I once heard a DJ come on the radio explain that when he said, "That was 'Garbage - Stupid Girl'", that he was referring to the group Garbage and the song "Stupid Girl". Apparently an irate listener had called in and accused the DJ of saying the song was garbage and was done by a stupid girl.

Thats what I'll be doing too. Now I have three threads with which to do that!

I wanna vote!

Who cares if music is subjective, so are hot chicks and we voted on that. Everyone will still be proud of their teams, but at least the top 3 can say they have some bragging rights.

I'll be happy to compile the votes if need be.

Vote! Durka durka jihad!

I'm fine either way.

I would just like any voting to be internal. I don't want to be judged by people who have no idea who 60% of our draftees are.

I had sort of assumed that there would be some form of vote.

Me or Berger will win though. We have AWESOME taste in music.

I'm ok with votes, like you said above music is subjective and it really wouldn't bother me a bit if I was last by a mile. It would be nice to see what the overall consensus is on each category I suppose.

My super group may suck, but that would be one hell of a guitar solo. I may not have the top Jimi, but my mob of guitarist is damn impressive

Voting works for me. I don't care who does the voting, either. Internal, external, upside down, inside out... as long as the Black Album isn't their favourite Metallica album, then they pass the test!

I can understand why others wouldn't want to have a vote, cause I have a feeling we'd just blow them out of the water with our musical awesomeness...it wouldn't even be close in my opinion

Here's to good music kermit!

I think you would have fun discovering a World band. But if not I think we'll have to just let it be. We have to move on.

Looks like y'all are a competitive bunch so we'll do a quick vote.

If you'd like to be a judge, please PM me.

Erm.. I'm not trying to be a stickler or anything, but actually U2 had to go into the World category, which was decided in a similar conversation as this one re: The Trews. I mean it's all well and good to say let things be but if the rest of us couldn't pick a Canadian band in the World category, why should the last pick get to? We all decided on the rules in the beginning.

Erm.. I'm not trying to be a stickler or anything, but U2 WAS allowed in the UK category, but I decided my own pick shouldn't be there and moved them.

Now I choose in the category of UK.....The Cult!

I don't care if we are judged or not. It was educational for me.

Just for fun though, I'll give you all a score, using this system:

1 point - artist I like
2 points - artist I would have picked myself
3 points - artist in my personal top 10
- 1 point - artist I don't like

The score won't mean a team is better, it just shows who has similar tastes.

Gotcha. Well fair enough. But it still doesn't change the argument re: Canadian band in World category. But whatever, seems like everyone just wants this to be over, so go for it.
