It's time to get serious about music. Not every concert is in a park or massive stadium. Some music venues take you underground, compressing the sound yet amping up the music experience.

The AJC has offered some guidance on where to hear your favorite bands, like in our roundups on the best Atlanta music venuesbest outdoor ones and the venues that feel the most intimate .

Now is the time for you too choose which of metro Atlanta’s smaller, under-the-radar music venues do it best.

If you like to write a nominee for underground music venue, please email your pick to stephanie.toone@ajc.com .

We have even more guides to the Atlanta concert scene . There are also great venues for kids and rock fans .
