I'm more about IV but they're not really different songs.

Also Future Bible Heroes.

And I vote for VU. Meanwhile, I'm curious if we can individually start our own artist threads (I'm asking Troll this). If I had come on in a more timely fashion, I would have pushed the Beatles. I also liked WW's suggestion of Elliot Smith. Also, a Cure fan can start a thread if they lose out on this poll (or VU for that matter).

And why didn't anyone mention the Rolling Stones?

I'd say best to leave it to me. We only want one artist at a time, and the guys will tell you I've been running the Bowie and Metal Classics ones, and they've been going okay. It might get confusing if everyone starts opening their own threads, would be my thought on it.

I agree. If we get any more of these going, it's just going to cause half of them to get ignored.

The main problem I have with the idea, and I'm not suggesting it would happen with one Rubber Soul would open, but I could see people thinking "Oh I'll start a [insert artist here] thread, that'd be cool" and then quickly losing interest and letting the thread die. It's easy to start a thread, but they need to be policed and maintained, so yeah, chaos might result if everyone started their own threads, and most of those might end up not getting much in the way of replies. We've all agreed (mostly) on the Cure followed by VU, so we know that at least some people will be interested in those.

tl;dr: if anyone's gonna clog up the forum with threads, it'll be me.

It would probably have to be an artist a decent number of people would be interested in. (Beatles-yes, Elliott Smith- probably not). That would improve the chances of more member involvement.

But I'm cool with Trolls running the show

We'll probably end up at The Beatles eventually if Trollheart manages to keep the ball rolling.

I called the Information Hotline and they verified it. Are you telling me they charged me 100 pounds for a lie?!
