george:

I had already nominated Blue, so you get another nomination.

Everyone who has participated to this point gets one second. New folks get 5 nominations and 1 second.

Keep 'em coming. Great choices all around. I was wondering how long it would take to get an Ohio Player's album cover nominated.
