People people people.... this has been explained clearly, if the album is created to a lone person, it's acceptable to use in promotion for them.

For instance, under the current rules Zappa's Hot Rat's would count as a solo album, even though 11 other people played on the album. Same goes for a bandleader like Miles Davis, it's not like his works were solo trumpet pieces, they were fully fleshed out works that had many other musicians playing on them. |
....and seriously?? OF COURSE there's gobs of people playing on them! If we restrict it to solo artists that never ever had other play on their albums, there's not enough people left to nominate!
Plus, if we open that can of worms, we may as well disqualify ANY album that had multiple people work on it!
Under these rules, an artist would only be eligible if he wrote, performed, recorded, mixed, produced, distributed, and packaged all of his/her album all by themselves.
This is very simple. Why do we need to complicate it?

sure there are. but it wouldn't be as exciting.
I was more concerned about whether or not someone is gonna judge Neil Young's entire career around "Rockin In the Free World". haha

Valid concern, but I think we should trust people to vote based off the promotions given by the captains (like, you know, you're supposed to do)
There's no way to enforce the "Don't Vote Unless You've Heard All the Albums" rule, we just hope that those in the BEA community will be honest and truthful. 
Of course, I'm lying. Y'all are monsters...

Yeah, that's kinda why we were discussing picking the 3 favorite records to represent an artist of something.

Could I please do Neil Young? I've been listening to him since I was little, so I know a lot about his music.

Does this look like nominations to you?

Just a thought: I like the 2 or 3 album nominations idea. Whoever mentioned that probably, honestly, and this is just my guess based wholly off the brilliance of that idea, has a huge and beautiful penis.
But another thought I had was it shouldn't be a problem. We just had a pretty fun lil PPNW tournament and it simply involved promoting the artist you were the captain of, posting songs, etc. we could do it the same way. Or we could mix both ideas up and involve promotion of other kinds and promotions using other songs and data on the solo artist along with the albums the captain chose to "represent" the musician in question.

This is pretty much what I was thinking.
