Guilty pop pleasure absolutely. And I still consider Colour by Numbers a great album, don't care what anyone says.

Slits and Warpaint over all of these (I know). I love case/lang/veirs even more, but they use men. (Booh!)
Do more bands ladies, the overall number is still embarassing!

I see your explanation why Heart was included, but they're no more a "female" band than Fleetwood Mac are, so I'm pretending they're not here.  LOL

Haa! Mystery solved. Thanks Logan. I've been wondering who it was ever since I saw that picture. I don't think Sean Connery will ever live it down and I expect he feels embarrassed now to be reminded of that movie. I've actually seen Zardoz years ago but I don't remember seeing Sean Connery dressed in that outrageous outfit in the movie.
He looks like a reject from the Village People. Tongue

Thanks for moving my poll over here. Thumbs Up 
 
I noticed Psychedelic Rock is listed as a Prog-Rock sub-genre on Prog Archives, so at least I posted my second Psychedelic Rock poll in the right place. Smile


Only if the majority of those bands are found in the Archives under a Prog category (a prog Rock focus as used in PA). It's not just about psychedelic rock, but acts deemed psychedelic progressive rock. That said, I have moved a little outside of the PA box when making Prog polls by including ones in a longer list not in PA if I felt they fit (technically, all options in prog polls should be included in Prog categories in PA).
 
I'm still mystified as to who that half-naked man is holding the gun in your new avatar image. Even Freddie Mercury wouldn't have dressed that outrageously. Tongue



His name is Bond, James Bond.

Actually, it's Sean Connery from the John Boorman film Zardoz (1974)-- more correctly, I should say, it was a publicity still for the film. It's an avatar I used for a long time before, and has been something of a favourite of posters around here. ;) That and my old Nigel Tufnel one. It's a much derided film that I love, but do use the avatar for humour value.





"You have been raised up from Brutality, to kill the Brutals who multiply, and are legion. To this end, Zardoz, your God, gave you the gift of the Gun. The Gun is good. The Penis is evil. The Penis shoots seeds, and makes new life to poison the Earth with a plague of men, as once it was. But the Gun shoots death and purifies the Earth of the filth of Brutals. Go forth, and kill! Zardoz has spoken!" (Zardoz).

At the forum I belonged to before this one, I was sometimes called the Zardoz guy as it's a film I could go on and on about. It commonly makes worst lists, and people say "What the hell was Sean Connery thinking?", but I really enjoy it, and think it much better than its reputation despite any ridiculousness (partially because of it). The final scenes genuinely move me.

Not only that but with multiple votes allowed, there is no indication that one has voted. So if after some time has passed one forgets that they have voted, then upon seeing the "Cast My Vote" button, may vote for the same choice multiple times.
 
 
 
 
 
No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

Logan mentioned to me that multiple voting might be abused by some members voting for several bands at a time, so I prefer to keep my polls to just one vote each, otherwise you might have some PA members voting for half a dozen bands and another member voting for just one band. It seems fairer to me this way with one person, one vote, just like politics. Wink

That's another band I'd missed and I just discovered they've been around since 1977!


Yeah, I was quite a fan back in the day. I loved their raw edge. I fancied the drummer too!

Like Tapfret, OOIOO would get my vote if included. There are oo many female Japanese rock bands, also Angel'in Heavy Syrup is worth mentioning. And Ars Nova is a popular one around these parts.

As to my vote with the given choices, I honestly love The Shagg's Philosophy of the World. Sometimes bad can be so good.

I was going to call my poll "All-Female Rock Bands" originally, but then decided to change it to "Female Rock Bands", just so I could include Heart in the poll, who might just go on to win it. Smile
Ah, you could have put Fleetwood Mac in then and they would have won.
 
I would have voted for Fleetwood Mac too. Smile
