Thanks! This is the best year of the 21st century so far for me, where I had to somehow whittle a list of 35 albums down to 25 for the poll. I've included a couple of 2-star albums too, as I know from past experience  that the albums I rate the lowest usually go on to win the poll. Smile

Number of albums I listened to for the first time yesterday = 6 (Echolyn; Kaipa; Like Wendy; Magic Pie; The Mars Volta; Neal Morse) 

Number of CD albums I currently own in the poll = 3 (Kate Bush; Dream Theater; Porcupine Tree)

Voted for..... Underground Zero, mainly because I know no one else will. Smile

I think you should try a little harder with VDGG though... Present isn't a classic, but it's certainly better than the 2 stars you've awarded it.

I'm afraid you're fighting an uphill battle with trying to turn me on to VDGG's 2-star Present album, especially  bearing in mind I've given a lowly  2-star rating to the classic Pawn Hearts album too. Embarrassed

I did give a full 5-stsr rating to VDGG's two 1970 albums though and I even went out and bought them too, so The Least We Can Do is Wave to Each Other in showing our appreciation for those two particular albums.  Thumbs Up

^^ no disrespect Paul, but that is the most non-sensical set of ratings I've ever seen!

5 Stars for Least & H to He (Masterpiece) and 2 for Pawn Hearts???? (their greatest work and the one that, even by their own admission, the former two albums were leading up to?)

Besides that, World Record is their most melodic and accessible (you like that kind of thing) and it only gets 3 Stars??

We implore you to reevaluate...

^ Sorry Jared, but After the Ordeal of listening to Pawn Hearts three times in a row now, it's not going to gain an extra star from me by listening to it again, so no, VDGG aren't a Vital band for me. Confused
