...you like Karnivool? I feel they'd be too much like A Perfect Circle, and I figured you'd hate A Perfect Circle because you hate Tool.

Firstly - A Perfect Circle >>> Tool.

...so... do you like 10,000 Days era Tool? Cause it's essentially A Perfect Circle.

I probably will, as I love Knox's solo records, and Tall Dwarfs.

Wait a sec, you nominated Dunedin and didn't nominate Toy Love?! The best band from New Zealand.

🧱 :cry:

I don't own any record by Toy Love, but I will check them out if I can, thanks for the tip. Are they the band with Chris Knox in it?

Yes that's the one, hope you enjoy them 😄

New page to be created for matchups.

Matchups will start soon (tonight or tomorrow... possibly tomorrow)

to avoid tournament overload... can we not wait until the album art one has finished (or is at least in its final throes) first?

How is two tournaments overload?

I don't think any confusion will happen and if the only two games running are City and Album Art, it shouldn't be an issue.

Should it?

I wouldn't think so. Its happened before.

Firstly - A Perfect Circle >>> Tool. Secondly I fucking hate Karnivool, but I know they have some fans on the site so I figured that might get Perth a few votes.

Well, unless Joy's version of NYC goes through, mine would look pretty similar but with one replacement to not completely focus on the punkish part of it:

The Velvet Underground
Sonic Youth
Public Enemy
Thelonious Monk (although born in North Carolina moved to NYC at age 5 and remained there)

Reserves:
The Ramones

I don't really like Sonic Youth myself but I assume they should be in there. If there's a clear majority for it I'd nominate Joy's lineup as is but I think it would give a more narrow picture of all that city is musically.

Someone stole Chicago but the team put together was strong enough so I'll let it slide. Since I'm moving to Atlanta I was going to do that instead. Atlanta is pretty weak though so I nominate the nearby city of Macon, GA, a small city of 90,000 people that is (with a bit of squeezing) the origin of these:

- The Allman Brothers Band (although formed in Jacksonville, FL, they soon relocated to Macon, GA, and remained there until the death of Duane).
- Otis Redding (born in nearby Dawson but moved to Macon at age three).
- Little Richard (born in Macon).
- R.E.M. (actually formed in nearby Athens, GA, but both Bill Berry and Mike Mills grew up in Macon).

Reserve: Randy Crawford (born in Macon).

This will probably need to change. They formed in Athens and are more well known for that.

Yeah I know. Didn't think anyone would do Athens though (damn it Cellar). Move Randy to team member and put Young Jeezy (never heard him to be honest but my daughter apparently likes him) or the brilliant jazz/blues singer Lucille Hegamin as reserves in case those who are more familiar with Y.J. would recommend that he is not material for this contest.

Well, considering the city I nominated has a higher population than your entire country, maybe you could be allowed to nominate New Zealand as a whole?

Well Norman did Dunedin so I am not sure that it would be fair
