In accordance with the roster, each RC regular recommends ONE band which he/she thinks is worthy of more recognition (that is, I don't think we need someone recommending Opeth or Slayer so let's dig through the layers here)
- Each thread should include (a) album artwork, (b) band URL, (c) youtube/mp3 sample, (d) brief description of why you think the band needs to be heard. In response, the rest of us are allowed to voice their honest opinions, good or bad.
- NOTE: Thread Title should be as follows: "Recommendation: [Band Name] [Album Name]. (This way, in future, we can search for "recommendation" to see all threads, or "band name" / "album name" to be more specific).
Each week, all Three threads will be stuck. For the following week, they will be unstuck and replaced with the new recommendations from the next grouping.*
