Also, could somebody post some Gavin Harrison performance videos? I've heard some Porcupine Tree but the drumming struck me as unspectacular.

Whether you count the vote or not is completely irrelevant and I couldn't give a damn either way. As I am the only person who has picked him it will count for nothing anyway.
 
 
On a lighter note - I'm a bloody Admin, not some "guy" and you do not tell me what to do. Tongue

I kind of shuffle "proto prog" into "prog related" in my brain-they're both not TECHNICALLY strictly prog and it just makes things easier for me, personally if I don't have to go through and decide which pr/pp drummer is "real prog"and which aren't. And also I mean that the ENTIRE vote won't be counted, all ten, since once again it just makes things harder for me if I have to reshuffle my brain for math purposes. 

The rules are the rules, by God! Angry
Fair enough - scratch my votes.
What?

Ah, Zack Hill is a great choice, he'd have been in my list for sure if my brain had registered him as a prog drummer Dead

And Nathan, as long as the band/guy you mentioned appears on PA under something that isn't Prog Related it's valid.

No I couldn't possibly do that. I'm more than happy to stick to my principles and boycott your poll.

^I would have voted for Ian Paice if I were allowed by the OP, he's one of my faves. But now that you let me, I think I'll change my list. Tongue

How about this: In order to satisfy everyone, I'll have a similar contest specifically for Proto-Prog/Prog Related drummers, and then the winner of that one can face whoever wins the Prog Drummers Tournament. 

This was another thing I was wondering: Do you think it would be better, once all the votes were tallied, if this was done tournament style or if they were all voted on in one big batch?

Why bother - tally the votes, whoever has the most wins - end of. Voting twice is pointless.

I guess if by bitchslap you mean flippantly nonsensical remark, as the word "Nominations" is right in the title of the thread.

That should do, though the order past my top 4 (the one with 10 is our "best", right?) is pretty variable.  Even those four are. LOL
