Yeah Lark's Tongues in Aspics, Starless and Bible Black and Red are not my cup of tea

So then how come you didn't vote for Octopus then or if you did you didn't do it until earlier today. No votes for Octopus at all yesterday.

If CristuaxFer is like me, as I am more interested in reading the comments and writing than looking at results and clicking on options, I quite often register my preference by post rather than bothering to click on an option in the poll.

EDIT: I hadn't checked to see Christopher's point count until now -- one cannot vote in polls until one has 40 points unless that's changed -- so in that case he could not have voted anyway as it is currently too low (39 points). I've now given him a "thanks" (a generally underutilised feature imo) which gives five points, so now he can vote if he wants.

Love all 3, but Larks gets the vote.  I remember the first time I heard the title track to Birds of Fire I thought it was Crimson LOL

^^ Elections I rarely vote in just for fun (I expect the "just for fun" vote significantly helped Donald Trump).

Real elections tend to matter more (I would seriously reform the way elections are held if I had the power). If they were of as little consequence as these polls, then I probably wouldn't bother making the effort to vote at all. If I don't feel strongly about the results, I don't vote in elections, and I rarely care much about the results in these polls.

At least when I make polls most of the time, I only look at the polls as an accessory to discussion and am rarely that interested in the actual poll results. Others approach it differently, and that's fine too. Different strokes for different folks.

God, the father, Jesus Christ, the son, or the Holy Ghost. Which one do you love the most. C'mon?! That said, I guess today I would say Larks.

Two random guys agreed to shake hands. Just Because. They felt like it, you know. It was an agreement of sorts...a random agreement.

Don't believe in any of them but thats a no-brainer. The son was peace loving, gentle and non-judgemental while his father was a pompous, ill-mannered and blood-thirsty psychopath.

I'm guessing birds has so few votes because most people aren't as familiar with it as the others. Anyone else think that's a strong possibility? I'm sure it might still be in last place but not by this much if more people knew about it.

Either that or because it's straight up jazz fusion.  The votes might be reversed if this site was "Fusion Archives."
