So I'm going to play this game with you all. It'll be pretty fun.

Essentially, vote for your favorite prog drummers of all time using a point system. Put a 10 next to the one you want to give TEN POINTS to and a 1 next to the one you want to give ONE POINT to. Here's my list, as an example:

10. Bill Bruford(Yes, King Crimson)

9. Billy Cobham(Miles Davis, Mahavishnu Orchestra, solo)

8. Jaki Leibezeit(Can)

7. Michael Giles(King Crimson)

6. Carl Palmer(Emerson, Lake and Palmer)

5. Thomas Pridgen(The Mars Volta)

4. Brann Dailor(Mastodon)

3. Sean Reinert(Cynic)

2. Richard Christie(Death)

1. Phil Collins(Genesis, Brand X)

Since Bill Bruford is my number 1 choice, he gets 10 POINTS. Since Phil Collins is my tenth favorite drummer, he gets ONE POINT. People get confused about this, so let me reiterate: PUT A 10 NEXT TO THE DRUMMER YOU WANT TO HAVE 10 POINTS, 9 NEXT TO THE ONE YOU WANT TO HAVE 9 POINTS, ETC. Do NOT put a 1 next to your favorite drummer. Put a 1 next to your 10TH FAVORITE DRUMMER.

IMPORTANT: You MUST have no more and no less than 10 drummers on your list or your vote will NOT be counted.

ALSO IMPORTANT: Drummers from Prog Related bands like Keith Moon and John Bonham, as talented as they may be, are NOT ELIGIBLE.

Voting will go on for a few weeks or a month, depending on voter interest, and then I'll take the 25 drummers with the most points and put them in Prog Polls for Best Prog Drummer of All Time!

Get crackin', folks!

Heaven's made a cesspool of us all.
