Actually, I agree with you... With Moonie, he's "da best" in intuitive drumming, but Ginger was too much of a dick
 
 
And if I wanted to skew your poll, I'd have chosen, Richard Starkey >> steady, but the weakest on your list.Tongue

It's good to see Phil Collins doing well in the poll, even though he's not considered "proggy" enough as a solo artist to gain admission to the hallowed halls of Prog Archives. Smile
 

I'm surprised that people are surprised he is doing well. Collins was always one of the best prog drummers and I would only put maybe a small handful ahead of him. Personality wise he tended to be a 'creepy cockney' and initially struggled to fill the void left by Gabriel. His solo stuff his pure pop although there is a lot of affection admittedly for In The Air Tonight which is probably his only real memorable solo moment.

I stand corrected. I should have known. Who could forget "Hallowed Be Thy Name" by Iron Maiden. Smile

The overwhelming amount of information on a daily basis restrains people from rewinding the news record archives to refresh their memories...

If you really dislike my "dumb polls" that much, then why are you here posting on this thread? I suspect it's just an anti-Trump backlash from the American Politics thread. Tongue



... Or maybe you skew your own poll yourself and claim to be the victim so you can play the Calimero
Sleepy

Bobh-hoo-hooo, your poor Censoredlittle thing CrySleepy


I haven't opened that US Politics thread in a long while, so I wouldn't even know what kind of crud you've spread up there.

Well, if you could make it the last time you run a 1000-X-done-before poll, we would all appreciate it TongueWink

BTW, not sure somebody would spend a half an hour of their life skewing a dumb poll

I think we can discount most of those dubious 32 votes for Nick Mason and declare Bill Bruford the well-deserved winner of the poll. Smile

I find that hard to believe too, especially seeing as most of those 31 votes for Nick Mason have been added overnight. Bill Bruford was way ahead in the poll until today.
