What's the process?
Download the whole shebang from one of the links down below. Listen to it. Then, maybe, again. Don't be a jerk. Did you really listen to it at least twice? I mean, at least start the songs twice. Give 'em a chance.
I was unsure of how to do the voting. A public poll seems, ahem, dumb. People will definitely look before listening. People will go in thinking this and that. Yeah, we risk the same thing with discussion in the thread but on a much lower scale - a poll is THINK THIS NOT THAT in concise, easy to read graphic form. Fuck that.
Voting:
The only sort of logical and secretive way to go about it is to send me a PM with your top two favorite artists (numbered one and two) IN THE SUBJECT LINE. For instance the subject would be "1.Beatles2.RollingStones." That will make tallying the votes super easy. Every #1 vote gets 2 points, every #2 vote gets 1. Votes get tallied and results will be posted on Wednesday the 19th. Maybe we'll be able to get more songs and some words of wisdom from the winner(s).
Artists can vote. Artists cannot vote for themselves.
Also, if I left you out it's because I couldn't download your work/you were a little late. I tried to get back to anyone who I had this problem with but I don't think I have everyone. If I don't, here's what you do - upload to yousendit.com (or some other file site - but not esnips. They hate me and refuse to work.) and PM it to me and I'll put it right here in the OP. I'm sorry, once again- I'm sure I messed this up. I know of at least one that I couldn't download/contact and I know that it's totally unfair to you. That said, I tried! I would wait but it's already Friday so I'd like to get moving.
Everyone else should be in here:
Let's do this, shall we?
The Music:
Mirror 1.
Mirror 2
Mirror 3.
That's 300 downloads if all goes well. If they run out, someone please reupload them and I'll post it to the OP. I'll reup them but I won't watch the DLs like a hawk, so it'd be more efficient if we work together.
Edit: I've used 92% of the limit. Someone please upload another one for use.
Artists included:
Berkelsauce
Georg O. Kappland Band
Ivory Tower
Lost Dignity
Navane
No Need For Thor's Hammer
Rob Carson
Star Track
Sweet Surrender
Artists not in the package but that should have been but I'm an idiot but how long can this sentence go on?!?!

If you know who the artists are please don't refer to their TL or real life identities in the thread. On the other hand, feel free to discuss the songs and this and that and try to woo listeners to vote for this person or that if it so pleases you.
On the other other hand, don't be a shithead and down someone just because you can.
Okay this post is getting super long.
Really, it's too long.
Let's review: Listen twice, don't be a shithead but definitely feel free to discuss. Give it time to sink in. Then, vote.
edit number 3000: I will be doing this again. There were people that were left out and for that I'm sorry, again. Submit next time and all the fame and glory will surely be yours and stuff.
Sorry if you need it, you're welcome if you enjoy this.
