What he said. I may joke about bashing them, but the truth is, I find that some people are absolutely obsessed with them. They sure can play, but they are not the only ones on earth who are technically proficient.

Isn't it ironic that this in and of itself is a DT based poll? Anyways, I'm getting sick of the polls as well, and they're like my favorite band, whom I surprisingly don't listen to for technical virtuosity And as far as the Symphonic Team, I don't care, go ahead, bash away, its funny as hell! everyone's entitled to their opinion. However, when serious, angry debates erupt between people ignited by needless polls, it just pisses me off. There's enough fighting in this world, we don't need more

I don't understand why people who are sick of DT polls waste their time on participating on an obvious DT poll as this poll obviouly is.
As you can understand i am not sick of polls about DT else I wouldn't reply to this poll |
Hoorah for hilarity!

Actually, I'm sick of just about all musical polls here, especially any with the words "VS," "best" or "worst" in them.
They're the worst.
If you have nothing to say, post a poll....

I RARELY look at the music polls any more.
Just constantly re-post the first few pages of the section every month or so -- no one will ever notice....

The problem with most polls is that they are inevitable meaningless.
ussualy it's comparing apples with strawberries, oranges, lemons and lions.
too many choices, which share no common ground.
not always it's the poll that makes it meaningless, it's the participants that stray away from the topic subject rendering the poll meaningless. When the poll's subject is which DT album is the best, why should people not liking DT participate in such a poll
since they don't like DT who cares about their opinion regarding DT's bets album.
Let people who like DT use such a poll for what it is for, helping people not knowing the band make a good choice in what album they should start listening too in order to helpo them decide whether they like the band or not.
anyway something like that.

Is it just me or are the poll choices a little biased?

I rush home from work every night 'cause I can't wait to read all the DT polls and find out if they beat Rhapsody, or Nightwish, or Triumph or something. It's the highlight of my day.
Please don't take my DT polls away!

You should have to do that for reviving one of these DT polls.
That should be the mandatory punishment for an offense such as this.

My goodness, I've never understood why people bash on DT so much. Yes they are polled on way too much. And polling on the being polled on is kind of a different step. But while everyone bashes on DT, whom I love, why don't we spend time and bash on other bands. I know I'll get killed for this, or at least verbally abused, but what about Yes? Let's bash on Yes! Post millions and millions of polls and say how crappy they are when they sold out at a certain point and lost all abilities to make a good album. Oh but wait, 99.9 percent of the people on this site love Yes, so that would just be suicide. While DT hasn't sold out yet, sure they've fallen into a groove, but they've still got variety at the least, Don't get me wrong though, I do enjoy Yes, I love Close to the Edge and some of their other works, but it bugs me how a capable band that puts out good music and hasn't died and is still going strong in 20 years of history is so bashed on, while other bands that did die out aren't being bashed on. Unless I'm looking in the wrong places, I noticed everyone here is Yes/Genesis/Pink Floyd/Rush/King Crimson, and no one else!
