You forgot about "Maybe", "Not Sure", "Possibly" and the pre-73 giant "Whatthehell"

I wanted to keep things simple. Any more and I would have just been clouding the issue.

I voted NO.
There is no way I could ever have voted Yes, and I think anyone that does is misguided, missing the point, and not a true prog fan....
What was the question, again..?

I've heard of Yes, but No? Is that a Rick Wakeman solo project?

A truly progressive poll is not complete without the aforementioned.

No is the negative response people will give you if you ask them 'Do you like prog rock?'
You may get the same response from people if you ask 'Do you even know what prog rock is?'
The NO movement started in the mid '70s, and was nurtured by music journos whose job it was to destroy prog rock. They buddied up with punks and Soul stars alike and were believed to be instrumental in founding the underground Disco scene. Many worked for the CIA, and for MI5, and were hell bent on destroying any aspect of musical, artistic or literary culture that made people think about the world around them in any depth at all. So prog was out. Phil Collins was believed to be a spy for the NO movement. Steve Hackett made this allegation in 1977, but had threatening punk promos posted to him, in a bid to shut him up. It worked. He never spoke again, and had to get his twin brother to appear live on his behalf. To this day no one ever suspected a thing.
No runs very deep, and is at the heart of anything that is not Yes..

So Blacksword, you're one of THEM, too. You voted "No", didn't you? You and someone else.
Quisling!
That's it, I'm taking over. Subversive, reactionary, non-prog elements will be eradicated. The next poll will be about getting rid of you two from the forum.

I voted No, yes. But, old habits die hard. I am a reformed character, I spent years in a proggless wilderness, experimenting with all manner of house, techno and on bad days, even soul. I knew I was being watched by them..
But at the end of the 90's I fought back, changed my identity and went back to prog. Where my heart truly is. I meant to vote Yes, but please....give me time.
