I suppose, but should musical importance come into it at all? So many times people have been flamed in this thread for voting against a band and then others come up with "oh but look at their musical importance and influence!" etc. I swear that in most decisions I've read people generally downplay personal interest and instead talk about their musical importance in more general terms.
