WHAT?!?! Dan isn't up there? He's a huge STC fanboy!!! Yes, I can find a way to bring STC into every single new thread. But of those, probably whistlurrr even though he is the main force that drives our opposition, the Booby l00bz. |

That's your classic one. And the most menacing.... BTW, I could somewhat be considered a Pat Metheny fanboy...  But not to the extreme, like Whistlurrr. |

| I have to go with the Whistler; he makes fanboyism an art (and he's very funny to boot... especially when I've got my spurs on). |

I'm pleased you've spotted Mr Riviere's penchant for two-track fanboyism...he gets my vote by a country mile....
the amount of
 threads he starts on either Rush's time in a recording studio or Steven Wilson's daily bowel movements, you'd think that no other prog bands exitsted...........  ------------- Music has always been a matter of energy to me.

My vote goes for Tony R because he is fighting for the cause that is near and dear to my fanboyism.
As for Mr. The T, he is definitely a qualified member of the Dream Theater fanboy A Team. Also, a good cause IMHO.
As for The Whistler, you can always count on him to add his two flutes to any discussion. And he is definitely the biggest Tull fan that I have seen on these forums; Barre none.

^ Dunno, he is losing after all, and I strongly suspect that he knew that he'd be the underdog (loser!) when coming up with this poll, which would be reason enough for me to change my vote if I could. What I like about The T is that even though he deliberately makes a show of being self-centred/ egotistical, he does have a self-deprecatory sense of humour. I don't think he really takes himself that seriously (and doesn't mind a bit of ridicule, in fact he incites it), and that's one of the qualities I most respect in people.  |

| Ah, you beat me to it The T by a minute. And Evans got in before me too as I was typing (damn my slowness). Tookk me too long before I responded (my last post, obviously, refers to Erik's post, but I don't feel like editing it). |

The T is special, no doubt, that's why he always succeeds to get reactions
and he knows how to push the right buttons for a vivid discussion!

I don't think I've ever known a fanboy more fanboy-ian than Whist. It's pathetic, but at least he's funny about it. Some fanboys (the DT ones in particular, it seems) just get annoying, but Whistler manages to not do that.

Now please don't exaggerate... Not EVERY poll...
(there are some serious, musical ones )Isn't it curious that none of the other contestants dares to show their faces here, even though they are sweeping the floor with The ImparTial One? I guess they're covering under some rocks, their pride hurt and trying to cope with the fact that they've been called fanboys by... everybody....
Yeah, I vote for The Whistler too... The guy really loves Ian Anderson's flute in a special way....

 besides, if you are to be the site's resident fanboy, then courtesy of his years, Tony R has to be the fanman....
