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! ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) 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! ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) 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! ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Odd to (me) to see Suede on top! ![:o](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/shocked.png) 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!! ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) Thanks John! ![;)](http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g100/HollH/smileys/10nid1z.gif) 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.

Funny that in the US you 'UK' to some bands - is that the norm with a lot of UK bands? 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! ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) (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 ![:-/](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/undecided.png)

Once again, Ray's "handlers" let the ball drop! Not that "winning" this poll really means anything... ![::)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/eyesroll.png)

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! ![;)](http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g100/HollH/smileys/10nid1z.gif)

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 ![::)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/eyesroll.png)
