Here's a little something I found recently you may like, Micky:

Agreed.  ELP should be winning by a large margin.

ELP, since Pictures at an Exhibition is awesome!

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!

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

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.

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

Hey Ian, unlike the people put on General Micky's virtual sh*tlist.. you (Guigo is on another special list ) are  on a special sh*tlist.  Those I've met and enjoyed the company of... and WILL see again in person.  Jerusalem, the only way to stop this living sin is throwing Micky into the infinite space after the Great Gates of Kiev where he may become an endless enigma taking pebbles from the Old Castle.  every day a little sadder, a little madder, someone get me a ladder There you go, Micky.

You see I really have to tell you
That it all gets so intense
From my experience
It just doesn't seem to make sense
Still...you turn me on

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

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

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!
