   ^To a certain extent, I think. The number of votes should be less than or equal to the number of slots (which allows the troll to give 9 votes to Queen in this thread).
This was my suggestion on the subject back in 2014.

	^Why not implement the option of a fixed number of votes? That would prevent any abuse I guess. Edited by DDPascalDD - January 03 2017 at 02:31
	New album! "A Moment of Thought"

	The Queen votes may be either abuse or caused by someone who does not understand the multiple voting mechanism completely and thinks his vote did not come through. I think that the multiple voting mechanism is prone to improvement and I made a suggestion some two years ago, but there was no reaction: No radio buttons, but check boxes: you click on the check boxes you want to vote for and when these are selected you'll click on the "Cast My Vote" button. There will be far less chance of abuse. Edited by someone_else - January 03 2017 at 02:00

	^ I think it was meant to allow votes to multiple bands, not to allow abuse.

	This poll is a farce. Delete it, and restart it with a single vote per person.

	Sweet, Styx, and Queen. Tramp and Sparks are up there too. All are fun. Sorry to hear Rick Davies of Supertramp is battling the big C, God I hate that disease.

	Voted for ELO twice not because they're particularly artsy but fun and popsy + I love them twice as much as the rest (but they're all alright especially Roxy Music).

	I absolutely LOVE Rick Davies (he is the real Tramp to me, not Hodgson) This poll just prompted me to look up Mr. Tramp to see what he is up to. Unfortunately, I see that Rick is suffering from a very serious cancer. Let's hope for a Rick Davies recovery folks. Edited by Finnforest - January 02 2017 at 14:21

	If by Sparx you actually mean then, maybe them. But I have and enjoy all the classics listed.
	Thank you for supporting independently produced music

	Roxy and ELO are my two favorites on that list, but I have listened to most of them over the years.

	keywords for this poll is that many of these bands utilize many factors which they all in some way shares. they combine the musicstyles found in 60s and 70s in an amalgam sound. the elements is folk rock , psych, glam, baroque pop, funk, disco, rnb, hard rock, heavy metal and prog. they also utelize elements from other art forms, like stage, costumes, drama, poetry, etc. i allow multiple votes, one can like more then one band here Edited by Icarium - January 02 2017 at 14:47
