Okay, Camel. Smile

What? You going for Camel against ELP?! I am very surprised. Wacko




yeah that surprises me as well.

Nice! Hey Ian, unlike the people put on General Micky's virtual sh*tlist.. you (Guigo is on another special list LOL) are  on a special sh*tlist.  Those I've met and enjoyed the company of... and WILL see again in person. 

Now you are a big strapping handsome young man...  let's see you are as tough and able to take a gut punch as you are intelligent and  fabulous talented as a writer

Hey, Micky, what do think about ELP giving Camel a run for their money?


I had no doubts. None it would be close, which is all that matters. Thus fun. Winning would just be the cherry on top.

'f**king' Camel has been officially retired and passed on to another group to have my ire for the next 4 or 5 years till we do this again!  Unlike last time they met when General Micky was occupied in guerilla warfare campaign upon the sitte and some of its collabs in the collab zone. LOL This time he had time to plan his campaign for the hearts and minds of the undecided/ambivilant and mobilize the small but passionate ELP army for the core votes. LOLClapWink

Anyhow.

Thanks to everyone for getting out the ELP vote. As I noted at the beginning of the battle, in addition to the hitlist/sh*tlist I have been compiling. I have been compiliing a good list. A list of battlefield promotions for those who showed great bravery in voting for ELP, great courage in the face of ridicule from their friends in supporting ELP.

Cheers to all who have voted. Clap

edit.  ...for ELP that is LOL 

remember everyone!!!

hmm maybe there should be a decent tune by Camel for this thread, in case anyone who is voting has been living under a rock for 43 years.  Six Ate????????

Camel had their turn.. now it is ELP's!! Show some love to an unfairly ridiculed and frowned upon group.  We love prog.. they are prog..  one of the greats.  Even ELP needs some love at times! Big smile

Again... the 'General Micky 1-Contest pass' is yours if you choose it. Undecided? Vote ELP and get to have my next vote in a future contest you have a strong passion for Thumbs UpLOL

Does this work retrospectively if I've already voted for ELP (I notice they're up by one vote as well).Wink

hah.  Now really.. if I said yes.. I'd never get to vote in any other of the polls.  LOL

That has to be reserved for swing votes.. the undecided!!!  They were the key to try win this.  Something I learned in my 2nd year of study under Field Marshall Ivan. Camel is a 2nd Division PA's cult favorite. I knew there couldn't be THAT many fans. The key has always been appealing the large but often apathetic center!

You see I really have to tell you

It just doesn't seem to make sense
Still...you turn me on

Camel is better but whatevs. ELP has gotten a lot of flak for years, so it's cool they're getting some love again.

Angry LOL

This poll should have been stopped earlier when the outcome was right. Same with the Le Orme vs Rush & Magma vs Hawkwind-polls.

I'm happy to see that outside of PA in the real world and the rest of internet everyone that has been exposed to the awful sound of ELP - hates them. Take a Pebble is kind of nice though.

Cactus Choir and elpprogster are missing here, waiting for the day "D" or the ultimate hour? Not enough though, but there are others not showing up here, Jeffro for sure is one of the many ELP troopers I've seen in ELP's threads. I've noticed ELP always brings the best fun out here in the forum Tongue


Ha, I voted earlier but didn't leave a comment. ELP of course, I don't mind Camel but they have a tendency to send me to sleep.

I'm surprised ELP are making such a strong showing in these polls, since I've often thought they might struggle to beat Little Jimmy Osmond on here.

Hey!  Has everyone forgotten the late 70s?  (Unless you were too young of course!) Us ELP fans took some flak let me tell you.  Didn't matter - Rush fans, punks, turncoat prog fans, skinheads, all lining up to stick the boot in along with the high priests of post punk cool running the music press.  Of course, the band made things worse for themselves with THAT album sleeve!  No wonder we come out fighting decades later - it's in our nature!

I can't vote in this poll, despite having enough posts.

Has Micky fixed this so only ELP voters can vote or has he closed the poll as soon as ELP scraped in front?
