Problem, plus Poll Results So Far

First off, I haven't posted any new albums for a couple of days because there seems to be something wrong with the Bestfile file sharing service. In the past two days, all the links for me go to this message, no matter what browser I use:

Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead

Firefox detected an issue and did not continue to bestfile.io. The website is either misconfigured or your computer clock is set to the wrong time.

---

Is that the same for everyone else? In any case, I can't do anything with that service until that problem goes away. I hope it isn't permanent. I guess I'll proceed with posting things with just the other filesharing service, Pixeldrain, then hopefully go back and add the other links when I'm able to do so.

With that out of the way, here are the BBC poll results so far. There may still be some votes trickling in, and I hope there are, since there are a lot of ties here. I'll keep adding in more votes as they come in. But here's the results as of now:

I must say, I'm pretty surprised by the results so far. Some famous names are way down the list, and some lesser known ones are near the top. And it's interesting that when I did the earlier poll with fewer choices, the Incredible String Band got the most votes, but now they're tied for ninth. Anyway, while I'm still intent on finishing off posting the BBC albums for the musical acts where I've already posted at least one BBC album already, there's no reason I can't at least get started on this list a little bit soon. So I'll probably start posting one or two acts from the top in the next week or so. 

Thanks again for the helpful feedback!
