I was counting on you being one of the experts that I could talk music to. The one who would know what I was talking about when I mentioned that a band was using drop D tuning.

@tarheel0910

Just curious, but why did we only do "rock bands"? Why not "music artists of all genres"? And yes, I'm poasting this exact same message in all 4 of the nomination threads.

Anyone else I would nominate anywhere has already been lifted up I believe...except for obscure bands no one else would even consider.

You're still supposed to re-nominate the ones you agree with. It's the number of nominations that determines the field and seeding.

 

[tarheel0910]

Reminder, you have until 11:00 am tomorrow to make your nominations. Please remember that the total number of nominations determines who makes the field and seeding. Even if someone else has already mentioned a band you like, you still need to nominate them as well if you want them included.
