Robert Plant - Prog?

"Sorry" followed by an question mark is not asking for an apology or making some sheepish apology of my own, it is a colloquialism meaning "Pardon?", a figure of speach marking incredulity to your statement: "Please don't say I imply bthings I never said"

If you accuse a band being added here because it is someone's favourite band then the implication is the band was added for that reason and not because the eval team believe the band is Prog. Now if that is not what you meant to say then that's fine, we will move on having had that misunderstanding cleared up. They are humans, they make mistakes, I remember having made a lot, for example, Micky Raff and I believed in a recommendation to send DISCIPLINE to Neo Prog, but at the end thanks to a second revision, we decided to stay with them. Sometimes when a member insists and insists in a band I have doubted, almost felt tempted to accept the band, as a fact at least two times we accepted them and later in agreement with another team, had to move them This is a lot of pressure, and we are humans and able to make mistakes. A proof that the teams are working well, is that this cases are few and often cause a lot of debate, but we don't see this cases daily.

If this is what you really meant then there is nothing of that that can be inferred from the statement you made: "We are adding Classic Rock from the 70's, adult contemporary musicians, Indie, alternative, etc, because a few love to see their favorite band here".

 

However I do not agree with your expanded explanation either. Of course people make mistakes - that's why we have a minimum team size and majority voting and why we stamp down on people putting pressure on teams to get results (even from within the team itself). This minimises the possibility of mistakes but cannot completely irradicate them, however what it does mean is that the kinds of "mistakes" you are referring to here are extremely rare and certainly not on the scale you are implying here - ie ones frequent enough to be noticed. To date I am not aware of any band that was added here solely because they were someone's favourite band - every band added was evaluated and added by due process. You may not agree with some of those additions, but they were not added because a team was put under presure from anyone else.

Not a personal attack Dean, I'm not sating your arguments are absurd, I only say I disagree, but honestly I get the impression that you are always there to contradict almost whatever I say in whatever thread...That's not an attack, it's an honest impression.
