Sure, but it's heavy and it's rock.

Obviously yes. I love Hum and I know it's louder and heavier than many actual metal records that will place, but calling it metal or heavy rock just seems wrong.

Perhaps it is your record store's shelves that are wrong.

Usually we wait for the results before we start screaming NOT METAL

For what it's worth, I just typed "what genre is the band hum" into Google and the first thing that came up was "alternative metal".

I don't think it's weird at all to include them. It's not like someone nominated the Spin Doctors
― Red Nerussi (Neanderthal), Sunday, 7 March 2021 14:36 (three years ago) link
Yeah I guess I'm the one having the blinders on. I just thought nobody would seriously think of Hum as a metal band.

This has never been a metal-exclusive poll.

it's in the title, even. heavy rock is a term that is pretty broad and inclusive.

It's going to be fun if Hum win

now she's out back counting VOTES

Hum probably sound more rooted in Black Sabbath to me than a lot of the bands on that Decibel list do, though.

They were at the bottom of my list tbc.

In a break from previous traditions we wont be starting the rollout today as pom is busy and doesn't want to miss out on any of the rollout.
So I think we will be starting tomorrow about 8/9am his time, which will be UK lunchtime I think?
― Oor Neechy, Sunday, 7 March 2021 19:01 (three years ago) link
ahaha that makes at least 4 of us xp
― imago, Sunday, 7 March 2021 19:01 (three years ago) link
I hope you are all excited
― Oor Neechy, Monday, 8 March 2021 11:49 (three years ago) link
Won't be able to listen along because I'm at work, but at least I can follow the rollout since I'm working from home.
― Iannis Xenakis double fisting Cutty Sark (Tom Violence), Monday, 8 March 2021 13:17 (three years ago) link
Starting in 30 mins or so. Stay tuned.
― pomenitul, Monday, 8 March 2021 13:51 (three years ago) link
Very excited! Working until half 6, but I'll be checking in sporadically.
