About Me |
|
| RAIN RECOMMENDS This site exists to connect people with music they will love. This point of this space is to connect music fans with bands & musicians, helping fans find music they will love & helping bands build the fanbases that will support them as they strive to create compelling & powerful music. Here you will find emerging bands, underground bands, & forgotten bands. There will be no Top 40 artists here.
I.The top 4 friends are my Featured Friends:
III. The bottom 20 friends are bands you should check out. IV. The "Best Of" List --On the left side of the page are permanent links to the best bands that I find on myspace. The bottom 20 "top friends" rotate regularly, but the best bands, once they have spent time in the bottom 20, will find a permanent home on the left. This list is always under construction. If you are in a band or know of a band that you think should be up on this page, let me know! |
