make sure you 'post' your votes if they don't record .. if I don't know about them I can't count them. |

^ That's not what I meant: there were so much albums I didn't know, that I only had time to listen to the ones on the first six polls

ahhh... I got it. Ehhh... just keep a chugging along. Seriously though.. who really cares about the modern results.. it is the classic contest we care about . The important thing with the moderns is the voyage not the destination.

In other words: it's supposed to be fun and adventurous.
Which it is! Whoa, who is flooding the poll section again with new polls? Glad I'm only hyperreactive to some pollen, not to polls

Yeah, you're both right. I discovered lots of great music, even from sub-genres I don't usually listen

I read in this tread something about Sanguine Hum. If you are interested to listen to the full album, you can hear it in the night from Saturday to Sunday 1:00 - 2:30 am UTC on my stream.

yeah... many of us. most of us know pretty much all or close to all of the classics and damnit.. you do get attached to them. Sentimental, nostalgia whatever. Obviously more people know more of them so the classic poll voting is far more interesting, and involved. With the modern however I sort of saw the results as secondary to the discovery of albums that people might have missed. Funny.. for the completed classic polls I had always been keeping tabs on the results. I generally knew who I was voting for. With the moderns I rarely if ever really kept track of the results. I really only had 3 albums I had a real attachment to.. and it was obvious after the first day than none were going to advance I pretty much just took the opportunity to explore. Btw good call on TFKoE. I remember your comment and along with Ian's hearty recommendation made me really curious and impatient to hear it. I saved that for last and loved it. I broke the tie on that right before I closed the polls this morning. so here is what the 2nd round is looking like. As noted earlier.. the 2nd place ties are being worked on by a team of 3 I asked to settle any ties. I'll announce those when they settle those out. 2nd round matchups Hybris (1992) - Anglagard v. 4th (2008) - DFA The Human Equation (2004) - Ayreon v. The Viewing Point (2009) - The Future Kings Of England The Raven that Refused to Sing (2013) - Steve Wilson v. TIE-BREAK winner between I A Moon (2011) - North Sea Radio Orchestra and Young Team (1996) - Mogwai Seventh Son of a Seventh Son (1988) - Iron Maiden v. Viva Koenji (1997) - Koenji Hyakkei Within the Realm of a Dying Sun (1987) - Dead Can Dance v. TIE-BREAK winner between Random Avenger (2006) - Magyar Posse and L'axe du Fou (2009) - Forgas Band Phenomena Five Suns (2003) - Guapo v. One Armed Bandit (2010) - Jaga Jazzist The Masquerade Overture (1996) - Pendragon v. In A Flesh Aquarium (2006) - UneXpect Mirrored (2007) - Battles v. s/t (1990) - UTotem Sleeping in Traffic Part 2 (2008) - Beardfish v. Crack the Skye (2009) - Mastodon Night (2007) - Gazpacho v.

well just listen to what Uncle Mick suggests in the classics (I do wear my heart and preferences on my sleeve haha) and you'll be alright My Uncle Ian hasn't done me wrong yet, I think all the ones he was strongly aligned with, were big hits with me. His tastes are still a more ...advanced.. than mine. I am still a meat and potatoes kind of listener.. but I'm trying...I'm trying really hard Ringo.. to expand my horizons a bit.

I'm guessing the NSRO/Mogwai tiebreaker doesn't really matter as they run into the buzz saw that is Steve Wilson

perhaps next round we will find hard evidence evidence of funny business perhaps of Steve Wilson using mult ID's here to vote for his albums.. and be able to DQ his album |

For those of you who are experiencing technical issues and found themselves unable to vote: log out, delete your cookies, then log on again. It worked for me when the same happened to me yesterday evening. When you delete cookies (or even your whole browsing history, as I do every week), you start with a clean slate. It's worth trying, as the issue itself was probably put into place to discourage trolls.

My favorites of the albums that were new to me: D.F.A. - 4th The Wrong Object - After The Exhibition Haken - The Mountain Some others sounded interesting too, like Phlox and Forgas Band Phenomena. Great series of polls again for the 2nd classics polls, Micky! For instance, I love the fact that you included Kew Rhone by John Greaves.

thanks Marcel! It was a lot of fun putting these together.
Kew Rhone is a recent discovery for me personally, since I came back to the site last year, so recent I still don't have a physical copy.. not yet at least. Someone (Pat?) had mentioned it as a favorite album in some discussion last year, so naturally it made me curious as I had never heard of it and I checked it out. I was quite taken with it. So taken it seems I am the only person to have voted for it, and one of the only two votes I've cast in the new polls to this point. Perhaps wasted.. but that album was NOT getting bageled!
