it's ridiculous how people are leaving off Vander just because they don't like Zeuhl. Come on, you know he's a better drummer than Phil Collins in every way imaginable

Listen, I realize that haranguing people for their opinions without contributing anything of value is sort of your modus operandi, but to call out somebody for the way they voted without voting yourself is downright laughable. Collins and Vander are tied, for the record, so it's not like there's an overwhelming conspiracy to keep Vander out of the final poll. He's pretty popular in terms of points, as a matter of fact.

And yeah, richardh, you gotta switch out Nicko for somebody else and then I'll count your vote.

Why? Maiden are in the archives.

Nicko is a brilliant drummer and extremely underrated.

Then again maybe you were being ironic and just missed out the winky smiley face?

I guess if by bitchslap you mean flippantly nonsensical remark, as the word "Nominations" is right in the title of the thread.

Okay smart arse. Don't hold a tournament - that's not a request or a suggestion.

Your request will be taken under advisement. Approve

That should do, though the order past my top 4 (the one with 10 is our "best", right?) is pretty variable. Even those four are. LOL

Yeah, you're all good.

How about this: In order to satisfy everyone, I'll have a similar contest specifically for Proto-Prog/Prog Related drummers, and then the winner of that one can face whoever wins the Prog Drummers Tournament.

This was another thing I was wondering: Do you think it would be better, once all the votes were tallied, if this was done tournament style or if they were all voted on in one big batch?

Deep Purple is Proto-Prog not Prog Related- I would happily argue that the first three albums and the Concerto for Group and Orchestra are full Prog and that they are not in a Prog subgenre because of their later, more successful, albums.

Whether you count the vote or not is completely irrelevant and I couldn't give a damn either way. As I am the only person who has picked him it will count for nothing anyway.

On a lighter note - I'm a bloody Admin, not some "guy" and you do not tell me what to do.

I kind of shuffle "proto prog" into "prog related" in my brain-they're both not TECHNICALLY strictly prog and it just makes things easier for me, personally if I don't have to go through and decide which pr/pp drummer is "real prog"and which aren't. And also I mean that the ENTIRE vote won't be counted, all ten, since once again it just makes things harder for me if I have to reshuffle my brain for math purposes.

The rules are the rules, by God! Angry

Fair enough - scratch my votes.

...You could just change that one drummer and I'd be able to count all your votes.

No I couldn't possibly do that. I'm more than happy to stick to my principles and boycott your poll.

Have it your way, my man. We would've loved to have you. Cry

^I would have voted for Ian Paice if I were allowed by the OP, he's one of my faves. But now that you let me, I think I'll change my list.

Tony Fernandez (Rick Wakeman) 5 points
