Long Live 2112Big smile
let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

I guess that the coverart of Song for America fits better the music. Big smile

I'm with Rich on this... I really don't feel Rush belong with the other bands in this poll and as their albums progress, I'm sure they are going to dominate future polls, which would be a shame, especially considering you're only giving us one choice of band?

Just my penneth worth...
I was happy to drop Loverboy from the poll earlier, but Rush are here to stay, just like Permanent Waves. Smile

You poll, Paul... your rules... Thumbs Up

I guess that the voting result of this poll reflects what looks to be an extraordinary popularity of Leftoverture on this site. Wink

Yes, it certainly looks that way. I'm guessing most of those eight votes would've gone to Rush if Kansas hadn't been in the poll. Smile

In Blackmore's case, he was definitely following the money trail.

Stylistically, I don't feel like The Who fit well on the whole despite how influential it was on many such bands of the AOR/pop rock/hard rock Arena Rock variety. Not saying it's wrong to include them and I can see why they would be in Arena Rock (as with bands like Led Zeppelin and The Rolling Stones). Rush in the late 80s would fit well, I think. Anyway, it's not a stylistically cohesive list, but cohesive in the sense that it has bands that have played arenas.

I really think you ought to remove Rush from this poll, to make it more even and interesting, Paul..?
