Alex is actually going to overtake my post count one day.
He's posts per day seem to increase by at least 0.3 per day, whereas mine doesn't increase anymore.
So there you have it, stop calling me a post whore now.

I'm still upset about Taal, actually, because in the obscurity of Avant/RIO, Skymind was in the top 20. Now with only 35 ratings they're buried under mountains of the most popular bands here, and nobody will ever see them unless someone mentions them on the forum. Which is very rare these days.

Personally I don't care if Zappa gets moved to Eclectic, I would have thought there would be resistance from not only the team, but other RIO "specialists", ex-team members, and fans here. I could support a move but I would want a very broad consensus for doing so: Zappa is obviously such a huge, iconic artist that I wouldn't feel right moving him about based on the opinion of a handful of guys in ZART.
Re: Taal, well you and James will have to commiserate on that. Eclectic will not give them up, so that's the end of that. And they're not as obscure as you think, I've spread the word a couple of times and I got Scott (rushfan4) to check them out.

Mine didn't go up for the first time in a while today; I'm getting much busier with school this semester so far. So we'll see what happens. I think I'll be more busy this semester than I was last semester.

Zappa should stay where he is, unless he gets his own genre, which is impractical. Owning over 50 of his albums and being extremely familiar with nearly all of them, I can say that with confidence.

Lol, Zappa isn't that special to warrant his own genre.
Any fanboy could say the same about their favorite artist really.

You're obviously not taking my comment seriously. I would never suggest that for ANYONE else, only for Zappa, simply because he has his own style with pretty much any influence you can think of. That style alone on all of his albums, even if they're not all inaccessible, warrants RIO enough. I said my Zappa genre idea was impractical though. Because it is.

Nah, still don't see what's so special about Frank to give him his own genre if it were practical

Jazz, classical, blues, rock, avant-garde etc etc etc. I guess I agree with Alex and Chris because of how widespread Zappa's music ranged and all the genres it crossed into.

I have no idea what Showbiz Pizza is, I assume it's a purely American thing.

Fair enough. I may make a poll, it doesn't look like there was ever a thread about it. Not that the polls did any good with you tyrannical collabs in keeping Metallica out.
As as for Taal, :'-( :'-(

What did I miss exactly? I'm all confused...
PA's reorganizing and some of you don't like where Zappa is heading?
Then something about pizza?
