Before the discussion list explodes with everybody throwing in their two cents... What about using google docs or something to set up an actual nomination form? That way we could easily count up entries/noms and maybe set up a few categories
I would be willing to host it on my website.
Dang, kopper beat me...
I vote for the Oblivians, and everyone connected to them. And Jay Reatard.
And Billy Childish gets the "Lifetime Achievement Award".

Yes, the Mummies, of course, but wouldn't you also want some "forefathers" in there as well? For example: Link Wray, Dick Dale, Bo Diddley, Wanda Jackson, Hasil Adkins, just to name a few. Maybe start there, then move into the garage rock explosion of the mid-'60's, and on from there...Or were you just considering the garage underground of the '90's through today? Lots of good choices there as well! You'd have to include the Cramps and the Fleshtones as torch bearers, as well as others that formed in the '70's...The Stooges should also be in there, but hell, there's so many we could list! As far as the city it should be based in? Hmmm...
The Cramps!!!
Billy Childish!
Oblivians!
And, naturally, the Sonics!
