Gompers Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 (Hope this is an OK forum to place this) You'll see a list of 10 choices in some fashion related Prog Rock, such as 10 Prog bands, 10 Prog albums, 10 Prog musicians, etc...(keep Rush out or else we'll know who wins. ) The rules: You have 3 options for each of your turns/posts. Starting with 10 points each. 1. Subtract 2 points from one of the choices you want to drop out. 2. Add 2 points to one of the choices you want to continue. 3. Steal 1 point from one of the choices you want to drop out and give that 1 point to one other of the choices you want to continue. Once points reach zero, that choice it will drop out. Cut and paste the listing into your post with your change. If you make the last vote to declare a winner, which will be the only one left, you make the next round of picks. If you don't, indicate that someone else can pick them. No posting consecutively!!!! OK? So to start, I'll list 10 Prog albums: 10 Yes - Going for the One 10 ELP - Brain Salad Surgery 10 Genesis - Selling England 10 King Crimson - In The Court of... 10 Pink Floyd - Animals 10 Gentle Giant - Free Hand 10 Jethro Tull - Aqualung 10 Dream Theater - Awake 10 Marillion - Script For A Jester's... 10 Porcupine Tree - In Absentia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
