I don't necessarily see it as "DT hate" as much as "DT least favorite from the choices provided".

Kinda lame that the lamest DT disc was put on the list while most of the other groups have one of their strongest disc listed.

Luck of the draw, I guess!

 

If this game catches on, I'm sure DT will be better represented.

I'm sorry. Maybe it does. But so does the reverence Rush fans otherwise show to DT.

 

The musicianship is there, but the lyrics are bleak and the vocalist belongs in an 80s hair band.

yeah, it's a love hate/ thing i guess . i think the vocals more than anything is what drives people up a wall . i know a few people who say they love the music just don't get the voice[ my wife included biggrin.gif ]

That's my main problem with them... which is ironic, I suppose, coming from a Rush fan! I mean, is Geddy's voice that much better? laugh.gif

 

I've bought five or six DT albums and have tried like hell to like them. I just don't. I even have the first LTE album, figuring it was DT without the bad vocals, but that doesn't get any play, either.

Once again Gomps what do we do if we keep adding points to bands...we'll never get to a winner.....I say the first band to reach 25 points is removed from the list as well, but gets the #1 position in the rankings list I provided below the standings graphp below....and so on the next band to reach 25 gets the 2nd place spot, just as the second band to be eliminated gets the #9 spot.....is that cool with you GOmps?

 

anyway.....

 

-1 from GG +1 for Floyd

 

13 Yes - Going for the One

13 Genesis - Selling England

As has already been mentioned the game as constituted has the potential of never ending. These types of games should always have more points available for subtracting than adding to insure a finish.

 

So based on the OP's possibilities:

1-- add 2 points

2-- subtract 3 points

3-- add 1 and subtract 2 (choice 3 is the simplest, easiest and most correct tongue.gif way to play this type of game without the need of choices 1 and 2)

 

In the meantime... -2 GG
