Don't know Univers Zero, plus I'm not keen on Post Rock so Zappa gets my vote.Approve

Put in that in bold with a seven size font at the top of the page and it might help. But probably not. Tongue

Exactly my thoughts, I am very surprised UZ managed to get over 30 votes and remain in the trail of Zappa for so long. I expected the UZ votes to stop after 12, when all the Shredders voted. LOL At that time Zappa had only half of that number.


Of course the Shredders don't have a monopoly on "good taste" (yes,a subjective notion, but I like the term as it has a bit of a kick). I kind of imagined quite a few wouldn't vote because they don't feel that they are sufficiently familar with Univers Zero -- if at all. Oh hell, how often does that stop people? (well some are very conscientious about that, but they are the minority).

FZ.

I wish that he was still with us. Always creating new boundaries to be explored and broken.

I like the fact this is a close one. I expected Zappa to utterly slaughter here.
