Geir's busy with the prog rock poll
― Algerian Goalkeeper, Thursday, 2 December 2010 22:59 (thirteen years ago) link
for every whinging bill magill on this thread there's a CHAP who was happy with the amount of death metal/thrash metal/black metal.

X Post I'd probably be more qualified for a soft rock poll than a prog one actually. A lot of prog is tuneless and avante garde and way too experimental for my taste. Plus there is all the recent prog that actually would have fit into this poll. :)

Dream Theater are great. :)
But you could easily make a case for Opeth being prog as well... Well, in fact, it'be very stupid to claim they are not.

I'm still amazed ILM has never done these 3 polls:Post-punksynth poptwee

Synth pop? How about an electronic music poll? That would be somewhat wider.

― Algerian Goalkeeper, Friday, 3 December 2010 00:43 (thirteen years ago) link
oh yeah sorry here are the results of that poll
100-51: some moderately obscure synthpop, early kraftwerk, that second album by the knife, beaucoup fish, aphex twin50-21: cluster/eno, more eno, autobahn, girl talk bullshit20-11: dubnobasswithmyetc, selected ambient etc, daft punk debut10-1: transworldexpress, discovery, harmonia, basic channel or w/e, #1 is the avalanches natch
ok argue

Looks more like an EDM/ambient poll than a general electronic music poll though. An electronic music poll would also have to include synthpop and some of today's electropop and synth based RnB.
