There are 12 acts in this poll who I’ve never listened to a single studio album by….and only seen 2 of the others live (Bon Jovi and Heart)

I chose Queen, as that first album really inspired my guitar playing!

I agree.

I voted Kansas but Boston's first is a screamer. First Van Halen is great too.
The first Styx album has some cool stuff on it.

Okay, Loverboy are out for the next round, to be replaced by Meat Loaf (not suitable for vegetarians). Smile



Seems a shame that his first album won’t get a look in, it was fairly decent….

Well, seeing as Loverboy hasn't picked up any votes so far (no surprise there), I've taken the liberty of replacing them with Meat Loaf's Bat Out of Hell album in this poll, although it's probably way too late to pick up any votes now. Embarrassed

Boston has to get my vote here. Their first album is perfect, and they never beat it, whilst most of the other bands I enjoy here are improved or even peak on their second.

I remember seeing them supporting Maiden in 1988... they were utterly dire

I've fallen out of love with Loverboy too, but who shall I replace them with for the next poll? How about Fleetwood Mac? They're not exactly Arena Rock, but I think we're all agreed that they're much better than Loverboy. In all honesty, I'd rather watch an episode of Lovejoy than listen to another Loverboy album. Tongue

Well, one thing's for sure judging from all the replies so far: Loverboy won't be appearing in any future Arena Rock polls, as there's clearly not much love for them here. Tongue

Maiden and Loverboy...!?!?! Talk about a mismatch.

Maiden had some awful support acts around that time... I remember Killer Dwarf were among them... Pinch

I'm not sure, but Yes, It Can Happen that I've posted this in the wrong forum, when only half the artists in the poll are listed on ProgArchives. Embarrassed


I did not even notice where this was placed as I usually just use the immediately visible on the forum home page quick n' easy Latest Forum Posts section.  I moved it.  It used to be that all were supposed to be in Prog categories in Prog polls (but I got that changed with admin approval before becoming an admin) and then the Proto-Prog/Prog Related forum had its option to make polls taken away for most users, so those often ended up in Prog Polls or General Music Discussions.  The Way I kind of looked at it was, as long as you think the majority are Prog albums or significantly related to Prog/ progressive (kinds of art and experimental music), and plenty of them are in PA (should be at least half in PA), then it's usually okay.

Funnily enough, Loverboy were the second Arena Rock band I thought of (after Rush) when I was putting this series of polls together. Both bands migrated here from my Canadian Rock polls. Smile
