Yes but when I started To update the band profile, the last Pike was the number 280. Now I arrived at 630. And when you compare 2024 to 2023, you notice that 49 albums is not a lot.

Buckethead released literally 49 albums last year so I wouldn't be too hard on myself;)

Someone nominatedd Buckethead in avant-garde/experimental, but not the album. It's probably an album that isn't in the database yet. I've been updating the Buckethead profile for weeks now and it's a shame I didn't finish before.

And now when I'm saying something nice, you're complaining. Ironic, isn't it? :')

ScreamingSteel did say that he generally recognizes I make an appreciative post each year about MSA. So yes, I do.
