Throwing another vote for toward Larry Reinhardt.

Can't speak for anyone else, but personally, I will confess that in matches involving guitarists with multiple noms, I might be affected by how someone I especially like has fared in another match (particularly when I might have found it necessary to vote against that artist in the other match).

It's not the most important factor. But it is a consideration with me.

Raging River of Fear -- Larry Reinhardt w/Captain Beyond, please!
