I think a lot of those bands were just posted all the time. There is only like 25 band/artists there, and we get it you like Led Zeppelin, you don't have to post Stairway To Heaven because everyone has heard it before. It's just posted a ton and it would get repetitive seeing "Hurt" by NIN all the time. I think that it was a good idea to ban some artists.

I agree those bands were probably posted to excess, but the easy, most obvious solution for a community-moderated site is to let the community moderate, not selectively ban content that is otherwise on-topic for the sub.

Reddit isn't truly community moderated, though. They have algorithms to change the number of upvotes/downvotes a post has. Voat should be able to handle this much better given their straightforward and honest voting system.

I feel like it has been set up due to legal requests from those artists labels. which are either mostly Sony Music Entertainment or BMG Rights Management and *Universal * / *Warner bros * to keep their content under their control through "mods"

The only band that deserves to be on that list is the Beatles.

Because they're a lame "boy band" from the '60s.
