Trollin' Polls Vol. 1: Dream Theater vs. Magma

Ivan_Melgar_M wrote: No Anthony, phrases like 1.- Man, this is even pissing me off, and I'm the one who started the poll.  I started this poll just to see the massive avant-snobbery of the people here, and oh my god is it working 2.- I knew that Magma would win this, because I know the people who regularly post on these forums. I don't mind them winning, because the music that they make is incredible. The problem that I have with DT haters is that they for some reason take pride in the fact that they don't like the band, which is the very definition of snobbery.  3.- Not as much I can say for Magma fans who apparently value long, female-repellent beards over a good tune. 4.- It does, however make me laugh how all the 'die hard' prog fans love Zeuhl. If it didn't exist, some other hocus pocus genre would be dredged up from the depths just so that they could have something to listen to while sneering down their noses at the 'unwashed masses' who listen to the likes of Dream Theater - 'euugh'. 5.- I must say I have steered clear of Zeuhl for as long as I could, and apparently for good reason. It sounds just as pretentious, discordant and up its own a** as I suspected 6.- they decided to exclude them from their beloved genre and hunt down every DT forum topic just to spew abuse at the band that dared to connect prog with (i hesitate to use this word on PA in case several fat, sweaty middle aged men hunt me down) ... m-a-i-n-s-t-r-e-a-m... Are provoking...You wanted a trolling thread and because nobody fell in the game, you started to provoke people. You get what you ask for Iván

Many of those statements you complied were either half-joking or completely non-serious.

DT are at no 35 in the best Prog albums of all time, and your trying to argue that they're 'rubbish' Never said they are rubbish, I don't use that word to describe bands, on the other hand, worst words have been used to describe Magma 3. Where exactly is Magma on that list? Only 2 albums in the top 100 being N° 64 their best...But there are 154 threads about Magma in the history of Prog Archives (6 years) 3. We never said that Genesis were worse than Dream Theater I don't know where you got this, I only use Genesis to compare the threads about the most popular band here with Dream Theater Engage brain before speaking my friend I talk with evidence, I support everything I say with data, and I always use my brain.

lolwut

If you can read my mind, you were probably shocked and horrified. And maybe a little bit aroused.

Okay, I fear this thread has rather overstepped the line of decency and PCness. I'm considering hiding some comments. No personal attacks allowed and using the gay card, even when softened with the straight card, is best avoided generally (even if in jest).

This may be a trolling thread, but keep it clean and fun.

Btw, McProgger, please change the sig link description as swearing (even when asterisked out) is discouraged. EDIT: Changed it for you as you went offline.
