Same here, I almost feel guilty for having all DT albums in my collection. Today I founded two more polls - they're coming back....

I highly doubt Dream Theater would approve of that.
Dream Theater have become caricatures of themselves. Much as this Dream Theater poll has become a caricature of other Dream Theater polls. Want me to ellaborate? No, I don't want to.

I'm tired of polls about DT polls...
You have to give up... DT is one of the most popular bads out there... We have many new members each week... some of them are DT fans... when you're new, you love to create polls, say, as to see where you're standing compared to other members.... ERGO, some new DT polls will appear every week....
At least DT polls are created by a multitude of members... Now Jethro Tull polls, I'd say every one of the 15768 of them have been created by the SAME member...  (who would that be...  ) |

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!

Maybe if every single thread that so much as mentions DT wasn't filled with DT-fanboy rants like this, we wouldn't mind the DT fanboys so much.

But since genesis seem to be the only prog band that ever excisted in some peoples mind i gues we have to live with it.

RIght on dude! Not enough Tull polls, really!
I recall once I did a poll that went: How much does Close to the Edge suck?
A lot.
A WHOLE lot.
Whole Lotta Suckin'
A little, but I've only heard it once
I use it as a coaster
Wonder what happened to that...?

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.

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!

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

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.

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....  |
