Here's how it works. There are 64 slots, which the whole forum will nominate. You may not nominate more than three bands at a time, you may only nominate once a day (and no abusing midnight), and you may not nominate more than ten bands overall. After that, the tournament begins. The tournament works like this.
1st Round: Four 16-band polls that run concurrently and last for ten days. The top eight bands from each poll advance to the next round.
2nd round: Two 16-band polls that run concurrently and last for ten days. The top four bands from each poll advance to the next round.
Semifinal: One 8-band poll that lasts for nine days. The top three advance to the final.
Final: One 3-band poll that lasts for two weeks. The winner is the band with the most votes.
To get the ball rolling, I'll nominate Iron Maiden and AC/DC.
