Rock & Metal Forum Awards 2011 - Voting

Malice

As a follow-on from the discussion, here is a thread to vote on.
Anyway here's a thread for folks to vote on various categories for the Rock & Metal Forum Awards 2011. If you've got any questions or comments please post them here so that this thread is just used for voting.

Please only vote once per person and in the event of a tie I'll have the final say as moderator. If anyone wants something changed in their post after they've voted, let me know and I'll change it.

Remember the Album Lifetime Achievement Award is open to albums 25 years or more old. For those of you that can't subtract, that's from 1986 and before so no voting for Appetite for Destruction

It'd be great if everyone could use this template to keep things nice and neat (just copy and paste it when posting):
