We're gearing up for a massive voter turnout for this year's Readers' Poll.  We usually start nomination round in November but we feel this time it's rather premature as there's still some releases trickling out in the next few weeks.  So, we've decided to push back the nominations to December and the voting should hopefully take place the last week in December, with results, as always, tallied the first of January.

So, dust off January's releases and think long and hard on what you really think deserves to be voted on (ie: don't nominate your band's demo because it won't make the top 50).

Nominees will be screened once again to weed out things that weren't released in 2005 or for other reasons the staff and contributors see fit.

We've created a new category in the Forum if you want to discuss some of your highlights and lowlights of 2005 and for the entire month of December, Brainwashed Radio will only feature music released in 2005.
