When it came to choosing an artist for the letter "J", Jade Warrior won by a narrow margin over Jethro Tull, so I'll save Ian Anderson & co. for my second A-Z list.  Smile

You misunderstood.
He said he would not make an albums poll because he wouldn't be able to choose. Aren't the rest of us the target audience? Wouldn't a poll start a little bit of conversation? I don't understand... 
It makes little sense to me... Confused

Why don't you do an albums poll if that's what you'd prefer?
 
You may have noticed that you're the only one who's complained about this being an artists poll. Smile

I was thinking about doing a modern prog albums poll.

Gentle Giant should have been listed instead of David Gilmour... GG was arguably the most British of British Prog bands, and Gilmour is already represented here by Pink Floyd...

Ok.
He made a poll including these particular bands/artists because they were on his YouTube channel, I don't know why he made that remark - maybe another reason?

why do you say we never have a "discussion", you always use the word "argument"? 
I like to have a discussion, but you like to turn it into an argument. Ouch

There are 25 poll choices simply because there are 26 letters in the alphabet. Smile

what are you doing? You cut out most of what i said to tell me why there are so many bands in the poll? Confused
I just gave you a piece of advice. You either take it or leave it, but don't take my words out of context...

are you making these polls for us or for yourself? Confused

albums' poll are more interesting than bands polls, especially a poll with too many bands which makes it impossible to choose. Just a few bands might work fine, 20 something will be hard. 

Just word of advice, that's all.
