I second that. Clap

The Interactive polls have stopped.

I hope they have temporarily stopped.

I am just still too busy to devote the kind of time I like to when joining in on these. May be so for many, this time of year, especially.

Girls and boys, does anyone want to open the next poll?

One reason may simply also be that many have exhausted their list of non-prog artists that are at the same time great and unknown enough that they'd like to present them here, and don't want to nominate their same favourites again and again.

Yes, I've pretty much decided to give up contributing to interactive polls with the non-PA rule imposed. I find this rule especially problematic when combined with some other restriction, for example, that it contains organ, which is fairly uncommon in non-prog, although I actually could have supplied two tracks.

But this time the rules are:

- 2 prog or non-prog songs live! Maximum 10 minutes

- 1 non-prog song lasting less than 15 minutes

Come on, join us!

that's true as well.

Cristi! Are you coming back with us?

If for the other forumists choosing 3 live songs (about 20 minutes in total) is not too many, I confirm the updated rules.

If three songs are too many, I go back to my initial idea (without the two-steps vote): 2 non-prog live songs for a total of 10 minutes.

If I find some great live songs, maybe, if not, then just lurking I guess.

Give the guy a break LOL

^ 2 short songs and 1 longer song (3 in total)? But I want to have the opportunity to submit only 1 longer song instead of 2 short ones because that is easier to find and it is less time-consuming. Now you want us to do double the work? You don't make sense.

In my experience, there is almost everything on youtube. If you have a song you like, you will almost certainly find it live on youtube.

So, I feel like I've proposed one of the polls where it's easier to find songs:

- There is no theme

- There is no geographic or temporal indication

- There is no genre, you can choose songs of any kind! I intentionally extended short songs to prog (which aren't so short: up to 5 minutes! Consider that in the past mathman did a poll for non-prog songs under 3 minutes long!) Only for the long song I asked to choose it from non-prog songs.

So frankly, I feel like I really gave a wide range of choices. And you don't have to submit all the songs today, you have time all week.

But if you can't find the songs under 5 minutes long (I hope not!), then you can participate with the non - prog long song.

It seems strange to me not to find prog or non-prog songs performed in concert that are less than 5 minutes long (I have even extended the possibility to a fairly long one and a short one--even a 7-minute one is fine! as long as the other is 3-4 minutes long--do you only know of live songs longer than 10 minutes? I don't think so...)

Now, this is total confusion, Lorenzo! I have only today to find a song and I have no idea what this new concept is about . .

Mila, why the confusion?

We have to choose three songs:

1) Two live songs of any kind, even prog, that don't last long, maximum 10 minutes in total (if it's 11 minutes that's fine too, I'm not fussy)

2) One non-prog live song lasting less than 15 minutes.

Why do you say you only have time today? There is no deadline, as you come up with these songs you will enter them, we certainly have up to 7-10 days to find them.
