A category is at vote. Therefore any nominations will be frozen until the vote is over. Remind me to add your nominations after the vote!

EDIT: Frozen concept scrapped. Nominate on any quorum-unfulfilled category to your heart's content.

Just count all of my choices as a vote for that song/artist, OK?

I vote Livin on a Prayer. I was gonna nominate that anyway but I was beaten to it :(

The voting will take place on a poll thread. Link is:

Actually, I'll unfreeze nominations. Sorry, it wasn't the best thing to do. However, to keep forum clutter down and keep it realistic, voting will not start on all full categories immediately - it will go down the quorum-fulfilled categories from top to bottom.

Zotona, you can post your nominations, I've scrapped the freezing concept.

Why, thank you. :D
Best Album - "Fallen" by Evanescence
Best Artist - Joss Stone
Best Genre - R&B
Worst Song - "We Like the Moon (http://www.rathergood.com/moon_song/)"
Best Classic-"I Love Rock 'N' Roll" by Joan Jett

* Best Song (At Vote) Queen- Innuendo
* Best Album Live- Throwing Copper
* Best Artist Queen
* Best Genre um.... rock in all its broadness
* Worst Song The Titanic theme...
* Most Depressing Song Mad World (The Gary Jules version)
* Most Popular Song Stairway to Heaven (I dunno, just a random guess)
* Most Popular Artist Pfft....
* Best Classic Cat Stevens- Moonshadow

I'm doing every category anyway because this thread hasn't been around long enough to obtain a Quorum, whether you like it or not. Of the 5 choices in the Best Song category, they all pretty much suck compared to 1,000 I can name off the top of my head ... so there! [/rebel]


Best Song (At Vote) - Baba O'Reily (The Who)
Best Album - Dark Side of the Moon (Pink Floyd)
Best Artist - Prince
Best Genre - Psycho Funkadelica
Worst Song - Anywhere and anytime Avril Lavigne opens her cake hole.
Most Depressing Song - Love Song for a Vampire (Annie Lennox)
Most Popular Song - Who gives a shit?
Most Popular Artist - See above.
Best Classic - Define "classic", but by my standards - Bus Stop (The Hollies)

Hell, the only category left is Popular Artist...

maybe increase it to 10 nominations?

Too late. Maybe in the next ceremony...

ALSO: I accidentally put Away (2003) by Joshua Boniface as Rush on the poll. Sorry about that.

* Best Song (At Vote)
* Best Album: The Wall by Pink Floyd

* Most Popular Song: ? Some Spears maybe??

* Best Classic: Yesterday by The Beatles

Too late.

Too late? Dude ... this thread has been up less than 90 minutes!

NS General is not as fast paced as you seem to think it is. Hell, you're alienating posters who live on other parts of the planet where it may be 4 in the morning and they're asleep.

Nominations for competitions around here should last no less than 72 hours.

I'll keep that in mind next time. I'll extend nomination limits to 10, bring in more categories (some decade-oriented categories will definately be on the way) and keep the polls open longer. I know, I have rushed this.

The next one will be called the RKNSM Awards II and will have more categories, higher quorum limits, longer poll times and possibly even a fanmade song contest (Write your own songs and vote on them!) I was just toying with the idea of a music ceremony this time, and I didn't really expect this kind of response.

Of the 5 choices in the Best Song category, they all pretty much suck compared to 1,000 I can name off the top of my head ... so there!
I know... I'm not too happy with the best song category either... One of them was a fanmade song (apparently) and if I do this again I'll introduce a fan category.
