I'm sick of polls like Yes vs Genesis or Pink Floyd vs Led Zeppelin, because in most cases people tend to compare apples and oranges - and there was an apple vs oranges-poll, so don't comment on that, please. What's your opinion?

Should exist...a comparison between bands it's good...yet you DO have a point in saying that too much is too much...

I like this kind of poll. When it's not much absurd (like 'Cheese or Dream Theater?'), it's kind of informative.
And above all, is punk

There is to much of them and what is the point in comparing two bands any way if i did a iron maiden vs yes poll yes would win although iron maiden is a 1000 times better...it is always kind of obvious wich band will win...

For me they´re not primarily informative, but just for fun. Just like the Rate My Albums fashion, a few months ago.

Maybe the vs. polls should be posted in the Just for fun section. I like them, personally. They´re just chats, like people do, sitting in the cafe, drinking a beer or two. Provided that everyone should take care of his or her own beer  .

Not to be taken too seriously. PA is a broad forum. There are serious discussions and chit chats. The versus polls are in section nr. 2. If you don´t like them, just ignore them.

But it's possible to take a more constructive approach - if Dream Theater was a cheese, which cheese would they be?

I think they'd be Dairylea cheese triangles.

OK, just stop.

Cheese is Avant Guarde/RIO and comparing them to DT is like comparing apples to DT.

No way. Avant-Garde/RIO is great. I would rank it as Spaghetti. DT is good also. I would rank it as Gnochi.

Is this some kind of cryptic hint? Should we be worried?

Arguing on the internet is a lot like the special olympics - even if you win, you're still retarded.

We moved the polls to a separate area of the forum in the last update. Imagine what it would be like if all these were still appearing on first page!Confused
