Song80s Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 After all, its about being #1 , isn't it ? Like the best rock band in the world, best drummer, best vocalist in the world ? Should there be some kind of contest, where drummers out pound the skins for the #1 title Then younger generations would know who is ' best'. Our world would be so much simpler if there was some kind of final mud wrestling, or similar arm strength match From this, we could 'progress' to ' best pizza maker ' or best hamburger chef in the world. I can see the possibilities. [ sort of most lame post topic of the day ] Quote Why fit in, when you were born to stand out ?

ElmerJFudd Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Not a huge fan of music and art as a competition. But wed probably come up with a great line up for this event - and most of them would say no to doing it. But these shows are great for exposure and showcase of unknown groups.

J. Dan Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 I assume most other cities have the annual readers poll? For us it's the Riverfront times. It's fun to see who manages to get what. Not usually worth anything other than in you advertising you can put something like "voted best cover band of 2018".

Markay Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 The closest "world" competition ATM would be Eurovision, which due to the long relationship established by a local TV network showing it live here, has also included Australia for several years. If we win, and we have come close, then we have to pick euro country to host the following year's competition. That will require some difficult diplomacy given our long association with Britain and France, one of our cities having the second largest Greek population outside Athens, and the current Queen of Denmark being an Aussie.

jeffincltnc Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 How about a contest for "hardest chord to remember", such as C13#5b9 (raise the 5th, lower the 9th), or C E G# Bb Db A, immediately followed by a C13#9, (C E G Bb D# A) then a C13sus4 (C F G Bb D A), in close order. Try them! It makes a nice progression.
