The Stranger is one of the only albums I own that I would give a solid 10/10.

I find Turnstiles to be far superior.

Deep purple still come second in their heat despite vote tampering by second accounts, (billy joel had a discounted vote too) but now their strength is 7 not 8.

They're already playing early punk bands on the classic rock stations, so why can't they be considered classic rock on here?

Good point, we should keep that in mind for the next time around.

Gods some of the heats have been very tough, and it's amazing how 5 votes can be good enough to get through in one but nowhere near enough to get through in another.

Any thoughts on the running so far? I've been trying to have the next heats ready as soon as the older ones expire but today I was 7 odd hours off, sorry to anyone who was awaiting it with anticipation. Who's hooked?

I love it.

I love it. Wish Billy or Leaf Hound or Moby Grape made it :/
Hopefully Fifty Foot Hose will help me regain faith in the system.

The thing is, no matter how much you want it to happen, the obscure bands just won't get through, and as for Billy Joel, that was just tough luck.

I'm hooked.

What I find incredibly interesting is the difference in interest between the heats, some have far more votes than others.
