"Archives" Family of sites

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Does anybody think that there needs to be more than one "Archives" site, 

you know for different genres? This came to me during the brouhaha over 

the addition of Queen to the site, and I thought, since the "Archives" 

model is so cool, why not make one each for Punk, Metal, and Jazz?

	Most people here don't like those others, so I really don't care. If it happens, it just f**kin' happens

	It's a cool enough idea, but way too much work for our current team ... And the overlaps would probably create more friction ... should Pink Floyd be in PyschArchives or ProgArchives? should Return To Forever be in JazzArchives or ProgArchives? should DreamTheater be in MetalArchives or ProgArchives? (Or if you have them in both, can only certain reviewers review them on certain sites? ...) And what do you do about a prog band that mainly combines jazz and metal?
