    2020 Cripper Award

    by cegr80 » Thu Dec 26, 2019 3:41 pm

    Let's set up the rules for the nominees:

    1. The band must have never played on the boat before
    2. The band must have less than 10,000 listeners on last.fm
    3. The band must not have "famous" members (from other well-known bands, for instance)

    Given the rules mentioned above, I believe we don't have our first Cripper band nominee just yet. Archon Angel could be included BUT Zak Stevens is "kinda famous"

    Yeah Zak definitely rules Archon Angel out.

    At this rate we may have to modify the requirements for the Cripper award this year, or just not worry about it!

    With 9 bands to go, still none that qualify.

    Sortilege - only 7,000 last.fm listeners, haven't been on before, no famous members. But a cult band that formed 40 years ago isn't in the 'spirit' of the Cripper award.

    Æther Realm - 11,200 listeners. Given the lack of contenders, maybe they are "near enough"?

    Once Human - 12,300 listeners. Lauren kinda famous as she sang with Kamelot, and I believe one of the other band members used to be in Machine Head so maybe not....

    We were worried that the last few announcements were gonna be a rack of crippers and nobodies, so I gotta say that I'm pretty happy with this outcome. I suspect we'll have a few crips to come, that said.

    I also think that Aether Realm isn't eligible due to their high level of popularity among cruisers, being in the top 50-ish most requested bands it's hard to call them an unknown act in this context.

    I can't say I'm unhappy with the lack of Cripper bands this year. We were all expecting a raft of relatively unknown U.S.-based bands to be announced in these closing weeks, and while we've gotten a lot of U.S. bands, they -- surprisingly -- haven't been unknowns.

    You could be right; maybe we'll need to suspend the award for this year.

    I think we should wait until all the announcements have been made.

    Agreed that Without Waves is the only solid candidate so far. And they're actually fucking good!

    No Raza out as they've been on before.

    Firstbourne and Spoil Engine both genuine candidates though.

    With five candidates, I think we can all agree with Nathan Explosion's "new, improved" catch-phrase:

    "That's do-able!"

    so, I'm new. what exactly does it mean to be a cripper? just those first three questions? so then you just vote for what you liked the best? I never heard of no raza before they were announced and I liked them better than the bands listed here.

    The first year ‘Cripper’, a band no one had heard of, came on the cruise and crushed it. So every year when unknown bands are booked, one of them will be declared that years ‘Cripper’ band.

    No Raza, while very good, doesn’t qualify because they were previously on the boat. They qualified there first year though I believe.

    Bands have to have fewer then x (10,000?) last fm listeners
    Can’t have a famous member
    Can’t have been on the boat before

    I didn’t see all the bands, but my vote goes to ‘Spoil Engine’, I thought they were pretty good. An official, click the radio button poll will be posted shortly. Only a small number of people have the access to creat the poll.

    No Raza was great but i think they were on boat few years ago, hence not eligible (not their first time).

    Bloodbound has over 70k (no pun intended) listeners on last.fm. I'd say that's major enough not to be a Cripper.

      Is Wilderun ineligible due to last.fm listeners? Otherwise I'd think they would qualify. They are unsigned.

      Not only they surpass the 10k listeners, they have already become "quite famous" with their latest album before they got on the boat

      I'd accept the last.fm listeners as a valid reason, but just because a band gets well known due to an album release shouldn't render them ineligible in and of itself. (But of course that probably drove their listener numbers up...)
