Yeah, okay, Africa, how many bands/artists in the PA database? Ermm (Answer: not enough). Unless we count North African bands?


That was clearly a joke man. I never heard of a band from this area.

I have a question:  Other than location, what criteria do you use for including a band/ artist?

I just about always participate in polls but this idea has my attention. Maybe because i'm about to review quite a few from this area. And i'm for the Isreal/Asia poll too.

I would have liked you to wait, but it seems you already started anyways. I hope I have the time to check both tournaments. I'm just listening to 6LA8 right now, by the way, and it sounds really great.

Anthony, this is a great idea and I don't see how is it interfering with Morningrise's poll. Just know that it will get behind all the survivals polls which is a bit frustrating. But as successful as the Latin American poll is I'm sure this will be too.

Do it.

I really wish you would have conducted a poll to make sure that this poll was a good idea.

They would certainly destroy the competition.

Yes, but perhaps it's best to wait 'til Morningrise is done with the Latin American one.

Maybe Israel has some interesting prog bands as well.

I'd say yes, but not right now. Maybe Umm Kulthum, the Egyptian inventor of epics, should be added first to give Japan some contest.

I like the idea, I can always use more suggestions.
And as you've already suggested, waiting sounds like the thing to do.
