I just bought ELP's debut album on CD again this week, and it sounds a lot better the second time around. I gave my original copy away years ago, and then wished I hadn't. Smile
 
The Top 4 are so far ahead in the poll now that I doubt if ELP is going to make any more headway in the Top 10, but it's good to see them at #5 now after getting off to a slow start. Smile
 
Rush was another slow burner in the poll, but they were in no rush and they're now up there with the leaders. Smile

They're not doing too bad. Van der Graaf Generator are currently on 41 points, so they're just bubbling under. I'm surprised that Henry Cow currently have more points than VDGG though. They just need a small spark of energy (and points) to make their way into the Top 10.  Smile

I am as well, but then they are a bit Marmite to a lot of people.

Van der Graaf Generator are a Marmite band for me too. I bought their second and third 1970 albums after they were recommended to me here, but there's not much else that appeals to me about VDGG.  Their acclaimed "Pawn Hearts" album is almost unlistenable to my ears. Confused

Well, it's important to me, even if it's important to no one else. Tongue The points from my Top 5 polls all divide  into the number 12 and the points from my Top 7 polls all divide  into the number 24.

Because I'm obsessed with lists and numbers. You may have noticed. Wink

I haven't posted my list yet. Van der Graaf Generator will get an extra 30 points when I do.
 
 
No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

Looking through the lists so far, no one has placed Van der Graaf Generator at the top of their list.

Then you'll be the one to give Van der Graaf Generator that much-needed spark of energy and power them up into the Top 10. Smile
