Very rarely do I simply vote in a Prog Poll here without commenting the reasoning behind my choice. B) This time however I voted "less polls" cuz I think there's a bit of an oversaturation of Paul's Polls here lately.

I don't really like what some people do here that is: just telling what they voted on in the most dry and bland way possible and then adding a completely non-sequitur filler slogan with random words at the end.


I never feel comfortable just posting a word, and so the filler from me could be taken as gibberish at times -- often some might say. As for Ken of the progorycteropodidae, I have a big appreciation for him. I have found that he's a caring person who has much of interest to say, as well as repetitive random rubbish. Many of us are eccentric in our own ways and we should learn to not just adapt ourselves to the crowd but adapt to individuals, in my opinion (this is like some social experiment). Although I would rather those stay in the Just For Fun forum, I accept that people here have their quirks and it does differentiate his posts from others for good or ill. Tact and tolerance is a good thing commonly. I appreciate him despite the poop that aardvarks are wont to leave behind, prog or otherwise.

^ Thanks Mosh and to everyone who's voted so far. It looks like I'm destined to be busy posting polls daily from now on then, if this poll result is anything to go by. Smile

Hi,

No complaints, and I'm glad that Paul does this ... PA really needs one person to do just this ... all day ... it shows an appreciation for music that is very different and rare. When added to Andrea's and DamoX's postings this shows a much wider love and understanding for things, than just  monthly list, or a yearly list, although folks are replying really nicely to a lot of the monthly/new stuff listed, which is neat.

Well done Paul

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

I voted for more polls, it was very much a tongue-in-cheek poll I decided to set up after a few glasses of PG last night😃

I use to like Paul's polls. More or less, it's up to him.

Looking forward to the fusion polls and I'll pay special attention to his two star offerings.

It looks like I'll have to avoid Ornette Coleman's albums then if I'm going to avoid including any two star offerings. Tongue

I could manage maybe 354 polls a year, but 354 polls a day!?? And someone's actually voted for that option too. Tongue

Thanks Cindy. That's good to know. One of the prime reasons we interact here is through the PA polls, so I'll keep them coming, and on that note, Prog Rock Timeline 2014 is coming up tomorrow with another 25 albums to choose from. Thumbs Up
