Hi there pop-pickers, it’s time to begin the countdown to the ultimate fantasy group.
Hopefully you’ve all been paying close attention to Guitar Heroes, I’m in a Rock ‘n’ Roll Band, etc. on the BBCs and the scintillating, well-informed, music-related threads here in The Depths (posts mentioning the Eurovision Pong Content, Crystal Swing and Neil Diamond excepted).
Before the Beeb announces the results of their poll tomorrow night, I’d like to get the ball rolling by looking for the AAM pollsters nominations in the following categories:
The Best Real Bands
1
2
3
There can be a bit of difficulty with this as some wrinklies have had various line-ups over the years e.g. The Strolling Drones have had a number of guitarists (Brian Jones, Mick Taylor, Ronnie Wood), similarly Fleetly Macwood (Peter Green, Jeremy Spencer, “Little” Danny Kirwan, Lindsey Buckingham, etc).
The Best Drummers
1
2
3
The Best Percussionists (aka drummers who like to play standing up)

The Best Bass-players

The Best Guitarists

The Best Singers / Vocalists (great if they have another string to their bow - harmonica, fiddle, Seasick Steve Special. etc.)

And finally from the lists of individuals above :
The Ultimate Fantasy Rock ‘n’ Roll Band
*Lack of Prizes are the fault of the organisers, T&Cs Apply, Over 70s only, No Muppets were harmed in the making of this presentation.
