If in fact the band we are talking about is Rainbow then you will be happy to learn that they have already been proposed and will possibly be voted on later.As always, we require as much info as possible and generally that includes the NAME of the band

 

THIS EDIT BY TROTSKY: Because this thread is old, there is some incorrect information that has provoked some confusion ... I am closing it and opening a similar thread with updated information ...Cheers!

Let me guess - Rainbow !!

People there have been a lot of different threads discussing band submissions ideas ... and the process itself has changed a number of times ... Seyo for example as a Special Collab is now able to add those bands himself ...

We do apologise for the fact that some personnel turnover caused a big traffic jam in band submissions and we do have 100s of acts to go through ...

Please submit your entries to this address [email protected]

Cheers!

Do we send the mp3s in 5 seperate letters? I tried zipping them, but gmail won't let me send more than 10 meg at a time.

 Two syllables, 7 letters by any chance?

EXCELLENT!!!!

 Bloodrock:  Bloodrock III

                            Great hard rock band kinda in the vein of Deep Purple's first three albums and

                            older Uriah Heep.  At least as proggy as the aforementioned bands which are

                            included in the archives.

I am already giving up... too tired of waiting.

eriksalkeld, I have been waiting since 1 October to see addition of the bio of artist Drago Mlinarec that I submitted, after a decent amount of time spent working on it.
Here is where it ended up:
Drago Mlinarec bio addition pending

There was Useful_Idiot saying "definitely prog" and no one else seems to care even to listen to that 5 mp3 I also submitted. There is obviously a problems with Band Addmission Team, I saw many members giving up - and other collabs, like me and you who are not able to technically add a band, are this way discouraged to continue making new proposals.

Jesus- thats WAY too much work to get a band on this site- thats a joke right?
