Good morning people of the Mastodons!

Yesterday #Opeth gloriously won the first ever #MostLovedMetalBand polling madness against Sepultura.

I put all results into an excel sheet.
Are there any data nerds and diagram aficionados out there who would like to prepare the data in a nice looking way?

You can download the file here:

Password is the number of the beast.

Thanks for anyone who volunteers to do some data magic with it!

🙏 🤘

You have decided! Your #MostLovedMetalBand is:

🏆 Opeth 🤘

Congratulations, this was well deserved. 🎉👏
They didn't let anyone else even come close in any poll.

The silver and bronze medal go to

🥈 Sepultura

🥉 Dark Tranquillity

Congratulations 👏🎉

Thank all of you for contributing, that was a wild, but fun ride.
Maybe I'll do another one next year, who knows.
Of course you can also tell me to never do a poll again, I would totally understand that 😂
