Too bad I missed this, but then again all the albums I would suggest would be voted off immediately anyway.

Umm... I haven't seen TMV and Talk Talk in any of the polls. Am I blind? Please point me to those, if they've been included in the polls.

They will be added by Tonight
Notice they also have 5 albums in their Brackets, and its only 1v1, therefore, someone is left out each night.

Yeah, but you're not alone in loving Ulver. One of my favorite bands.

You've just had a heavy session of electroshock therapy, and you're more relaxed than you've been in weeks.

sadly, I really need to listen to Osage Tribe out of respect for MANDY... part of this was the hopes that people would broaden their horizons and not blindly vote, but if not at least i tried

Hey! I have a suggestion for those of us with...ahem...crappier internet connections. I.e. dial-up.
Could the first line in the first post of each PROG OLYMPIC thread be the two fighting bands? That way I could ghost my mouse over the topic titles and see who's playing in that thread without having to open each one individually OR keep them all in my head (a harder task yet!)?
