Next up. Poll #11.
One vote, top 2 vote getters move on to 2nd round to face each other.
Vote for the album people.. not the group. If you don't know the album,
ask, google, youtube it. Lots of great music here man... Here are the next four up! ohhh.. one of my favorite groups. Was hard to choose just one. Electric Light Orchestra!!! Wishbone Ash!!!! RUSH!!!!!!  and Hatfield and the North!!!! (one of my favorite tracks to listen to on the way to work btw.. better than a Winston and a cup of Raff's coffee) Vegas is laying heavy odds on Rush and Hatfield.. can ELO sneak in. Unlikely but we shall see! ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

I feel guilty not voting for Hatfield And The North but A Farewell To Kings is one I have known since I was 17 years old. Wishbone Ash then ELO are next. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

didn't expect Argus to be hanging with FtK. Somewhat surprising. Good album but Rush is.. Rush! sitting on my vote.. but would give it to Rush if between those two. It looks like ELO is dead in the water so it likely will go to Rush. ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

I had a suggestion to improve
the format and it makes sense so changing this mid vote. Not that it really matters.

Rush - not even close for me. Wishbone Ash have their moments here and, atypically, I like the poppier side of ELO. Hatfield is obviously skilled but not my taste. ------------- More heavy prog, please! |

^ I did toy with going with ELO's 2nd or 3rd albums (my personal favorites) but wanted to spotlight the Roy Wood album. all great.. but unless Jeff Lynne was giving out sex and paying for the honor to get votes .. no way ELO was going to do better than 4th in this grouping no matter what album we went with. ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

I understand that. Roy Wood is a a unique persona. If you listen to his "Boulders" album: quite original stuff...

Can't believe Rush are pipping Hatfields in this. It's like replaying my teenage years all over again as I was 'forced' to justify why Hatfield were so brilliant against my more numerous and smug Rush 'friends' -- what's worse, it seems that since then (the late 70s), Rush have been classified as 'prog' - back then, they were faves at the metal discos. Ah well... |

blame it on Argus... I suspect most of those votes would have gone to Hatfield if in a straight 1 on 1 duel. Perhaps they will meet again in the 3rd round. ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |
