I think 10 points is enough forever. NO MORE POINTS.
I want to get new points when a band from my wishlist is announced.
It would be more fair if everyone got more points on a regular basis (weekly/monthly, etc).
It would be more fair if everyone got more points for special occasions (holidays, anniversaries).
Points should be special rewards given to contest winners.
I want more points but I don't know how / when I want them?
I have a better idea and I will post in in the thread!

When I was writing my post, I knew someone was going to reply with this. And yes, I wholeheartedly agree; they are just points. It probably doesn't make it any more likely that HMX is going to choose one band over another.
But...
THIS^ is my issue with it.
HMX can see how many points are assigned to each band, true. But, as was my case, personally I am not going to put points towards a band who already has a handful of songs in the game that I can actively go play. Does that mean I don't want more from certain bands we already have? No.
I'd love to have a greater selection from some of our current artists; G N' R, Metallica, and more songs for The Beatles game are just a few that instantly come to mind for me. And while I'd greatly like to put points towards those bands to show my support, I'm not going to. I just can't see the justification of putting the limited amount of points I've been given towards those artist while there are a great number of underrepresented and missing bands that I'd also like to see on the platform that I can put my points toward instead. And, assuming there are other people like me doing similar things, that forms an inaccurate depiction of what the fan base actually wants.
Then again, perhaps there's nobody like me and I'm the only one with skewed votes. But even if that is the case, I truly think separating the bands into "old favorites" and "hopefuls" (or something) would greatly change the numbers for a more accurate reading.

Who the hell is "B'z" and why are they in the top ten of the week?

...how are Harmonix at fault for your principles of distributing points? If you want to see more Guns n Roses, they're just as valid a request as anyone else. If there are 10 bands you want even more, request those bands instead.
And it should go without saying that this isn't the sole factor in determining what songs they get, and they have months of DLC coming up that literally have nothing to do with the tool.
Some Japanese band. I think one of their songs was in Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan.
How are they popular enough to crack the top ten? Or rather HOW ARE THEY BEATING BNL! not okay people.

Concentrated efforts.

Once I finally decide to vote for anyone I'll put on BNL just you MMB and Studdz.
