OK folks, this is the new and improved version of our HOF.
I think it's more along the lines of what we want given the feedback and increase in interest.
Apologies again for those who took the effort to get involved first time around. Hopefully the improvements will make the extra effort worthwhile.
As you'll see further down this post, you can now nominate 23 candidates in 11 categories.
These are the categories (and how many inductions there will be for the first year)
Group (10)
Male Vocal (10)
Female Vocal (4 this doesn't seem to be popular so the number is lower)
Writter (6)
Producer (2)
Guitar (4, we all love the axe)
Drums (2)
Piano (2)
Bass (2)
Other musicians (2)
Service to music (2)
More interest and more categories means more inductees.
The service to music is someone who has done something to profoundly change the world of music for the better.
I was considering a singer/song writter category for artists who write their own material, but I think it's making things too complicated.
To simplify the matter, a person can be nominated (and inducted) under the two different categories.
From next year, all quantities to be inducted will be at least half of what we induct this year. for example, 10 groups this year, 5 next year.
I may also consider putting all musicians in one category in the future, but posting inductees under seperate headers (guitarist, drummers, etc).
I've got a year to work on that though
So, this is the new system
Week 1 - nominations via PM to me (see below for details)
Week 2 - A thread will be started for each category rather than for each nominee (i'm not posting 50 odd threads again you'll be pleased to know
)
You can discuss the pros and cons of the nominations on those threads.
Week 3 - PM me your votes.
I'll add up the results at the end of that week and post them on the hall of fame.
Any draw results may be settled by further vote if needs be.
So, the nominations and quantities i'd like each person to nominate............
5 Groups
5 Male Vocal
2 Female Vocal
3 Writters
1 Producer
2 Guitarists
1 Drummer
1 Pianist
1 Bass player
1 Other musicians
1 for the Service to music category

OK, here we go again.
