Your precious PT ended up passing anyway.
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

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 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.

Oh! Just one more day of whining!
I'm curious who will win in this strange tug-of-war!

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.

Though I'm Hungarian, I've have never really liked AC having known them since their very first album. I'm not a big fan of PT either but I like Coma Divine, Sunday Life, Transmission IV and Voyage 34 (Original version). So PT got my vote.

After this poll closes and you rename the title, I just bet that there will be a complete landslide of PT votes.
I also bet most of them will be from people that have never heard After Crying, but since most of them also wont post, there's no way to prove it.
Sticking the unknown underdog against the steamroller that is PT, who have gained the most votes in just about every poll they've ever been in on this site for the last 5 years, was always going to end up with a foregone conclusion within a few hours of the poll opening.
