I think the singer and drummer polls should be done first though.
This list makes no sense, metallica on the same list with pink floyd, ...
Yeah.
The Rock and Metal polls were done seperately.
Whatever, its cool, something to do I guess
Exactly.
Way to miss the point completely.
Two of the top 4 are from Pink floyd?
Thats stupid.
lol liek toetallie
Well, then you should have voted differently.
I'm sure he would rather complain about an internet poll than join MX.
We all know that Riva is an untrustworthy user, and must be lynched.
