GTP Music Cool Wall Nomination Thread! V3 [Nominations Spots Are Open]Music

[Tex]

Welcome to the revival of the GTPlanet Music Cool Wall Nomination Thread, since there's Cool Wall in the Cars in General section, I thought it would be a good idea to bring back the Cool Wall to the Music Section. Since the music industry is getting increasingly popular every single year I think it's a good time to place artists on a wall of to show how good they really are compare to other artist.

Rules:​

• Only one nomination per person until your nominated artist has been polled. Once your nominated artist has a polling thread you're eligible to nominate again if queue spots are available.
• Once you nominate a artist, you can't nominated the same artist ever again.
• Once an artist has a polling thread, they can't be nominated again
• A artist can be any singer, band, orchestra, or composer that has at least one single in their existence.
• If a band had more than one different names in their existence still counts as the same band. (ex. Linkin Park/Hybrid Theory/Xero)
• However if some members of a band took part in different projects under a different name, those music projects are separated nominations. (ex. Tom Morello, Tim Commerford, & Brad Wilk of Rage Against The Machine, Audioslave, & Prophets of Rage)
• A single person that work on multiple projects is also eligible for nomination.
• Post your nominations here! Posting nominations elsewhere will not count.
• Make sure the information for your nomination is correct
• If your nomination is not in queue tag me.
• Since I'm going to use the same point system used the Cool Wall Thread in the 'Cars in General' sub-forum, any of the nominations from the original Music Cool Thread are eligible.
• You may change your nomination whenever you want. However, any changed nominations will be pushed to the bottom of the queue.
• Please leave all discussion about a particular nomination in the polling threads. This thread is for nomination, rules discussions.

How It Works:​

• Fill out 'Nomination Information' (one person needs to fill this out per nomination.)
• 2 polls will be up every Saturday/Sunday approx. between 18:00 UTC Sat - 0:00 UTC Sun*
• Each poll will be up for 2 weeks and will close exactly 2 weeks after being created.
• The poll will have 5 types coolness to choose from.

If nominated a already nominated artist that counts as a nomination, and your ineligible to nominate again until the artist has been polled.
