Easy i don't like your idea.First what's the purpose to do that?Second many of the works of fellow PA members are difficult to find (here in México, ok egos).Third to the average visitor and lurker, did you consider that they REALLY interest to? more than the average visitor are here to talk about... Dream Theather and all it's incarnations!!!

Hey Alberto, I was being sarcastic and trying to make a point. Obviously it would be easy to use PA as a promotional tool if you were a member and decided to use the site that way. I'm not saying that people have done that, I'm just pointing out that it is possible.

I've been a pro musician for decades and I I know the ends and outs of promotion. I've recorded some decent demos over the years that got me gigs with: Mr Bungle, Primus, Faith No More (Hi Billy, he probably doesn't remember me),Nuerosis (Hi Scott, he might remember me), Marc Almond, The Ohio Players (Hi Sugar Foot, the nicest rock star I ever met), Black Flag, No Means No and I also made an unused avant demo with Gary Willis from Tribal Tech (we go way back) and some others I can't remember. For some reason, I'm not sure what it is, I really don't feel inclined to put any of these demos on PA. I guess others feel differently.

After reading through the last 5-6 pages of this thread I'll  be perfectly blunt.I don't really think members here should use PA as a platform to promote their music.It reeks of nepotism,and then you have problems like because of one negative review.

LOL.   I didn't see that until just now!  :-)  That is quite good, my plan is working.  Now, the rest of the incentive checks I sent should be just arriving in moments. hmmm, I wonder if I should add to my instructions to be a little more subtle.  Although the album is akin to the very first music every heard on the planet earth, it's that fresh!

At first I really thought it was you playing a prank on us ;)

Ps. There's a good suggestion for your upcoming tenth albums title, 'TOP TEN'. Oh, the word play.

Alright Phideaux, it's down to you and me. What do you really think of my idea? Don't avoid.

Oh, but I do.  I have several accounts.  That's the useful thing about IP address proxies.  And of course my legions of minions who do my bidding.  But, Easy, are you actually serious?  At first I thought it was just an ironic dig at devaluing the archives site with a bunch of us self seeking independent grabbers.

Now, I'm beginning to think you are seriously trying to do a "flash mob" bit of practical joking.  Merry prankster anyone???

Ivan?
Anybody?

Heh - he could probably cut and paste the review I made for USAprogressivemusic to achieve just that *chuckles*

I go to that page at least 75 times a day!~   [and that's precisely the only thing my mother knows how to do on the Internet!]

Can we go to our own pages to boost the numbers?  And what page is needed to go to???  Is it an official website?    Couldn't we just freeze the function once we've got all the 40 member based bands into the list and keep it in a temporal stasis (is that a Doctor Who term???  I feel like I've seen Romana mention it...)

Ahem ... No one likes my idea?   This doesn't depend on us, we need the albums of 40 PA members to be worth 5 stars.    Iván The PA top 40 isn't based on ratings, it's based on visits to that person's page.   Didn't had the slightest idea this existed.   Iván

Yep, that's how it works. (the top of the page, not the side of the page that lists the top 100 rated albums)
