Unless I'm looking in the wrong places, I noticed everyone here is Yes/Genesis/Pink Floyd/Rush/King Crimson, and no one else!

RIght on dude! Not enough Tull polls, really!
I recall once I did a poll that went: How much does Close to the Edge suck?
A lot.
A WHOLE lot.
Whole Lotta Suckin'
A little, but I've only heard it once
I use it as a coaster
Wonder what happened to that...?

I love voting for the same stuff all the time, why whuld i come to this site otherwise? but DT polls are not the problem its all thos boring genesis fanboys makeing the same sucky genesis polls every week. But since genesis seem to be the only prog band that ever excisted in some peoples mind i gues we have to live with it.

Maybe if every single thread that so much as mentions DT wasn't filled with DT-fanboy rants like this, we wouldn't mind the DT fanboys so much.

I'm tired of polls about DT polls...
You have to give up... DT is one of the most popular bads out there... We have many new members each week... some of them are DT fans... when you're new, you love to create polls, say, as to see where you're standing compared to other members.... ERGO, some new DT polls will appear every week....
At least DT polls are created by a multitude of members... Now Jethro Tull polls, I'd say every one of the 15768 of them have been created by the SAME member...  (who would that be...  ) |

Bring 'em on!
And, BTW, I want to stab someone's eye out with a pitchfork.

I highly doubt Dream Theater would approve of that.
Dream Theater have become caricatures of themselves. Much as this Dream Theater poll has become a caricature of other Dream Theater polls. Want me to ellaborate? No, I don't want to.

Same here, I almost feel guilty for having all DT albums in my collection. Today I founded two more polls - they're coming back....
