Would someone post some of After Crying's best songs? Might as well for us who don't know them very well.

In defense of the whiners. They would not whine if they did not care.

Anyone feel like starting a similar poll where bands can only participate if their number of ratings is below a maximum. That way only underdogs participate. Or some mathematicaly inclined could invent a system that handicaps popular bands. Something like 3 votes for Porcupine Tree equal 1 for After Crying.

Allow me to apologize for any past & future whining from myself. You're doing a great job. Chapeau!
If fun is the purpose than this is achieved.
Thanks !! Your topics always so good and informative. I like you talk.

well ... now thanks to Anthony's poll

we know that Hoyry-Kone is more popular than Genesis with people that are interested in a Hoyry-Kone poll

This is interesting .... no doubt....

but does not tell us the whole story..... does it??

I hope I've introduced somebody to the After Crying. For those who have liked them let me suggest the Czech "Collegium Musicum" and the Romanian Phoenix , too. 

There's a lot of hidden treasures behind the iron curtain.

Wow, entirely missed this poll.  I thought Morningrise was on vacation.

The experiment lasted only 10 hours, with just 14 votes and a difference of only 2 for Hoyry Kone. That's not very representative.
 
Anyway, Porcupine Tree advanced to the next round, so I guess that people interested in an After Crying poll still prefered Porcupine Tree over them.

Fushta!!

(those who have seen Dracula: Dead And Loving It might understand this last word LOL)

You assumed that everyone who's heard After Crying has also heard PT, even though you changed the title to nullify non-objectivity, you just skewed the poll in a different way.

I like PT for sure,  but the whole idea of running a tournament with the same standard title in approx 29 of 30 of the polls and a totally different title that just happens to include one of the favourites to win the tournament strikes me as unfair.

I would have voiced the same opinion even if the band being singled out was one I didn't like

If PT would have been eliminated, then the tournament would have been ruined, because you never would know who should have won.

The same could be said if  Opeth was singled out.   The tournament would be ruined..... which would be sad..... even though I don't like Opeth
Prog On!
