Bloc Weekend Big Poll Results

The results are in. Having posted the poll across teh following forums - No-future, disception, Little Detroit, Blackout Audio (only two responses) and Baselogic's/Bloc's own Uncollected, a total of 85 people responded. Tried to do Squat Juice, but they never approved my registration.

I didn't really think how I was going to present the results when I did the poll (doh), so I ended up going for a system when an artist was awarded 12pts for a first place vote; 6pts for a second place vote and 3pts for a third place vote.

only 2 responses from here:ohdear: oops, there where a few off here that went too:whoops:

Any poll from Bloc that has Clark trailing at the bottom, can't be taken very seriously. Is there really a need for this kinda thing in the first place?
People know what sets they enjoyed, but ultimately it was the collective work of organisers and artists that made it such a great event. Why start a competition between everyone that played then?

Fair play to you for putting the graft in to collate the votes, but really, there is no need for this kind of thing. It kinda tramples on the spirit of these type of events in my opinion..

It's only a bit of fun innit - many forums were having top 3 threads I thought it would be good if all the opinions in those posts could be summed up in a chart.

The quality at Bloc was awesome all weekend no one is doubting that - plus its interesting to see the divergence of music tastes across the main forums - would have been good to get some more Blackout Audio opinions - then I could have done you guys a top10.

Didn't go. Would have loved to

Gutted I missed it.
