Rules and notes
1. You vote off two bands you don't like until we get to the top 10 than it is one band
2. I will let this sit for a week, to see if enough people want to play, than I will set a two day closing time for voting, but you can start voting now
3.
If there are bands that you think should be added by all means let me know, I edited off some of my favs to go with the familiar.
4. Example how you play. I don't really like The Pixies or Sonic Youth so I vote
Pixies
Sonic Youth
so feel free to vote away
