I was just bored and seen that previous topic :

http://www.allsparks.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1477

so, thought GFG was right and made that one.

IMO, definitely Ian Hampton with Martin Gordon as a close runner up and then followed extremely closely by the others. They are all excellent though!

yes, all excellent, I've used another account to vote for the two I prefer, but I'm not sure I've chosen them for the music lol
obviously I've voted for Ian Hampton and Martin Gordon.

I really don't like comparing them because there is "good" based on skill and talent and then those who rate "good" on opinion/personal taste.

Yes, I have a favorite but really hate choosing. (btw- I think hampton is spelled with a capital "H", Hampton. Sorry, it's school teachers in my family blood.)

there's also school teacher blood in my veines and that was only due to a mistake from my keyboard, if you think it was made voluntarily, then, check my previous message, there's the capital H in that one.


Thinking again about that poll, my choices are also musical.

Ouch! Pedantry leads us all into such dangerous territory. How can a whole nation get away with missing out the "u" in "favourite" ? ;-)

Ian Hampton , hands down.

really liked our cover of "This Town Aint Big Enough"!)

I do like the kick bass sort of thing Les Bohem used to do (like on Please Baby Please)

I vote Jim Mankey!!!

Surprising poll results. Kimono get voted most popular album, which had Martin Gordon, NOT Ian Hampton. Mmmmm!
