Nine if my choices won but I'm used to that  Grin


Either that's a typo, or you regularly enter votes for nine or more things at a time and do very well.   Wink

Thanks Al! Nine if my choices won but I'm used to that  Grin


This is excellent. I think we should all type posts like the policeman from Alllo Allo.

If it is any compensation Bridj, Most of my own choices came nowhere close to topping the polls either (apart from Least Favourite Sleeve). Its a sad world when you cannot fix it for your favourites to win even when you are organising the poll! Not for the first time, I seem to be completely out of step with the rest of TAW.

For the record they were:

One More Chance - Song 67-79 (in the absence of Sloth)
The Wounded Whale - Song 85-96
Weightless - Song 97-17
I'll Keep It With Mine - Outside Writer
Lark In The Morning - Instrumental
My Feet Are Set For Dancing - Least Fave Song
History Of - Fave Sleeve (in the absence of Gladys Leap)

Chin up Al - we're roughly in 28.57% agreement...  Grin

How about a poll to see which band we want to do this again for?

Fill your boots but somebody else will need to take it on.

In order to work, it needs to be a band/artist with a popular following on the board so I would suggest that the Dead or Yes would be too niche.

Also, Fairport break down quite easily into specific eras/line ups which can define the categories. The subject of any other poll would need similar attributes.

I bow to your expertise and diligence. Congratulations on this mammoth effort!

I'm not offering to do it, but Steeleye Span might make a good subject for such a poll.

I would not be able to participate in that one as I know nothing of their work (apart from the obvious), which is not a reason not to do it of course.

Albion Band might work if sufficient nominations could be gathered. Their work breaks down quite well into eras. 71-80, 83-87, 89-90, 93-2001.

Sorry to double post. I like the idea of RT but I'm not sure how you would break it down. Richard & Linda, solo 72-86, solo 88-99 and solo 2003-15 maybe?
