![]() ![]() I never knew Magma had such cool lyrics.
![]() Near the end it really does sound like they're singing "Soon eh Gandalf, very soon."
But my favorite is "we're in the circle of bacon"

Thanks (also to Song of Copper) for posting those links - they make me realise I'm pretty normal compared to some people banana banana teapot out there.

That's a tight game, this one, tighter than Alex and David were wishing for
![]() ![]() This is what happen when you put 2 great bands together with usually the same kind of crowd listening to those 2!

So Magma won? Can't say I'm displeased, but a little surprised. Last I saw, it was trailing. Think this is a case (and let's extend it to Gong while we're at it :lol:) where both could be declared winners. I'm wondering, for how long does each poll last?

Yep, Magma won. I honestly didn't think it was going to happen when I last checked yesterday evening. Well, at first I was going to make it roughly 3-7 days for each poll... but when I found out how quickly all the votes came in I decided that I'd leave each poll up for as close to 3 days as possible. So, I close each poll as closely to 72 hours as I can. I was working on my essay this morning and then I got to posting the next poll about 75 or 76 hours later, but anywhere in that approximate time range. Some of these have been really close though; I've been pleasantly surprised. ![]() |

Haha. I'm going to claim credit, despite not having voted. The right intimidating photo will do it every time.

I don't know both bands deeply, but I have a certain idea of each..
From Soft Machine I really like their Fusion stuff, Softs, Bundles, Tour '75. While as for Magma, Attahk and MDK are the only ones I heard, and they're GREAT. It's Avant VS Fusion for me.. I'll go with Fusion this time...Ban Ban Caliban and Hazard Profile are/should be Fusion classics! |

Yeah, I guess that works. But what could be better than Magma? ![]() (other than Rush and maybe Henry Cow ![]() Edited by MovingPictures07 - October 05 2008 at 19:36 |

I am surprised you would close with the vote this close. There are probably lots of absentee ballots out. Not that I have any problem with the result. The winner Iss de Hundin. But if I was on the other side, like febus, I would be screaming about ballot tampering and recounts and injunctions. |

I closed previous polls where 1 vote was the difference. I try to keep them systematic though by using roughly 72 hours every time. I can't see an influx of votes making this go in one way or the other; most of the votes this poll would ever get are in by now. So far the favor of the voting has not changed after I closed a poll. If it does, then I may think about revising. |

wow I've registered to the forum after seeing that poll - I love polls.
It may be too late, but my choice is Magma, because -it never followed the trend (as opposed to Soft who fell into jazz-rock?). -you have the best drummer in the cosmos (silly argument) Of course I'm talking about Magma from MDK and after, because the first 2 albums were....actually influenced by Soft Machine itself..;-) |
