Now we are having fun, more Camel.

Guess what? He's not really dead. But he is angry!

If someone is not interested in playing this game, I don't think anyone will force them to do so. Ignore it, and let others have their fun.   Some people "have fun" pouring gasoline on vagrants and then setting them ablaze; your definition of "fun" is not universal.   But yes, I will ignore the poll.

I am unable to have fun, it has plagued me my entire life. It was suggested maybe a nice music competition would do the trick but alas it was not to be.

yeah... we could have gone a step further than we did and gone with 2nd or 3rd best  from some of the 2nd tier bands to level the field even more but as I noted above. Really.. it isn't like I could remove ALL the hugely popular albums   Doing the big heavies as I call them did enough to keep the emphasis on the two main points I wanted to stress..a) have fun damnit and b) giving great but lesser acclaimed albums some light and perhaps expose to those that haven't heard them. 

As I noted in the collab zone, I really had zero interest to spend the months these contests will take, of my time, just to end up with yet another CTTE v. Foxtrot v. Red v. TAAB series of polls at the end. Yawn.

^ It's all in the name of fun. I don't understand the problem.

no doubt man. There are some brutal matchups.

for me .. the group of death is this one.

Tio Bitar - Dungen

Detta Har Hant  - Gosta Berling Saga
v.
s/t (2009) - Animals As Leaders
v.
Nothingface (1989) - Voivod

with the winner of that group having Radiohead Kid A waiting for them

I voted on a few, got the general gist and will ignore it henceforth. Too bad, it could have been a lot fairer.

fair?  Nah.. who cares about that.  Tull fan doesn't need this to know TAAB will get to the last rounds, nor Yes fan with CTTE, nor KC fan with Red, nor Genesis fan with any Gabriel release.

we have a 1000 polls for those. I didn't care about fair,  this never was 'top' PA's album. We have nice chart on the front page for that brother.  I was looking not for fair.. but fun. Of course it is skewed..

that was the point..  as well as highlighting albums other than the ... same old sh*t man.
