I look up, I'm almost blinded
by the warmth of what's inside me
and the taste that's in my soul,
but I'm dead inside as I stand alone...

Looks like Spock's Beard has won.
GY!BE would need two votes to win this.

Well said. 
In my mind, the bottom line is that new people are being brought in to our site and with that brings the opportunity to expose every genre to new people. It's not about who wins this poll, it's about introducing our favorite music to new fans. |
I would agree with this, but then I wonder how many of these new members will show their faces again between now and the next time SB shows up in the tournament (and after the tournament, at all)? What I've seen so far from browsing the last few pages is a ton of 1-2 post wonders...

^ Very good point! I think maybe more people from them SB forums might actually go and change their mind, and listen to GY!BE and understand that they have made a terrible mistake :) !

As I'm writing this I wonder how many people must be thinking "Ohhh, a new post by Morningrise...and it's September 24th already...the poll must be closed by now"
I feel like an Alfred Hitchcock of prog polls
Seriously speaking, this post is to communicate that due to how close this poll is, to avoid any suspicions I'll also say the approximate time that I plan to close it (hope I don't forget)
15:00 hs. (Prog Archives hour)
Until then, keep on biting your nails...
