Random Shuffle Run-off Jan. and Feb. 2021 - Progressive Rock Music Forum

Gotta go with Riverside, but Camel is a shave-close second.

Riverside.

This message was brought to you by a proud supporter of the Deep State.

First Light by Camel.

First Light - Camel

Friedrich Nietzsche: "Without music, life would be a mistake."

Music Is Live

Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed.

Keep Calm And Listen To The Music…

Camel, even though it's the only song I know in the poll. Embarrassed

Banco by a loooooooooong way!

I wonder how many of the Camel voters have heard the Banco track? Not that I’m suggesting that is why they’ve voted for Camel, and not Banco. Just that if if someone likes one, there’s a reasonable chance they may well like the other two. Polls like this are a great way of exploring music, but as some people make clear by the response they post, they vote for what they know, without giving a chance to that which they do not. (No judgement here, as everybody chooses to listen to and explore music in their own way, and the only “right” way is the one that works best for you!)

Banco is great.

Still voted for Camel. I love classic Camel more. Smile

Oh, I was not directing that at you. Don’t worry! There are people I know are aware of all the options, or who listen to them if they are not. It’s those who just come to any poll, look at the options, dismiss all they’re not familiar with, and give the vote to one of only a couple they know.

I love Camel, but I love Banco more! 😄

"...exploring music" is a big part of why post these polls (and listen randomly myself). I think you're right that people tend to vote for what they know--I don't necessarily have a problem with that; people are free to vote for whatever's there.

BUT, early last year, I reduced the number of choices to 5 (from 10) and started posting audio/video for all choices so that people at least have the chance to listen if they haven't heard a track--a situation that is bound to happen due to the nature of the poll: anything in a shuffle can come up (bound only by what's in my collection). And, (dark admission) Shocked

, a couple of times tracks came up in the shuffle(s) that I dis-included because I couldn't find an online source. I usually just skipped to the next track.
