Gandalf was such a lovable character, no wonder Camel wrote a song about him.

Sad they didn't write a piece about Magneto...but note that I'm asking about Ian McKellen's performances as the characters.

I know that, but that is the thing, his performance gave life to that character.

I'm kind of partial to Ian as Anderson, but I had to go with Ian Gandalf.
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

How could people make that mistake?  The title doesn't say "Dumb Ian or Ugly Ian."

I suppose I shouldn't have taken a jab at you...you can edit my artist page and make me really look bad.  Disapprove LOL

I thought we were comparing Ian Anderson to Ian Macdonald, or something.  Anyways, I pick Gandalf.

Before I found Ian's site I used to tie my shoelaces with a granny knot. Now that I've learned the proper two loop shoelace knot,  my life has greatly improved. I don't need to worry about my shoelaces coming undone when I talk to a group of attractive & relatively wealthy red-haired pianists. Thank you, Ian, for making my life almost worth living! Smile

Is this the proper way to tie shoelaces?! I learned that early on then was converted to the loop, swoop and pull method because apparently the bunny ears weren't sophisticated enough. Damn you peer pressure.

As for the poll I voted Gandalf. Gandalf is cool. While Magneto is also cool, he has the unfortunate luck to work opposite of Patrick Stewart who makes everyone look like the least cool person by comparison.
Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal.

There are plenty of "proper" ways to tie shoelaces, the Ian Knot (allegedly) being the fastest.

I voted Gandalf too.
