VOTING ON CLASSIC ROCK THEMESONG
There are no pre-selected options for this theme. Any song from the classic rock era (falling rougly in between 1960's and 1970's) is good for voting, as long as it fits into the classic rock category. Think artists like the Jimmy Hendrix Experience, Cream, Beatles, The Doors, The Who, Led Zeppelin, Queen, Pink Floyd, Fleetwood Mac, T-Rex, The Mamas & The Papas, Zappa, etc. As always, google and wikipedia are your friends.
The main thing is to be creative, please don't go with sheep-voting just because it's easy. This theme may require some more thought than the previous ones, but it should be equally rewarding when you get your own themesong stamp! The stamps will look something like this:

For this application you need to imagine you're living in the swinging sixties or the free-wheeling seventies. Woo!

LISTENING TO YOU I HEAR THE MUSIC
Welcome to the scene! The first and foremost thing to do is to come up with a scene-name for yourself! It can be a new groovy surname, anagram of your name or something completely different. Go wild:
So go on, who's the number one hottie on your list? Or top three?
Unfortunately your ultimate dream-hunk is sick and his (or her) band isn't coming to the town during this hot summer, but there are a bunch of others that are. Alas, they're all holding concerts at the same time and you can only go to one! Who will you choose?
. . . . . . . . .
FROM YOU I GET THE HEAT
I can't believe it! You got invited to one of their notorious afterparties! Will you go, why, and what would happen?
Could you marry a rock-star or would you rather settle with someone more "normal"?
Dating hot rockstars aside, being in the limelight can give you a platform to do your own thing. Would you use the opportunity, and what would you want to be known for?
. . . . . . . . .
You can post one or two of your coolest, hottest, or grooviest pictures:

Is there someone you strongly disagree to be voted as?
