Nominations for The Greatest Musician/Musical Act of All-Time
To get away for awhile from fights over foreign fights and people being X'd out here (please don't smite me, Maniac!) we begin the follow-up to our Greatest Author of All-Time Tournament with the search for the Greatest Musician/Musical Act of All-Time! Regional groups this time, US/UK/Europe/World (unless someone has a better grouping plan.) Either way, once again, everyone gets 4 noms, and we'll start when we fill out our Bracket of 64, 16 per group. Go! :)

But truth be told, it can be rather difficult to identify musicians from the old times. Classical composers are known by name. Folk musicians for the most part aren't. I love "Barrett's Privateers", but I couldn't tell you who wrote that.

So, the list of (nearly) 128 seems to be missing Radiohead, REM, The Stone Roses, The Smiths (and I don't like The Smiths), The Pet Shop Boys, The Beastie Boys, The Beach Boys and The Kinks.

New Proposed Feature
I was wondering if any of you coders out there can code a new feature that allows a player to repeat the previous phase's moves. This would be really useful when playing stalemate games that are drawn out by one player attempting to break through, hoping for an NMR or waiting for others to be taken out of the draw. It gets very boring sometimes to enter the same moves repeatedly and helps to avoid careless mistakes.
