Don't worry, I'll be back on Monday with the 10th Arena Rock poll, but it's nice to be missed. Hug

Thanks. They may have passed like ships in the night through the British singles charts, but I'll keep them in, especially bearing in mind I have all five of Be Bop Deluxe's albums in a super deluxe box set. Big smile

I wouldn't dispute that. I only included Be Bop Deluxe because they were listed as Glam Rock on Wikipedia. Smile

as as aside I've been listening to recent albums such as Infinite, Whoosh! and the most recent +1. They must have one of the best later discographies of any classic rock era band.
I've since dropped Dio from the Deepest Purple listings and replaced him with Bernie Marsden. Thumbs Up

I'll make an exception for Sparks and Suzi Quatro, seeing as they were both very much part of the British Glam Rock scene. Thumbs Up

Ooh, Melton Mowbray….pies….just sayin’!!!🤤

Melton Mowbray is definitely the place to go for pork pies, but I'd worked up an appetite and bought a pack of eight sausage rolls instead. Smile

Thanks, guys, it is much appreciated. And I apologise for being off-topic here (the topic being Paul's polls).

It would seem incredibly lazy to be critical of and hostile towards topics without actually reading beyond the headline. Disconnect did post in one of those topics (just the one; not a frequent poster) with "would've voted for Wobbler, but they are not on the list....so I guess Robert Wyatt and Weather Report" which indicated to me perhaps an understanding that it was multiple votes at the time but also not really getting the topic, since it's vote for and mention what you like AND mention any other favourites. There is this strange to me air of expectation from some here over the years that what is well-known, or even their favourites that might be obscure, SHOULD be represented, and to some that omission is even somehow insulting. I know Wobbler, by the way, but I prefer my 25 choices and mentioned Wobbler, as well as many others not in the poll in an alternate list in my first post in that topic. Seems I was more duly diligent than the complainant. Before criticising or questioning, at least take the time to try to understand the poll topic by reading the poll question and original post, and try to see if it was addressed in other posts. Maybe a difference with me is that I am more interested in reading the threads and sharing my thoughts than voting. Shorter posts than I tend to make can make that experience more enjoyable. And of course if you are critical and someone responds thoughtfully, it is polite to acknowledge the post and respond back. That may be more ingrained in my upbringing and cultural background.

One thing I wish to mention/ reiterate is that while I did post those polls over only about six weeks, which is very little time for maybe 21 polls, and I sped up with the last few since I wanted it over and done with (I'm too impatient), often polls get lumped together because other people respond to them en masse. I did not obscure new polls by making those. The forums were very slow, I was trying to give it a shot in the arm, and I did respond to other people topics regularly. I would not only pay attention to topics I create. It can help PA too for the search engines to pick up on the key words in one's topics. I want this site to be active and vibrant, and attracting new people and encouraging some others to come out of the woodwork and interact more with the membership. One other thing (I am too verbose, but some not enough imo), I ask that people do me the courtesy of trying to speak to me directly if they find an issue. That would have been much more appreciated by me, and seems more diplomatic, that posting it here in this way. That's why I think I might have offended this user at some time. Surprised me to read here, not even in one of my one topics, and with no attempt to speak to me first. So much nicer to be talked to than talked about.

And if one doesn't like the polls, why not make your own as counterpoint? Or to show how perhaps to do them better. Lead by example.... And variety is the spice of life.

---------------------------------------

Back on topic too as this was not intended to be about my contributions, definitely I do enjoy many of your polls, Paul, and I appreciate that you put so much time and effort into them. Don't let it get in the way of other activities like sleeping, eating, getting out and about, and I would not put too much expectation on yourself even if the fans/ groupies are crying out for more. :)
