The Nomination Booth: Harkan's Australian Albums Tournament

videoheadcleaner · 2011-11-02T18:19:28-04:00

Yes, it has arrived. The wait is over. <insert extra gimmicky line here>. Alright so before the nominations start, the formalities. RESTRICTIONS - No more than 2 albums by any artist - even though this could be a major restriction, I don't want the final rounds to be a 2 horse race with 3 albums from one band and 3 from another (it could happen). - There will be no redrawing - I spent a good hour making a table and splitting the album picks randomly to make for an interesting draw. If I could upload files to show you all, I would. I might just need to take a few screenies instead. - Australian albums only - the idea of adding Kiwi ones was also in there but I think the less the countries join in things together, the less talk of New Zealand being a state of Australia will occur (and vice versa). Also, you can nominate 2 albums for the tournament. If we get low numbers in the next few days, I will allow a second round of voting. EDIT: Now 4 nominations per user. Some have already made 2 and are able to make another 2. This first post will also keep up to date the nominations from 1 - 64.

Only five spots remain and will open up to 1 more nomination by any user.

I just added:

- Powderfinger - Vulture Street

I know that's two, but I can be greedy sometimes.

1 MORE EACH. 5 LEFT. LET'S GET THIS SHOW ON THE ROAD!

If Let There Be Rock is not acceptable.
