 Topic: something for almost everyone
Posted: August 10 2008 at 21:18 |
Some of these bands are NOTHING alike, its apples and oranges all the way in the gentleman's bout so cast your faithful dice ... just a bunch I bundled together ... this looks a bit like my MP3 player selection that I leave on shuffle when I walk the dog ... I think that me including Magma and not Yes , Tull , Crimson etc was done in a curios manner ... I
like a close poll but without bands like Magma and a few other clear
choice favorites listed in the poll , I doubt this poll would even generate any
interest ... I tip Magma will finish in the top three here (because I know the following they have on the site its pretty big) however I`m voting Kansas and I would do so up against anybody despite the fact that they probably wont win.

Iron Maiden,Magma,Spock's Beard and The Gathering would be my top four. Chose Iron Maiden because i have so much history with that band.

I went with Hawkwind , even though Magma should be there (but they are so well represented here  ).
Like Glass Hammer, Sylvan, Renaissance, UK, Ayreon are fine runner ups.
I felt like a Warrior on the Edge of Time  |

I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

It's a poll for every (good) taste in nature!
Oh ! no, no Genesis versus Yes, ??? How dare you?????
Hum!!! let's choose! what do i like here? Magma of course, Kansas and the Maiden, i like them too.
UK is great, but it lasted only 2 years and 2 studio albums,
and of course the mighty Hawkwind and germanic Eloy!
So i don't know;
Today will be MAGMA 
But tomorrow could have been Hawkwind.....like them both equally!

Voted Renaissance, but it was a toss up with Eloy... all bands on the list are fine, however!

A very nice selection. UK is the one that I listen to most, followed by Magma, Echolyn, Starcastle, Renaisance and Hawkwind.

Good poll Yorkie . I'm sure everybody must like at least a few of these.
I go with Glass Hammer, I think they are fantastic. Nice to see UK represented, they would be my second choice. Incidentally, will UKZ ever take off?

voted for Magma. I think I prefer the furious and unhinged to the calmer, saner bands listed here.
I really like Eloy's album "Inside", too, but it's not enough to vote for over such a fascinating band.

Very nice and diverse choice of bands outside of the usual Big 10. Most of these bands take up huge portions of my collection. My vote goes to Enchant since they appear to be the band from the list that I have listened to most recently. Other bands that get listened too quite a bit are Ayreon, Spock's Beard, Echolyn, Threshold, Kansas...alright almost all of them except for Magma, The Gathering and Eloy of which I have only heard a couple of songs each.

Kansas, Maiden and Spock's Beard are all big bands in my listening history. Maiden is probably the band I've listened to the most, but as it is right now: Kansas gets my vote.

I voted for U.K. I wish that the original lineup would have stayed together longer. I'd rather have seen them tour than any incarnation of the band ASIA.
