^ Good work, my friend -  since you ask, I would also:

- Date (year)  next to signature, for future reference
- Headline the bio with "Formed in 1982 in Hartford, Connecticut, USA"  (*)

(*) This example is not the most showing but look at the one below

What about listing some artists. Then we can pick them up from the list. I like investigating the obscurities
I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

Guys, we look forward to have your feedback on last comments - any tips before we declare take-off ?

I'll add another one: I usually include hiperlinks to  related artists, e.g. band members individual pages, took this from my mentor Eugene and it is hiper convenient (think of newcomers exploring a genre !)

I'm aligned to all the comments above. I was planning to start with the RIO / Zeuhl top 100. Social calendar should be a little lighter the next few weeks so should get started.

Yeah, you and me are probably going to be looking at the same bands, we should set up an on-line excel file of bands with people checking out an in the ones they are doing.

Agreed

So my first 5 artists are, Zappa, OOIOO, Thinking Plague, Cardiacs, Present

None of mine appear in the bottom 5 so we are good to go.

My bottom 100 starts with Univers Zero, but Raff has done an excellent work with their bio so I'll move directly to Far Corner

I'm consulting with JRF about Miles bio "needs", but any of you guys can take a peek and tell me what you think (the author Alucard is not around anymore, is he ?)

Zappa & Magma didn't need any updating, OOIOO has been updated to bring it up to date.
