I could vote for Hickox if only for his Rubbra cycle, or Handley for the Simpson and Bantock, but I decided on Thompson because I think he is very much underrated and certainly should not sit there with NO votes!

Thompson for the Bax (which I prefer) and RVW.
Do what I must do, and let what must happen happen.

A great choice, Paul. I've long been an admirer of Thomson. I agree that he was much better in RVW and Bax than Handley and Hickox never recorded Bax (I don't think). Thomson's Martinu cycle is also noteworthy.
