Why? There is a difference though between music that I don't like and music I think it's bad. 

For extreme vocals, there is a singing technique, you may not like the style, but don't mock it. 
In the case of the YES album "Open Your Eyes", I presume that's music you both dislike and you think it's bad too - based on your previous comments - but I'm not going to get upset if you mock it, even though I like the album. Smile


I've never mocked it. Yes, I would call that "bad", from a band I generally like. 
Your remarks on Dimmu Borgir are starting to sound a bit mean spirited.

I think 'Secret Passion' remains my fave of hers... Queen Of Light is also good; I think they've tailed off in quality a bit since although there is some real life personal stuff on Tears about her managing to escape from a physically abusive relationship...

LOL

Not because I necessarily think this is very good approach to some music one dislike, but it's certainly funny, Paul.

LEAVES' EYES: a Viking band led by the haunting siren-song of beautiful Liv Kristine, who has the most striking blue eyes, hence the name, Leaves' Eyes. Smile

When I've listened to all of the albums in this first poll. I'm over halfway there already, so I'll hopefully post Round 2 before the end of March. My New Year's Resolution was to follow Cristi's advice by listening to all of the albums in my polls before moving onto the next round, no matter how long it takes. Sorry to keep you waiting.  Wink

There I go again, name-dropping, which always gets me into trouble with you,  but at least you can no longer say I ignore your advice. Tongue

Okay, I'll accept I was following your implication and not your advice - for the sake of argument. Big smile

It's not even an implication, I probably asked you if you listened to or know the albums in your polls, which now I know you do not.

But you do know now that I fully intend to listen to all of the albums in this poll and all subsequent polls. I may even return to my series of Modern Prog polls and listen to all of the albums featured there too, given enough time. Smile
