    I didn't vote, which is a terrrible shame, I'm sure you all agree. I'm all for the popular vote, because it is meaningless but good-natured fun (unlike the vote in Germany in the 30s). I am a little bit glad that Bruckner features on Rutradelusasa's list!

      Oh, but this is what "philistines" do - they are like sheep and follow the leader, especially on musical matters!! Or, perhaps, more like lemmings. We leave the lofty ideals and actions to the more enlightened amongst us!!

      Come on, Philip, I'm having a bit of fun here myself..........
      Lemmings, I like that!

        Nor did I, which isn't so much a shame. It's interesting to me to see how people do vote, but in the end it changes nothing as far as I am concerned. However, maybe I should have voted to get Bruckner another vote. Aren't the three B's Beethoven, Buxtehude, and Bruckner?

          Nah, the 4 Bs, Sorrano my fiend (sorry, friend) are : Beethoven, Buxtehude, Bruckner and ... Bach (remember him, the poor fellow?).
          Sorrano, I'm really rediscovering Brucker 8 and 5. Who needs women with such music?
