Battle of the Reviewers - Give your nominations here! (members, reviews)

Hey guys

Sometimes after I wrote the Album Review Index, I tried to think of things it could be useful for aside the obvious, which is finding reviews. One idea that I did have was why not arrange a little contest between reviewers. That might make people read more reviews and it could also give a little back to those who spend their time contributing to the site that way. How to do it? Well, I did think about something grand like Comus' battle of the bands, but it's a bit too much I think, so I guess I'll fall back on making this a simpler poll.

What I want first, before I make the poll, is nominations. When posting your nomination, keep this in mind :

Nominate one reviewer
Don't nominate yourself

In other words, there are lots of reviewers on MB and it doesn't make sense to put all of them in the poll. I don't want people to simply fill in the missing reviewers with their nominations either, so pick someone you think does a good job (you choose the criteria). Hopefully at the end of this, I can make some sort of poll with the nominees.

I'll keep and maintain a list of nominees here :

Nominations :

ATTENTION NOMINEES!

Before the real poll, I'm gonna ask you to give me a link or two to reviews that will represent you in the poll that will be made eventually. This is to give potential pollers something to base their poll-choice on. I will send out messages in case some of you don't read it here, but those of you who do, feel free to send me some links whenever.

I'd like to nominate Seltzer simply because I just had another look at his King Crimson Education thread and his reviews, aside from everything else which is good, are amazingly informative which is someting I like.

Comus.

Because it's usually something a little out of the norm that he reviews.

Yup, good nomination! I got a lot of weird (and good) stuff in my collection now thanks to him

I'll go with Cardboard Adolescent, probably not the most helpful reviews but some of the best written on the site.
