Fugazi 3, Union 1

Been on a Yes site lately and would get killed if I didn't vote Yes

Union doesn't come remotely close.

Fugazi 3, Union 0

If we're talking best Marillion albums of the Fish era, I have to disagree.
For me, it's, in order
Script
Misplaced Childhood
Fugazi
Clutching at Straws

If you go beyond that, probably something like, again in order

Brave
Seasons End
This Strange Engine
Marbles
Radiation
Marillion.com
Afraid of Sunlight
Happiness is the Road

(some of the ones after the first three may be interchangeable, this is just off the top of my head)

Haven't listened to FEAR yet...

I get the point, although one can still banter and discuss votes within a polls thread....it simply makes the counting much easier and probably more accurate.  In any case, your thread, your rules! 

So for me, Fugazi smokes Yes of this era.....and its the best Fish album imo.

Not really; the way it worked on other sites it's more about the visual development of the votes and the comments and banter associated with the voting. It's better, I feel, to see how many votes each album has in each post and argue about it or crow with triumph than to reduce this to a mere sterile poll. That's just my feeling on it, anyway.

I've searched and not seen this topic, but if it's already posted or in play let me know. If not...

Prog Wars (NOT copyright Trollheart MMXVI) works like this: you post two albums, people vote on which they prefer, the better one (as in, the one with more votes) goes through to face the next choice, and so on. I prefer not to allow the more classic albums, ie ones against which little or nothing has a chance, so no Close to the Edge, Dark Side etc. Once the votes have been tallied and we have a clear winner, we move on to the next album, but no new suggestions until the current "battle" has been completed.

You can give your reasons for voting, if you want, though that's not mandatory, and once an album has been "defeated" it cannot be re-entered into a fresh battle. All results are final, and if you miss a battle, tough: it won't be refought. 

Anyone know of this/interested? For the sake of argument, I'll pop two up here which I think stand a chance against each other and may provoke a little debate:

Fugazi, second album from Marillion



                             VS
Union, "reunion" Yes album



Vote now!
