I agree Craig. I¹ve been on this list for probably 20 years - moderately
very active poster over that time. While the list isn¹t nearly what it
was, I think there may a time it may fan into flame again. I don¹t think
it has anything to do with people losing their interest in music, and
especially Audities-type of music. Maybe just life.
I for one really appreciate that it is still operational - thank you for
continuing to give it breath.
And I had no idea there was a new Johan album and I¹ll be checking it out
(I also learned about Johan and tons of other Scandinavian groups through
Audities).
Many years ago, I made a comment on this list about best bands names. I
recently saw my initial submission has a newer record out, which I
personally don¹t care for, but I¹ll always think the band¹s name is Hall
of Fame worthy.
Half Man, Half Biscuit.
