Come on Paul, it’s Sunday, where’s our poll?!!!😃

I was the only PA member online in the entire world earlier today, so I wasn't sure if there'd be anyone around to take part in another poll. How about a Hawkwind poll? Smile

How about a series of Total Hawkwind polls? Smile

First vote for "No more polls." Aren't his polls overflowing this subforum? From my standpoint, he ought to stop posting them temporarily.

Thanks. Does that mean I can take a break from polling for the rest of the month? Tongue

Man, that's 26 days - I couldn't really imagine that. Big smile

And besides which, I don't know who else would step in to take up the polling mantle if I took the rest of the month off. Tongue

If it wasn't for Pauls Polls I probably wouldn't bother posting on this forum.

Paul keeps the traffic flowing on the forum, puts lots of work into his polls and deserves a massive round of applause. Clap

Thanks Trevor. Your cheque's in the post. Tongue

I'll keep the polls coming, starting with the fifth Total YES poll coming up tomorrow, And You & I already know who's going to win that one. It's not even Close. Smile

If I managed two polls a day would that make me StereoPauly? Tongue

Of course I'm not saying you should, and I may be repeating myself (if so, blame the brain and my laziness not looking back through the thread) but I'd like to see some polls or a poll from you (could be a one or two off) where you cover one album by artist/band just focusing on your favourite acts and a particular favourite album from each act. Maybe favourite or two albums from each of your poll series and or blogs as you have done quite a few and that could be super eclectic.

By the way, it's a rare member who might get a topic like this done about them and such favourable response in the votes (one commonly gets a few negative nancies no matter what the topic even if they have no opinion in my experience). That's a lot of appreciation. Thumbs Up

Thanks Greg! I've already done several of those kind of polls you suggested with favourite artists and albums lifted from my blogs, including Symphonic Prog Britannia, Neo Prog Britannia and coming up next year, Prog Folk Britannia. Thumbs Up

I would have wanted to include Wire, amongst others. 154 being one of my favourite albums.

By the way, I know David Byrne was born in Scotland and then moved to the US (as a child of 8 or 9) -- I always thought of Talking Heads as a US band, founded in New York.

That's good to know. I can replace Talking Heads with Comsat Angels who Octopus II suggested to me earlier. Thumbs Up

I'm not familiar with the music of Wire at all though. Confused

^ A great list!

The only suggestion I would have for any additions is 'The Comsat Angels'. Smile

Great Suggestion! Comsat Angels are now on the list too, which makes 32 Post Punk bands in total, which I have to somehow Squeeze down to 25 poll options. Smile
