I agree Craig. Iıve been on this list for probably 20 years - moderately very active poster over that time. While the list isnıt nearly what it was, I think there may a time it may fan into flame again. I donıt 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 Iıll 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 donıt care for, but Iıll always think the bandıs name is Hall of Fame worthy. Half Man, Half Biscuit.
