Your explanation sounds pretty stock, like if you got it from Wikipedia, perhaps abridged it or got it from another site. You say you "know very well what delta blues is." Yet you fail to mention that Howlin' Wolf is Chicago Blues. I don't know if Frownland was testing you there and you failed. It's possible he believes if someone is born in Mississippi that automatically makes him a Delta Blues artist regardless what style of music he plays.

Now when I didn't know much about those other genres and gave the best answers I could give yet you totally dismissed those bands; didn't even count them. You hold double standards.

A: I heard one Howlin Wolf album and I don't remember much about it.
B: I was talking about the sound, not the musicians. I figured he might have done one delta blues album.
C: Like when? Most of the ones you nominatef on other genres didn't get enough votes from everyone else, so they wouldn't win. I've counted plenty of your votes. I keep a chart of all of the votes, and I've added your votes every time your votes met the criteria. I'm too busy to deal with this now.
D: I'm mentally worn from a couple hectic days, so I'm gonna relax for the night before handling it.

E: you know I don't trust Wikipedia with that sort of thing. But I'd like to know where I was wrong on the description?

Also, I'll recheck Frownland's vote. If I can find a good source claiming he's done a little delta blues (which it only takes one album to qualify), then he stays. If not, sorry Frown. I'll need a different fourth.

This is exactly how I like to see you treat Frownland, like an old schoolmarm with her granny knickers in a twist.

I'd say the same to anyone in Frownland's current small situation. The rule is the enture vote is only eligible if all four bands are considered a part of the genre.

Howlin' Wolf

Delta Blues here. He stays on Frown's vote, if he wasn't "testing me" like Neapussycat said.

And if anyone's claiming Last.fm isn't very trustworthy, then please do find a better source for me because I'm not going to dig around 5,000 websites looking for the most legitimate one.

Trying to stick with a more traditional, narrow interpretation of "Delta Blues," and just listing my picks in alphabetical order:

Bukka White
Charley Patton
Robert Johnson
Son House

Only two votes so far. I won't have my vote in until the end of the week, as usual. But I'm gonna have my hands full today as I'm behind my delta blues schedule and I want to get the Fecal Matter demo out of the way today.
