Wow. Thank you to Blogger for highlighting this blog, and thank you all for visiting. And to those who took the time to consider the photo and cast your own vote, I especially want to thank you. I believe this is the type of blog that gets better with more participation, and I hope you'll consider spending a few minutes a week here to give your opinion about each band I post.

Either way, thanks.

No member of the Wu-Tang Clan is going home voteless, but there was one member who, based on the tally, practically oozed leadership in the picture.

Congrats to Casual Tan! You're in charge!
