nominations

Despite controversies and being a major subject of debate, the Jack Daniel’s Annual Rock Awards seems to be going strong, with its list of 2011 nominees being announced.
Honestly, there seems to be no sense in pitching a band like Pentagram against a band like Eccentric Pendulum, so the whole reason it’s considered “controversial” seems justified, and it is most likely that the debate will continue. Anyway, here’s the list:
