I'd like to see whether he actually has a chance of winning based on how many fans we can mobilise!   -------------- "The concept of progress acts as a protective mechanism to shield us from the terrors of the future." - from 'Collected Sayings of Muad'Dib' by the Princess Irulan Back to top

nightspore Group: Members Posts: 4761 Joined: Mar. 2008 Posted: Mar. 23 2009, 21:54 At the risk of being shot down, I don't think MotS deserves it. A piece like "Sunset" from Light and Shade is worth the whole of MotS, in my opinion. Back to top

Tati The Sentinel Group: Members Posts: 3360 Joined: Feb. 2002 Posted: Mar. 23 2009, 22:06 For me, MOTS doesn't show off Mike's musical talent,but at least it's his chance to get reconized somewhat! Even my friends who don't like MO have voted for him! -------------- "But it's always the outsider, the black sheep, that becomes the blockbuster." - Mike Oldfield, 2014 "I remember feeling that I'd been judged unfairly and that I was going to prove them wrong." - Peter Davison, 2011 Back to top

James I seem to recall from my history lessons that prior to the war of independence we sort of stopped you being able to vote, whilst still charging you taxes. Great idea if you can get away with it. Obviously in the end we didn't! (So we just do that to working under 18s now). So anyway, perhaps we owe the Americans an extra vote or two.   -------------- Clotty Back to top

Mark Group: Members Posts: 32 Joined: Dec. 2007 Posted: Mar. 25 2009, 09:43 No, I didn't vote. MOTS doesn't deserve a vote in this category. Still a nice album though. Back to top
