Album Recommend/Original Song Contest, Ill give you pedals!

Premise:
So, I have had a FT up for a bit and nobody has wanted any of it, and I don't use most of them. So what I have decided to do is have 2 little contests, and the winners will each get a pedal, which I'll mail to them (and I'll cover the shipping, unless you're out of the conUS - in which case you pay shipping). I'll give the contest 2 weeks (End will be Feb. 11). EDIT: Contest 2 extended until 5 entries have been submitted

Contests:
Contest #1: Recommend me an album (any genre) that I find mindblowing, by a band I have never heard of (may be tough as I have a huge collection).
Contest #2: Write an original song (any genre), record, and send it to me. It must be new though (as in you didn't make it until after I posted this).

Results:
Best album recommendation, and best song wins. Each person can only recommend one album, and submit one song (you can do both though). I'd like at least 10 entries for C1 and at least 5 entries for C2 - to prevent a scenario where only 1 person enters and I have to give away 2 pedals.

Prizes:
Cruzer by Crafter Analog Chorus, and Digitech Bass Synth Wah.

Email: jfreyvogel@gmail.com (for Contest #2 submissions)

Also,
Maybe - with everyone's permission of course - I'll put together a CD from the submissions, and do some artwork for it. Would be a cool thing for ILF. We can discuss that though.

You have to pick just 1 - If I have it already you can pick another though. (Please edit everything into the same post though, to keep things neat - Don't delete if I say I have it already, but put your newest entry in bold. I'll let everyone know if I have it so they can pick another - If I don't say anything, then I don't have it and it's good)
