I clicked on the Super Bands discussion thinking it was a discussion about what musical groups would merit a pinball theme. Obviously, I am an idiot. It was just a discussion about rubber. Then I thought, hey maybe that's a cool discussion though. I saw a discussion the other day about "Queen". I think they would make an excellent pin. What bands would make an excellent pin theme? I think they need widespread appeal. Longevity (10 plus years?? 20??). There should also be something about the group that makes the translation to a pin theme makes sense. Neil Young is an amazing artist with an incredible career, and iconic music... But a pin makes no sense. Here are my suggestions...

Rush. No brainer. So many interesting themes to choose from. Lots of conceptual material.

Foo Fighters. I love Metallica, but I think the Foos have more Universal appeal. They also have a sense of humour which would translate well.

Beastie Boys. There are a million discussions to be had about hip hop, and why it should be Tribe, or Eminem, or Snoop etc. I just think the Beastie's have the universal appeal. The music would be fun, and a music biz themed pin would be cool.

Pink Floyd. I'm personally not a big fan, but I think a Wall themed machine would be pretty bad ass.

I suppose with a lot of iconic bands they simply would never grant the license. I'm thinking The Beatles, Led Zepplin, etc.

If you could have any music themed pin... Who would it be? Not just your favourite band, but a group that you think could be a viable pin theme and why.

Roll over Beethoven?? Not a bad idea actually. Zombie versions of the classical masters battling for harmonic supremacy... Maybe not.
