Kudos this year to Idolator for challenging the Voice. Until their poll results come in, acquaint yrself with the Pogo equivalent. This year's ballot, like last year's, aims to showcase those artists and records so groundbreaking, so inventive, so unfairly overlooked and ignored that they don't technically exist. Because as everyone knows, the quality of a song is inversely proportional to the number of people who know about it. And according to this law of music crit, the following releases truly are

I don't know any of these darned bands. This distresses me.
Anyway, I'm coming back to a dedicated readership after living away from the Interweb for a long time. Get pumped.

Hey everyone, the bands are all made up. That's why I said in the beginning of my post that they don't exist. I fear for the sanity of my readers when they believe that there is an actual band out there called the Perverted Soccer Referees.
