Quoted from pmWolf:News flash: Pinsiders do not acknowledge that any music was produced after the year 1982.
They are mostly old men.
Wait until you see all the Beatles votes, and the have been gone since what, the 60s?
Noooo do I have to pick one
Can I just choose these
Black sabbath
Zz top
Areosmith
Led zeppelin
Van halen
Journey
Bobby brown
Cameo
Iron maiden
Pink floyd
Would be a toss up between RUSH and Maiden. As much as I love Pink Floyd, I don't think their music lends itself to a pin very well. Now a "The Wall' themed pin would be kind of cool.
I think the Beatles could work as well.
I suggest ” Monsters of Rock.” We could have our creatures, zombies, sexy ladies and classic rock hits from multiple great bands.
I talked to Jack at MPE and he reported it would be tough with all the licensing fees. The fees don't seem to stop from keeping those companies from producing the rock compilations sold in sets. Maybe not as hard as thought?
We could have modes and multiballs set up for individual bands. Here comes the VH multiball and the cradle will rock!
Not pumped by any of the choices.
Bands like Rush have some great stuff hands down, and then 10 albums of garbage.
I think out of those I'd rather do a throwback style game with Zep or like spftxted said narrow the theme for Sgt. pepper.

Yes, "The wall" could work. Lots of great artwork out there already to work with.
Voted for Iron Maiden but would have liked to have seen Kraftwerk on the list. Aphex Twin could make for a good one too....
Quoted from dmesserly:Wagner - Der Ring des Nibelungen
Totally down with that. My personal favorite classical composer. Twilight of the gods is an awesome disk set.
Quoted from herbertbsharp:Aphex Twin could make for a good one too....
Good lord that would be frikkin crazy. Sign me up for that just to see what the hell they come up with. Better have the speaker upgrade straight from the factory.

Huge props for Aphex Twin! That could be a very, very twisted machine.
+ Squarepusher
+ BT
+ Slayer
Yes, I know none of these will happen.
Always thought the run at 0:48 from Rush's Circumstances would make a cool end-of-ball bonus countdown:

I'm only 35, but I love the Beatles. I guess some of us youngsters have good taste

Great call on THE WALL. Dark Side would be pretty sweet with LED's shining through the prism though...
As for Slayer, I was actually more into them then Metallica back in the day, especially once my sister got into Metallica . Anyway, I think it would fall under the same for me as Metallica today, I’m just not feeling them like I did when I was a kid so (yah I was always pissed off), I doubt I’d purchase a pin based on their music. They were not added to the poll because they only had a single mention in my previous thread that this poll was created from.
I'd take a Black Sabbath pin over an Ozzy Pin. Pantera is my "reasonable" dream pin but Buckethead or Frank Zappa win out if i can be unreasonable.
Quoted from PinballMikeD:I'm only 35, but I love the Beatles. I guess some of us youngsters have good taste
Only 35??
My friend, you are middle aged, LOL.
I'm surprised by all the Beatle love. I dig their music as well and the art could be some crazy shit, not sure I'd buy a pin based off of them. It would have to be only from Magical Mystery Tour forward for me. The early stuff is just to bubblegumy.
This is what my GF and all her dormmates are listening to nowadays.
Great pinball ready artwork by Adam Relf

To sum up....
"The Wall" is an album, not a song, by Pink Floyd.
"The Wall" you're posting here, is the movie "The Wall," Based on the album by Pink Floyd, which is one of the bet movies ever made.
Everyone in the band hates the movie "The Wall."
Everyone in the band hates Roger Waters and a Pin will never be made.
Quoted from TheLaw:Everyone in the band hates Roger Waters and a Pin will never be made.
To the real fans, Roger Waters IS the band - Bwahhahahahahah
Quoted from vid1900:To the real fans, Roger Waters IS the band
I don't want to open that can of worms, but I agree with you. Many people stand by Gilmore though.

Been aged since I listed to pink floyd so my memory is kinda bad
If Stern wants a to make a music pin that would have strong overseas sales they should consider a Queen machine. Queen are extremely popular in Europe, Japan, and South America.

You're only as old as you feel
As far as music is concerned, I’m pretty sure more people around the world listen to the Beatles than “insert Metal Band here.” Perhaps more pinheads are head bangers than Beatle fans, but the Beatles have sold more albums (246.1 million in certifiable sales) than any other band period. They released 23 studio albums in a 7 year period (24 if you count the White album as two records). They generated 20 #1 hits in the US over a 6 year period, more than any other band or solo artist to date.
The Beatles are pretty much number one, or damn near close, in almost every notable top 100 billboard category, see for yourself (under Artist Achievements section):

Quoted from starfighter:Megadeth
Too new for the pinball crowd.
Every band on the list is from the 60's or 70s.
