I have a collab with Mark Kaufman currently at about bottom of the pile in the Rock category. I have one or two issues with the system and also the people who actually judge. There are some categories that have perhaps a couple of hundred songs and Rock and Alt Rock have approaching 1500 songs each. This seems hardly fair. I have judged over 1200 battles because I wanted to listen to the songs and see what was rated higher to get an idea of the marketplace and competition. Sometimes I have a different opinion from most others but mostly my opinions agree. I cannot understand why our song is so low. There are some real turkeys in every way imagineable that have a better or similar rating. Either the system is not working properly or the people judging are not voting fairly. I have also noted that quite a proportion of songs are off topic. Some are pure pop some are country or folk. Some are thrash metal which has its own category. Also some songs have been mutiple entered in other categories. Perhaps Rock should be divided into more categories to even out the volume of entries and people should only enter one song.
