalist) that member will only count as one member. But
- the band should be able to play live so somebody able to
- play guitar and drums is useless. A vocalist that can play
- harmonica and rythm (Eg Neil Young) is not useless as they
- can coordinate their playing. You get the picture. Some
- bands would probably be better served by having more
- members but I don't care, I want to keep it reasonably
- simple. Any extra members will not be included.
-
- MAIL your responses DO NOT POST to the newsgroups as I do
- not read all of them. I will be running the survey for no
- longer than a month. I will post the result soon after I
- close the survey but may also post updates.
