Way to get Algroth’s vote?

Put it in some total shite with no tune sung in a foreign language.

Easy vote winner.

Someone got off the wrong side of bed.

[Lord Rother]

Just competing with Jumper K for the grumpy old man award.

[algroth]

To quote a little-known track in the cup thus far, I know what I like. I also know what I don't. Part if the fun in the cup is giving one's input on the tracks, and it just happens that I find a lot of this reg-rock to be utterly anathema to my tastes. You enjoy it? More power to you. But play the ball, not the player.

[Lord Rother]

Don’t take me seriously.

I love prog and respect all. Once every 2 years I exaggerate everything in this thing for a bit of fun.

Fun lad?

Fun?

Wash your mouth out.

This is serious business and a tremendous amount is at stake.

As for your wishy-washy liberalist view 'I love prog and respect all' - there is no place for that.

DC is DC and should be eradicated from this world like airbrushing out Trotsky!

Disgraceful

Yes, disgraceful

Ok, my mistake missing you out of the grumpy old man contest!
