*for the 2016 poll i counted baroque's votes as unordered and it turned out he intended them to be ordered. i've edited the results to reflect this. i won't do this again so pls try to be clear thx

Pleasantly surprised Dream Theater came that close to making it in 2003. Thx for the 2016 fix, unintentional.
