I don't know - do you actually know the tracks?

I listened to Diamond Head ages ago ...

Pathetic.

Oh sorry, I forgot that you make the rules.

 

*Sigh*

No - it's pathetic to pass such an affirmative judgement on music you haven't actually listened to by a band you haven't heard for several years.

Not evil.

Pathetic.

But that doesn't fit the tune....

There you go again, manipulating and stretching my statement so that it fits into your concept. Well, why do you start these ridiculous discussions anyway? And why does your poll only allow for extreme opinions - where is the option "They're somewhat progressive, but not enough to be added"?

I'm taking all the "Iron Maiden" votes as "Don't Knows", and the "No" vote as a "Don't Know", since there are no arguments against yet.

Given that ignoring the "Don't Knows" and "Can't be bothereds" will leave only positive votes, I'll add them next Tuesday, because actually, I DO make the rules.

 

I trust you will add them as Prog Related or Proto Prog ...

What's so ridiculous about this discussion? It's about a band that may or may not be prog related - is that so strange on a Prog Rock forum?

Ahem  Phantom of the opera and genghis khan has certainly progressive elements. And maiden could have released these tracks earlier in the 70's had it not been for the uprise of punk

There is nothing strange about the idea to discuss Diamond Head. It IS strange to combine the only option which agrees that they're somewhat progressive with the agreement that they should be added to the archives.

I will say ... as a relatively disinterested party  ... that I do think basing their addition on this particular poll seems unjustified to me ...

"Death to Utopia! Death to faith! Death to love! Death to hope?" thunders the 20th century. "Surrender, you pathetic dreamer.”

"No" replies the unhumbled optimist "You are only the present."

It's obivious to me that the poll was just intended as an announcement of their addition ... frankly, I think that polls are generally not suited to decide whether bands are added or not, because you can never be sure if those who vote really know the music.

Sheesh!

It's not a contract.

It's a fun poll, that is clearly intended to provoke some discussion about the band and the MUSIC, not fanny around moaning about the way the poll is constructed.

And I'm not really going to add any band without going through the proper channels, as ANY collaborator should know.

That was a ruse to get a reaction from the negative voters, who seem to have nothing to say to back their choices up, despite the fact it says "No, Because..."

Any comments ABOUT THE MUSIC?

Or is that too difficult?
