Title: Clash of epic songs: Cygnus X-1 II Hemispheres or Close to the Edge?
Post by: WildRanger on September 01, 2018, 07:06:39 AM
Between these two side-long epics what wins in your book?
CTTE in mine definitely.

CTTE.

I love Rush, but that song has never interested me, for some reason.

How is that possible? Only casual listeners are able to listen to that, and you are a PRogGeR!

Gonna have a new poll. First Hemispheres vs CTTE thread or the Second Hemispheres vs CTTE Thread.
You can only pick one.

I fucking *knew* it, just the SAME EXACT POLL, only six months later.

Addition? I'm not sure where you're getting that. The OP just used the full title, albeit poorly typed, as "Hemispheres" is officially known as "Cygnus X-1, Book II: Hemispheres". The OP also states that this is a poll between TWO side-length songs, so only "Hemispheres" and "Close To The Edge", and no sign of "Cygnus X-1, Book I: The Voyage".

So yes, this is the SAME EXACT POLL that 78 of us voted in over 6 months ago, which ended in a TIE after 4-5 months of discussion.

Can this be closed?

Well to be fair :neverusethis: the first poll was album vs album. This poll is song vs song.

I mean, I'm not sure how anyone could confuse the two. ;D ;D

....shhhhhhhh...

Despite being just about the opening songs, I feel like a lot of that discussion was made in the album-vs-album thread, as the idea of battling the epics against each other was a present idea then.

What's next? Side 2 of Hemispheres VS Side 2 of CTTE?

I'm actually amazed. I just looked at the stats, and this dude's "only" started 111 topics from his 243 posts to date. I thought the figure would be a lot more than that.

If you consider that he posts at least once more in the topics he creates, you get 222 posts out of 243.  ;D
