I thought that, in all fairness, I should stick to my nominations from last time as close as possible.

So once more i'm backing The Blues Brothers, The Wilburys, and Guns N Roses.

With additinal nominations this time around for Queen and Bon Jovi.

I stand by what I said last time about BB, they may be a "fictional" band, but their music is very real, and very hot.
They did a lot to promote R&B and bring it to a new generation.

The Wilburys, I still think they are the best supergroup EVER!
True, they only did two albums, but I think that was because Roy passed away shortly after the making of the first.
I know Jeff, Tom, Bob, and George felt conflicted over weather to make a second album (they very briefly considered bringing someone in to replace Roy before deciding there is no replacement for Roy, a sentiment I can dig ).
Perhaps they decided that after making the 2nd album that working with The Wilbrys name was not the same without him, but that's pure speculation.
What I do know is they made great music, and if Roy had lived they would have made more.
A great band despite the lack of a huge catolouge of work

Guns, as I said last time, when I was a kid we all had two things. Skateboards, and GNR stickers to put on those skateboards.
The fact the music is great doesn't hurt.

Queen.
What do I need to say there?
Great songs. Great musicians, and Freddy Mercury, awesome vocalist and showman in a class of his own.

Bon Jovi.
Epic tunes.
Their earlier work was the best, and they deserve their place on that alone.
