This list is generated on the fly based on readers' votes on your favorite local (capital district) bands, so every time someone joins, edits their profile, or unsubscribes, this list changes. The top twenty voted acts get listed on every Rkstar page in "The Local Twenty" in the top left corner. If you're a local band who would like to be added to the list, please visit this link. If you're just visiting to see who the most popular bands are, be sure to take into account the fact that new bands start at the bottom and it takes an average of 2 months to average out. You can read through recent news posts to see who has been added lately.
