All the nominations have been received, the numbers tabulated, and the results posted below. The directions are simple. Pick one. Most categories have three choices, but some may have only two. All categories from the nomination ballot that did not have at least two common nominees have been deposited in file thirteen.</p>

These are all "Reader's Choice" categories, so they may not necessarily line up perfectly with the CRB Top 10 Albums of 2017 list. Who cares, right? We're just having fun. Feel free to use the copy/paste method to make your choices. All votes that are sent to me through a private message on this site or on the Facebook CRB page will be counted. You can post your choices on the thread if you want, but the suspense holds up better with private messages. The voting will remain open until December 26th at midnight, Eastern. I'd like to get the final results posted before the year is finished! Thanks to everyone that chooses to participate. Have a Merry Christmas and a Classic Rockin' New Year in 2018!</p>

<p></p>
<p>On a happier note, the Scientific community has replied to my petition to adopt and standardize this method of posting new music, many of you know it was the theory that posting the first 2 and last 2 tracks give the listener an absolute feel for the entire album and therefore results in more purchases for the artists. Well its theory no more, it's been officially adopted as the "Chuck Woolery law", or the "2 and 2 rule" (either reference will be accepted as correct) ... 9 out of 10 scientists agree. So have a stick of Trident and check this out! It's really cool...</p>

<p>I'm running a little late this year, but it is time to gather the inductees and then vote for the CRB Hall of Fame Class of 2017. The format will be pretty much the same as it has been for the last few years. But in the interest of new members, here are your directions.</p>
<p>Please compose a list of 10 artists (bands or solo artists) that you feel deserve to be in the CRB Hall of Fame. I will include the list of artists that are already in the CRB HOF below so you don't waste any nominations. Once you have your list of ten together, please order it from 1 to 10, with 1 being the artist you most want to see in to 10 being the artist you'd least like to see in. I really need you to assign this value. I will use these rankings to bring together a list of ten formal nominees. Then I will send out the official nominee list for you to vote on as well, and that's how we will determine who makes it in this year. This will be the seventh class we have inducted, and I'm very proud of that. </p>
<p>We will also induct one artist as a "Legend". This Legend Award is open to artists who have passed away since the last induction (April of 2016). I need you to make a list of three artists that you feel are deserving of the Legend Award, and order them from 1 to 3 as well, with 1 being the artist you'd most like to see win the award. Results will be gathered, tallied and the official nominees will be voted on in the same way as the regular voting.</p>
<p>Here are the artists that already reside in the world famous CRB Hall of Fame:</p>
<p><em><strong>Ronnie James Dio (2011)</strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong>The Beatles (2011)</strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong>Led Zeppelin (2011)</strong></em></p>

<p><em><strong>Van Halen (2011)</strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong>Queen (2012)</strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong>Rush (2012)</strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong>Kiss (2012)</strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong>Cheap Trick (2012)</strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong>Deep Purple (2012)</strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong>Ronnie Montrose (2012 - Legend Award)</strong></em></p>

<p><em><strong>Fleetwood Mac (2016)</strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong>Foreigner (2016)</strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong>Journey (2016)</strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong>ZZ Top (2016)</strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong>David Bowie (2016 - Legend Award)</strong></em></p>
<p></p>
<p>Wow, that's an extensive list, but there are so many artists still deserving of being in. The artist nomination process is open to all CRB members, Facebook page included. I will post a copy of this in the forum section so that anyone here that is not on my friends list can still offer up their lists. I'll post a link to it on Facebook as well. Please send your list to me in a reply to this message (do not hit reply all) so that I can keep you all in suspense. That being said, I will count all votes posted in the forum as well as on Facebook. </p>
<p>I can't wait to get all of your nominee lists in to see how this year's official nominee list shapes up.

<p>This year's edition of Record Store Day found RJ with a day off. It's the first RSD in several years that I haven't had to work. So I planned about a month or so ago to go find myself a record store. After checking out the RSD website for participating stores, I found that the closest store was about 45 miles away from me with another store in Columbia, South Carolina about 70 miles away. I ultimately decided to visit the Columbia store, Scratch N' Spin. </p>
<p>However, about three days ago, I rechecked the website to get the address to Scratch N' Spin when I noticed a new store had popped up on the website, and it was supposedly located right here in Augusta. After calling the phone number with no luck, I managed to get a response to a Facebook message. Sure enough, Grantski Records is a new store, just under a year, located in "The Hill Area" of Augusta. The cool thing was that Scratch N' Spin was opening at 8am while Grantski Records was opening at 11am. So I decided to get up at 5:45am and hit both of them.</p>
<p>I had two titles that I definitely wanted, Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit's "Live From Welcome To 1979" and Neil Young's triple LP "Decade". With that in mind, I got to Scratch N' Spin at about 7:40am. There was a line, but not long. I was about eight or nine spots back. It's a pretty big store for an independent, but we still had to walk single file back to the area that the albums were located. Of course, the aisle clogged up at the first end cap with RSD releases on it. I was just close enough to spot, but not reach, the Jason Isbell release. It was very noticeable. I patiently waited until I was close enough to reach in front of a few folks and grab it. Got the only copy (that I know of). I didn't notice the Neil Young release on the same end cap, but the gentleman I had been chatting with in line saw it and handed it to me. Very cool. I also picked up the Jimmy Page & The Black Crowes 10 inch release "Live At Jones Beach" and the Butch Walker 10 inch release "End of the World (One More Time)/Battle vs. The War". I picked up a few titles but put them back, figuring if I saw them at the next stop I could pick them up there. I didn't see any of them at Grantski Records.</p>
<p>Scratch N' Spin had a pretty good selection of used CD's as well as used cassettes. There was a 50% off sale on those items until 10am, but I decided not to shop them today, instead electing to head back in the future. The regular price on the majority of the cassettes ranged from $2.50 to $4.00.</p>

<p>It took almost an hour and a half to get back home and over to Grantski Records. The line there was a good bit longer. There was at least 20 folks in front of me. And this was a much, much smaller shop. The store owner could not let everyone in at the same time, and sure enough, the line stopped as I got to the door. But it wasn't long before I was let in. I noticed the Jason Isbell release there as well. Didn't see the Neil Young. I had already grabbed the Eric Church live release, "Caught in the Act" on double red vinyl, as well as the Rush release "Cygnus X-1" when the Def Leppard E.P. caught my eye. Of course, I grabbed it. It was the only copy. I had totally forgotten about this one, so I was pretty excited to find it. </p>

<p>All in all, I probably spent too much money today, but it was a fun experience. And now I have some "exclusive" releases in my collection. Oh, I almost forgot to say, I grabbed a 10 inch copy of The Foo Fighters "Songs From The Laundry Room". Then I noticed this evening that this was a 2015 release. No problems, I dig the Foo Fighters. If you have a chance on the next RSD, I suggest you go try to find yourself something that you can pop on the turntable and re-live the good old days.</p>
<p>Here are a few more pics of what I picked up:</p>
