There is a poll for the Hop Farm festival where you can vote for Day's. I know many of you reading this won't have even been there to see Ray's performance but maybe you can vote for him anyway! ;D Let's face it - you didn't have to be there to know that Ray's performance would've been the best one of the festival! Last time I looked Ray was in second place...it's really easy to vote and literally just takes a few seconds! www.easypolls.net/poll.html?p=500937efe4b0026fdd123df5 |

Thanks Bub and Uncle!  Another fan, Jayne, made me aware of this poll, I think she's put the word out on a few other sites so fingers crossed that Ray gets to the top! Even if he doesn't, he's still number one in my eyes! ;D |

Thanks MrL! I didn't know you could vote more than once! I tried to vote again but it appears not to be letting me! |

I voted! Odd to (me) to see Suede on top!  They were not known much more than alternative crowd notereity wise here back in the 90s and even were called London Suede (seemed a pattern with Brit bands here; The Charlatans were the Charlatans UK etc)! |

Thankyou 16! King Ray? - I like that!!  Thanks John! You know, I'd kinda forgotten about Suede until I saw that they were number one on this poll. I don't know the song that's at the top of this poll (although I checked it out on YouTube and it's actually really good) but I do remember a few of their singles - Trash, She's In Fashion, and one I really liked - Beautiful Ones. In fact, I think I'll go post a couple over on the P Pop thread! Funny that in the US you 'UK' to some bands - is that the norm with a lot of UK bands? |

I think you can vote twice if you use a different computer, or at least a different browser.
I notice that the total number of votes is less than 1000. Suede fans seem to have flooded this poll with almost 300 votes. Ray had only 124 votes. It's a pretty small sample, but we'd need to get many more Kinks fans mobilized to win at this point.

Sleepy, I think it has to do with there already being another US band with a similar name! The Beat became the English Beat here in the US because there was already a power pop/new wave band called the The Beat (or often billed as The Paul Collins Beat)! I used to see (London) Suede videos on MTV's alternative shows but Trash is the only song that comes immediately to mind now! |

Thanks for clearing that up John! (I meant to say ''Funny that in the US you ADD 'UK' to some bands''!) Holly, a little bird told me the reason why Suede fans flooded the poll - the admin on their official Facebook page posted about the poll - this lady requested that the link was added to Ray's official Facebook page but unfortunately it seems it didn't happen  |

Once again, Ray's "handlers" let the ball drop! Not that "winning" this poll really means anything...  |

I'm quite pleased that yet again Ray (Along with the Kinks) is still not overly popular! I like being in a selective band of fans of a band and singer who never were commercial or the "Most favourite band"! Ray and The Kinks are ours! |

Oh I know Holly, it's just a bit of fun but I thought it'd be nice if Ray won. Kind of annoying that the admin on the Kinks official page found time to post sports results, but ignored a request to post the link to the poll though, something which actually has something to do with Ray |
