B****slap to 40footwolf

I guess if by bitchslap you mean flippantly nonsensical remark, as the word "Nominations" is right in the title of the thread.

Okay smart arse. Don't hold a tournament - that's not a request or a suggestion.

What?

Your request will be taken under advisement. Approve

it's ridiculous how people are leaving off Vander just because they don't like Zeuhl. Come on, you know he's a better drummer than Phil Collins in every way imaginable

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.

Why? Maiden are in the archives.

Nicko is a brilliant drummer and extremely underrated.

Then again maybe you were being ironic and just missed out the winky smiley face?

^ While I may get a little pissy at the exclusion of a (Proto) Prog drummer, when the OP only states that Prog Related will not be counted, I think the chances of a drummer from a death metal band getting counted are extremely remote.

What?

Stop his poll Dean. You have the power!

Is this from A Grumpy Christmas by any chance? Wakeman is just great in the grumpy series.

Dunno where I found it - could be Grumpy, could be Nevermind the Buzzcocks ... I think he's too old in the pic for it to be Mike Read's Pop Quiz

Yeah, you gotta switch out Sandoval for someone in the PA archives that isn't Prog Related or Proto Prog and it'll be counted.
