vote for the mountain king!
i haven't heard of hardly any of the bands on those polls, and i can't believe they voted 40%+ for marylin manson
Jon Oliva has contributed far more over his career so far

manson has been 1 band, and one that hasn't had that big of an influence or importance, wheras Oliva has been in quite a few bands, and most all of them have done something important for the genre

PLEASE vote for Jon
!! Don't let the percentages scare you off. Yesterday, when I voted, Jon only had 4%, so there haven't been THAT many ballots cast. I've got the entire Houston metal scene voting for Jon. And vote from as many machines as you can!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Thanks,

Well, I voted for him, but honestly, Oliva doesn't deserve to win . . .

. . . on that page!
I mean, look at the other bands. He hasn't done much for that genre. I'm not even sure why he's up there. It's like Jethro Tull getting the Heavy Metal/Hard Rock Artist of the year Grammy.
Oliva may be the best songwriter _ever_ in just about any other rock/metal genre, and one of the best performers to ever grace the stage, but just not on that site.

Dude, this poll is a damn joke... and I like MM. Deicide for a Lifetime Achievement award??? Get real. I think *I've* done more for metal then Glen Benton and Co. Positive anyway. :b

This seems to be a niche website; I don't think Jon fits at all with the rest of the bands listed. Most of the ones I've heard of are punk.
It looks like a who's who of Florida bands, that's why a lot of you don't know more than 1/2 of them.

They are all florida bands, that is kind of a crock of shit. Either way Jon deserves it more than anyone else up there obviously.

What a weird list...even factoring in the Florida connection.
For the record, none of the performers listed are punk bands or performers; Curse Mackey is a goth DJ, not a punk artist. (Nice guy, too, oddly enough. Anyone who can get HR Giger over to the States is pretty nifty.)

I voted for Oliva for Lifetime. That was the only poll on that page I could vote for, since I didn't know anyone else.
