Well you tell him to keep his wee chin up. Everyone else seems to realise that whatshisname is a complete and utter knobhead who seemingly takes great delight in buggering up sundry threads.

Reality is that if those of us who have thoroughly enjoyed this poll nonsense, lose interest through the actions of a total t**ser then who wins ? It was always a bit of harmless fun and we got, well at least I did anyway, to hear a bunch of stuff that we might not otherwise have heard. Hell it may not be the greatest of all modern prog albums but I'll accept that just for the joy of now having Eden in my collection and getting to pour a certain amount of the smelly stuff on the Legend of St Van, Generator de Graf.

The way I see it is that this was a competition, not to find the best ever Classic and the best ever Modern but to find the best or at least the most appreciated out of a certain collection. I mean FFS, if it was a "best of" we all know that it would have come down to a battle of the usual suspects and then Mickey would have had to have a major sulk after Selling England won.

This way its only a minor sulk over a silly dick.

So arise young Michael. Back into the saddle and put this bloody schemozzle to bed.

(I am available for inspirational speaking engagements .... .... very available. In fact more available than not. )

I think Micky is going to leave the polls open until the end of the week. Unfortunately, he was not very impressed by the way the Moderns poll was derailed, and lost interest after that.

Micky, when do the polls close?

Damn, both finals in a draw and I don't know what to vote for either...

P.S. Is there anywhere, Micky, that we can actually see a printed out draw--like they do for tennis tournaments or the NCAA Bastketball tourney?

Ignorance is bliss, they say 

I hear ya man.  Vocals are another instrument, for me, not much more.
