Banned artistsAs a rule of thumb, any
artist with a rating of 3.5 or more in the list or on SputnikMusic, is banned. If it has a rating of 3 or below, you can send it, but
NOT from the album that has such rating in the list. For example, you can send me a Coheed and Cambria song that doesn’t belong to Afterman: Ascension, but not one from that album.
It goes without saying, but the following list contains completely banned artists - the next one is more of a guide, as those bands are kinda allowed, yet not recommended (all in accordance to what was stated in the previous paragraph, ofc). All the songs I was sent in my previous roulette are banned too (you can find them at the end).

Regarding roulette bans:- Every artist/band sent on the roulette whose song has received a 3.5 or more, is banned.
- If, and only if such song received a lower score, then the band/artist can be submitted again, but only once, indifferent of the score it receives the second time.
- Resubmissions can be from the same album or a different one, on the list or not.
- In case you resubmit an artist/band from the same album, and such record is on the list, that entry will not be counted as one of the obligatory songs sent from the list.
- Stating the obvious, but when a band/artist is banned, so are the albums by them on the list.
