Ah, Zack Hill is a great choice, he'd have been in my list for sure if my brain had registered him as a prog drummer Dead

And Nathan, as long as the band/guy you mentioned appears on PA under something that isn't Prog Related it's valid.

Maybe they're leaving him off because they don't like his drumming.

Yes, exactly. I love Magma, heck I've rated 5 stars M.D.K. and I like a lot of their discography as well. But the drumming is either not very clear (M.D.K) or doesn't do much to me, although he's awesome no doubt, seeing him live through YouTube showed me that.

I did choose Phil Collins for his work with Brand X which I love, plus a lot of his fills within Genesis are great.

Listen, I realize that haranguing people for their opinions without contributing anything of value is sort of your modus operandi, but to call out somebody for the way they voted without voting yourself is downright laughable. Collins and Vander are tied, for the record, so it's not like there's an overwhelming conspiracy to keep Vander out of the final poll. He's pretty popular in terms of points, as a matter of fact.

And yeah, richardh, you gotta switch out Nicko for somebody else and then I'll count your vote.
