GTP Music Cool Wall Nomination Request ThreadMusic

Welcome to the GTP Music Cool Wall V2, where everything from rap to metal to classical to pop to grunge get polled to find out whether or not they are cool.


Polling works in pretty much the same manner as the GTP Cool Wall and Alternative Cool, but whereas that only applied to cars and anything else, here we poll things which are musical artists in case that wasn’t already clear. There are five poll options voters may choose from, and they may only choose one. These are:


· Sub Zero

· Cool

· Meh

· Uncool

· Seriously Uncool

These are then added up, with a score of 2 applied to sub zero votes, 1 to cool, 0 to meh, -1 to uncool, and -2 to seriously uncool, and divided by the number of votes to extract the mean. From this the coolness of the item nominated is derived.


The GTP Music Cool Wall V2 Results Thread.

___________________

Rules:

* Only one nomination per person until your nomination has been polled. Once the nomination is given a polling thread, then you are free to make another suggestion.
* Please include all information which you want to be displayed in the poll in your nomination as well as the picture you'd liked used in the poll. Those who fail to do this will have their nominations skipped.
* Do not nominate any of the exact same items that have already been polled.
* Nominations similar to ones already polled must have a significant difference that makes them a separate entity.
* Only musical artists can be polled. If you wish to request vehicles, go to the GTP Cool Wall. If you wish to request anything else, go the the GTP Alternative Cool Wall.
* Nominations which are not considered to be notable enough to be polled will not be polled. Notability is up to curator and/or staff discretion.
* Some nominations may be excluded or postponed for other reasons at nominator and/or staff discretion.
* Only nominations made in this thread will be added to the list, please do not write on the curator’s GTP profile, PM her or e-mail suggestions.
* Get your nomination right the first time.
* Nominations will be polled in chronological order of nomination, so it's first come first served.
* Nominations, rules suggestions, and other directly connected discussion only here. Save debates for the polls. Do not discuss the nominations in this thread.
* If your nomination is skipped, I will PM you telling you why I skipped it and offer you a chance to redo it. However, please make a new post with the correct information as I am not going back to the previous incorrect post. Your nomination will also go to the bottom of the queue.
*20 noms at a time, please. I can't take too many nominations.
____________________

How it Works:


* You nominate an item and it goes into the queue, assuming you followed the rules.
* A poll will be created every day or every other day (depending on traffic) unless the curator is unavailable to do so; in which case advanced warning should be given.
* The poll will be left open for seven days allowing member to vote on the five levels of coolness.
* Polled items will be placed in one of nine sections.
* Placement on the wall will be determined by a voting formula.

Thanks to TheBook,Tornado,Joey D,SweetShopUnion(boiltheocean),BKGlover, White & Nerdy, and Jahgee1124 for curating the original GTP Cool Wall, as well as Roger The Horse who created the Alternative Cool Wall, ich inspired this one.
I'd be delighted if this thread got pinned, but I guess it'll have to prove its worth first.

I'd suggest adding all the bands from the original Cool Wall to the new one. @astrosdude91 isn't very active anymore, and the Cool Wall thread is closed, so I doubt you'd be able to add to it.

My nomination, however:

M83

* Living people may not be nominated.

What does this actually mean?

* Nominations which are not considered to be notable enough to be polled will not be polled. Notability is up to curator and/or staff discretion.

Good idea, because I was going to talk about how it might be difficult when people post artists that no one really knows about as you can never judge a band off of one song, a band is so much more than that (though it does rule out 50% of the bands I like. :lol:).

Also, do you think that adding the artists from the old cool wall would be a good idea (like Daniel suggested)? It could be to save time, but it might be good to re-poll them because there's probably a lot more different people around here nowadays than 3-4 years ago.

If I suggest that, everyone gets upset :lol:, I think they should be removed, and if people want them repolled, then to let them nominate those acts

That's because I'm amazinger than you (and shut up! Amazinger is totally a word! :P)... Only joking, the only things I'm more amazing than are wasps. :P Who serve no purpose but to be annoying, much like me. :lol: But yeah, I'd agree, repolling would probably be better.
 
Public Enemy

Genre: Hip Hop
Current Members: Chuck D, Flavor Flava, DJ Lord, Professor Griff, The S1W

I have a feeling that some people are gonna vote seriously uncool without even knowing who Public Enemy is. I'd suggest taking a look at their music first if you haven't already.
