I don`t have any problem with expanding the eligible genres - though I`m not sure how we`d re-title or re-define what the club is looking at. If we say "any style of world music", that would quickly become "any music at all", wouldn`t it ?
Why don`t we put your latest nomination, Algarnas Tragard, in for now and think about what we might do with the club ? As far as I`m concerned, it`s basically up to the two of us if we want to mix things up a bit. What do you think ?
Well I guess prog is already covered by another club so it might be a little redundant to start crossing over just on the basis of them not singing in English. Still I guess nobody is going to be too upset by blurring the boundaries. I guess if nobody voted for it the question answers itself.
