I'm sure I left some off. If you know of a good one that should be on here even if you didn't vote for it as "other" mention it anyway. Yes, I did throw a few prog tunes in here but I couldn't think of enough to make it a prog only poll.

Voted "Other" for Type O Negative's "Black No. 1 (Little Miss Scare All)". The poll could use some Rob Zombie/White Zombie. |

Ballad of Dwight Fry by Alice Cooper is a far better scary selection than I Love the Dead, which is quite campy. ------------- ...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology... |

By the way, since I generally prefer not to just list and vote for other, but being very tired I missed it in your list, I would have very happily gone with Bauhaus' "Bela Lugosi is Dead" (I used to be obsessed with the film The Hunger which features it at the start). ------------- Just a fanboy passin' through. |

That's a great list of songs and well done for including Mike Oldfield's "Tubular Bells" featured in "The Exorcist" horror movie. I voted for "Don't Fear the Reaper" by Blue Oyster Cult. I also like "The Siege and Investiture of Baron von Frankenstein's Castle at Weisseria" from the BOC "Imaginos" album..... |

nice list but it needs some Goblin and maybe some... King Diamond.  |

If you want I can open it up to multiple votes so you can vote for it.
 I don't want people to abuse that though so I would change it back soon after. Also, I don't know how many multiple votes you would get anyway. |

Appropriate for Halloween is this song from 1982. Its style is an obvious imitation of the Velvet Underground.The Dream Syndicate: "Halloween" |

Sorry mate but this, this is a proper Halloween song ------------- Let's make Prog a family again. Tired of Snobbery and trolling. We all have a right to love what and who we love so lets respect and appreciate all who care about the finest music in the world... prog |

{merged} As we already have this thread, which includes an other option: http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=121316" rel="nofollow - http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=121316 {that's the one you are now reading this post in} And while that is not Prog focused, as The Dream Syndicate is not included in the Prog Archives database, I merged this with that poll. From site rules and guidelines: "Prog Music lounge This section is for general discussions about Progressive music. Unless and until an artist is included in Prog Archives, they are not considered to be "prog". In other words, discussions in "Prog Music Lounge" should only be about groups/music currently included in Prog Archives, or about progressive music in general. If you wish to suggest a band for inclusion in the site, see "Suggest new Bands" below. For discussions on all other types of music see the "General music discussions" section below." ------------- Just a fanboy passin' through. |

Sorry... I didn't realize that it had to be in the database in order to qualify for posting there. I guess I should have put my post here instead of in the Prog section. Can I view the database online? I'd love to see what other good stuff it contains. |

No worries, I got rid of another Halloween song topic in the Prog Music lounge, the person had already responded to you anyway, but decided to create his own (fanboys gonna fan), and that was in the database. I move stuff a lot, sometimes badly. The "database" is accessible from the main part of the site (I just mean all the bands that have been added to Prog Archives): http://www.progarchives.com/" rel="nofollow - http://www.progarchives.com/ One can search alphabetically, in "prog sub-genres", using the google custom search bar on the front/main page.... ------------- Just a fanboy passin' through. |

What better music can there be to celebrate Halloween than the main theme from the Halloween movie. |

For the prog forum yes but not in the general music forum which is why I posted this poll in here and not in the prog section. However, I guess most people on here only like prog because there's not many votes for any of the non prog or prog related songs on here.
 Oh well. |

Thanks, Logan and AFlowerKingCrimson. I do like some stuff by King Crimson, and also Pink Floyd. Since childhood, my ears have always picked out the songs with fuzztone or other heavy effects -- from the Kinks, through the Velvet Underground, to Led Zeppelin. I just now posted three more songs, in the "Proto-Prog and Prog-Related" section, which I guess might be sort of Borderline-Prog. |

Thank you, Logan, for giving me those links to all the information and guidelines on what is or isn't Prog. I have to compliment you and your site admins on your thoroughness. Rarely have I seen a forum website that spells out its rules in such great detail. Most of them are too lazy to do that much writing!

| No Pink Floyd on here but I probably should have included "careful with that axe Eugene" or maybe "one of these days." |
