THE METHODOLOGY: We began with your nominations, looked at traffic numbers and added and subtracted some blogs there, then the final selections were made by a small panel of industry judges.

We originally had intended a category for best fan or band blog, but got the nominations were minimal and scattered.  Perhaps we'll revisit that category separately at another time.
