[edit] The "Sound of Omaha"

The "Sound of Omaha" only exists in the author's mind. Please remove. Lolafan 16:08, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

I see the author has subsequently added a reference, demonstrating that his is not the only mind it exists in, and that it exists in other places too ... Pdfpdf 12:58, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Pdfpdf, thanks for the d. However, just for clarity, I didn't author that particular section, and I share Lolafan's scepticism. I did take this section from Music of Nebraska. After researching the issue, though, I did find citations supporting the claim, and added an additional citation to the first sentence. I think history will spell out the so-called "Omaha Sound" more, and I look forward to seeing scholarly work that supports the notion that there is a distinctive compositional style that was harbored in Omaha, Nebraska at the turn of the millennium. – Freechild (¡!¡!¡!¡) 15:23, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Redlinks

There are a huge number of red links in the article, which means that it is entirely about non-notable bands or someone is very slow to create band articles. Can I suggest we remove any reference to a band that does not qualify for Wikipedia notability. DJ Clayworth (talk) 15:35, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Go for it. A lot of non-registered users have taken the liberty of adding their (or their favorite) band to the page, and those that aren't notable should be removed. • Freechild'sup? 02:00, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
