Sputnimusic's annual battle of the bands is back and bigger than ever!

Or is it?

The SputRoyale Committee needs YOUR help to pick out a starting roster for this most exhilarating of all single elimination tournaments! Which acts should be in? Which should be out? What have you always loved/hated about this contest? What have we done wrong? Now is the time to let us know, let's go!

"Would dig feedback on my noms/suggestions god bless"

Your YESs were helpful and at least one will be in the tourno, but others were either a little too niche or for returning artists whose arcs have been heavily played out
Your NOs were a helpful enabling prompt and blood has since been shed
Your suggestions were the best suggestions that there are

We're currently on track to replace 42% of last year's lineup, and the overall total will likely be slightly higher

No idea if this will ultimately lead to a better tourno, but v v excited to see it play out

My suggestions are garbage. Didn't read the comments before filling in the basics so I had no idea we were going for full anarchy. That's my bad folks. I'll remember to make my suggestions more wild next year.

Hahaha haven't read em yet but no sweat - and the goal is less anarchy and more a balanced(ish) playing field that doesn't recurrently play into the hands of the same sput pantheon (fun as that's been the last three times)

how did I completely miss this? No-one reads the news (articles) anymore.
Are we still open for business (i.e. suggestions?)
