Don't know Phideaux or PRR yet. More listening...

(It seems there was more stuff I didn't know in the second half of both classic and modern polls).

I think I'm giving this one to miRthkon.

Thats actually the first time I've heard The Dark Third, even though I have the album. Columbia Records completely screwed the release of that album with the two best tracks, TDT and The Twyncin being split between different regions. Would have made for a better album overall if they'd put it all together properly in the first place.

Alright, so I'll put both Phideaux and PRR in the category of "not bad but not my thing either." I like that miRthkon album but I like the Ozrics album more. They get my vote.

The Dark Third! One of the most under-appreciated "masterpieces" on PA!

I realise that these polls are rapidly exposing the fact that my tastes are at best tending towards the overly melodic or at worst a bit middle of the road.

I'm enjoying Mirthkon but I fear I'd rarely revisit it. Technically excellent though. (for what ever reason that specific clip is not available to the likes of me). Ozric I enjoy but no real involvement. PRR, now that is good, my only concern is whether the vocals are a bit too sweet. Maybe that is also a criticism that could be levelled at Phideaux but at least they (him) mix it up a bit more. I'm having a hard time moving on from listening. Has it enough substance to stand repeated listens ? Not overly sure about that but I'm going to find out.

Phideax.

Jurassic Shift...although a couple of others are quite good. Jurassic Shift though, played that thing with my buds driving around in a van high as kites in the early 90's.

Have both of miRthkon's albums, but neither have quite grabbed me. Didn't like TDD, but enjoyed both Snowtorch and Jurassic Shift. Vote goes to the former.

While it was tough for me to vote against Phideaux I had to go with The Dark Third.  One of my favorite discoveries from this site.
