Sorry Jared. The last time I ran a poll where multiple voting was enabled, it turned out to be an absolute disaster. Ouch

Why Because the results weren’t what you wanted to see?

While multiple vote polls are obviously more open to abuse, I suspect (based on those I’ve seen) that instances of that abuse are greatly exaggerated. They tend to be obvious, also, when they occur, so it’s easy to disregard them.

No, because 30 people voted for John Bonham in my Best Drummers poll, although I strongly  suspect it was one Led Zeppelin fan voting 30 times. Tongue

Strangely, 3 Ships was the most listened to Jon Anderson album on my Prog Britannia channel with over 3000 views, although I've no idea why, when almost any other Jon Anderson album is much better than 3 Ships. Confused

Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson

I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

Kate and KC (one of their best, yes, screw the haters, I love BEAT) could get my vote, but I'll toss it to ALLAN. The Grump and I will remain the sole defenders of his solo output (Metheny Group also deserves a nod).

This is a better year for me than the previous, and like 1980, I could have voted for about half of them. The nod goes to Mike Oldfield this time, presenting the best balance between the pop that a certain cloth-eared media mogul wanted and the kind of instrumentals MO is best known for.
The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty"

Five Miles Out, but I do like Time to Turn and Avalon, though not generally a Roxy Music fan.

^this
Nat Health are excellent and that KC lp is their worst imho.

But not good enough for anyone to vote for it. Wink

Avalon, just to break the monotony.

Thanks for reminding me about Tangerine Dream, but at least I didn't forget about Jon Lord. Wink

I've now replaced Uriah Heep's abominable Abomnog album with TD's far superior White Eagle album. Thumbs Up
