🎵 HGATR300: The Big Vote 🎵

Hello! As you know, we passed the 300 thread mark last Friday and, as is usual now, it’s time to do something to mark the occasion. Seeing as my main idea got shamelessly nicked, I thought we’d defer to whst we do best. Voting for stuff!

HOW IT WORKS

Below I’m going to post the current top 100 from the HGATR leaderboard. Voting will work in a similar way to the Music League. You have 10 votes to distribute however you like, you can give all 10 to one artist, one vote to 10 artists, or anything in between. To vote, send me a DM with your choices and number of votes you want to give each artist.
Only DM votes will count so no point posting them here. No half-votes and only votes for artists in the top 100 will count. The vote will stay open till Friday and then next week we’ll do the results.

Any questions?

Here are the 100 to choose from:

Aretha Franklin

They haven’t had a HGATR vote yet. 5/5 when they do

How far out of the 100 were Modest Mouse btw?

The jury of Mapsland has not yet voted and will take time to consider how best to dish out the points (await a bribe).

We also feel strongly about Discobot rights and would politely request that the cantankerous old shit-tin be given a D20’s worth of points and a D100 to give a pretense of randomness about which contentious act he chooses to kingmaker.

Votes in, just pasted the list and cut out names until I couldn’t justify cutting any more (then still had to remove a few to get down to 10).

No idea how to play this. 10 votes for my absolute favourite? 1 each vote for 10? Spread 'em around a few bands?

the results of this are going to cause lots of delightful gnashing of teeth, aren’t they? and then radiohead will win
