Ok - as I've already said:
One artist/group per topic
Name the thread after the artist [eg The Beatles, Aphex twin etc]. Start the post by giving their name and any other essentials, a short intro and a link to their page [also maybe wikipedia or some other helpful link]. After that you can put as much or as little information in the post as you want.
Phase 2 - discuss
Once someone has posted an artist then the idea is you can check them out - properly check them out, too. No half-hearted bollocks - and then post on what you thought. If you thought they were crap: say so. If you really dug it, well - go down the rabbit-hole... then maybe you can add to the post with further information [Gig dates, new records, anything you think could be of interest].
More in-depth prognosis here...
Phase 3 - collate
Okay, so since you're already talking about this band - then its a great place to post any current event info, gigs, albums, events and all that. So anyone wanting to know anything about a band on 'the list' need only click on the thread and our collective consciousness will tell them what they need to know.
So simple it hurts...
P.S. Don't post any of the GLR bands that already have their own boards in here - obviously there's no need, as we have plenty of info on them already ;D
