I'm not interested in those bands at all. I didn't see the thread on bands, although I was looking out for it. I would have voted for Radiohead, and Radiohead alone.

I think this overly-engineered multi-stage voting process is highly flawed. I predict there will be so many abstentions on favourite band/group that the result will be meaningless. The real favourites are the artists who received the most nominations in the first place! At the very least, we should be told who they are.

Why not just create poll threads allowing people to select from all the nominated artists (or at least all the artists with multiple nominations), make them sticky, and leave them up for 4 weeks? Then you'd get a result worth having.

You can't have looked very hard

Splitting them into groups is hardly THAT engineered + the overall favourite will still win

Not necessarily true. I think Madonna got 1 or possibly 2 nominations yet she got 23 votes in Round 1. Find the nominations thread! (there are links in the voting threads that you've already been on).

Don't take it too seriously, it's only meant to be a bit of fun

.
'The Bends' is such a top album; I've been listening to HTTT recently.

My opinions:

Male Solo: Morrissey

Female: Don't have one

Group: Alas, Yorke-based band aren't there - GD it is.

That's a silly comment, it really is. What else would you expect after narrowing the field of choices down from all the female artists in the world to just four artists?

If a vote's worth taking, it's worth trying to get a meaningful result. Especially with a grandiose thread title like 'Digitalspy's Best Loved'.

As things stand, some artists who didn't win their group have already been eliminated in favour of artists with lower percentages of support who did win theirs. It's nuts.

Yes she was, and so was Marvin Gaye. Well, so were they all really.
