You need to enter a full band name in each of the blanks. Capitalization
is ignored, and a leading 'the' is stripped. Other rules of input include
things like:
- Full band names, not just truncations
eg: siouxsie and the banshees (not just 'siouxsie')
- Names in normal 'firstname lastname' format
eg: david bowie
- Leading 'the' is always stripped
eg: cure (same as 'the cure')
- Don't use abbreviations unless they are the most common
eg: pop will eat itself (not 'pwei' or 'p.w.e.i.')
and: nine inch nails (not 'nin' -- no one _says_ nin)
but: nwa (not 'niggaz with attitudes')
- Denote soundtracks using '(soundtrack)'
eg: pretty in pink (soundtrack)
- Solo efforts should be entered on separate lines (if you like the solo artist)
eg: japan AND david sylvian
eg: police AND sting
- Band name changes should be entered separately
eg: clan of xymox AND xymox
eg: southern death cult AND cult
If your spelling is wrong, the pulldown list will probally contain the
right spelling. If the name is new (doesn't appear in the pulldown list)
please be very sure it is spelled correctly, and check the new box.
