I look forward to seeing the poll results and your responses and reasons for choosing what you did!
My favorite bard college is the College of Lore, and my least favorite is the College of Glamour. (In the least favorite section, I meant college of glamour, not college of galour. I cannot fix the typo).
Difficult choice; nearly every Bard subclass has something great going for it.
Ultimately, I chose the “College of Spirits” for my favorite (despite it still being a UA subclass).
Swords is fun; Glamour is useful...but the Spirits Bard’s ability to summon literal spirits from stories is EXACTLY the sort of thing I’d do with a Bard.
The least favorite for me would be a Valor Bard...and I still like it (skalds are sweet). It’s a concept I would explore more with a Sword Bard, though...the martial proficiencies are what sell a Valor Bard at low levels; and unless I’m in the mood, I don’t typically do the heavily armored characters...and when I do, they typically end up being Fighters or Paladins.
Huh, looks like Valor has the least Favorite votes and is tied for most Least Favorite votes. I can see why, it's a half martial subclass, but Swords is more flavorful. Even if Swords is probably the least mechanically optimal subclass out of all of them, and I say this as someone who voted for Swords as their favorite. I think we all just love our Errol Flynn/Zorro Bards. I am surprised at how many people voted for Glamour as their Least Favorite. It's mechanically very strong and also have tons of flavor.

Anyone else unable to vote on both polls? Whenever I try and vote for least fave I am unable to do it. Just changes my vote for fave college again.
You cannot vote on two polls at once, for some reason.

Are you sure? I was able to vote on both of them
College of Galour is definitely my favourite, but it's only spelled that way in least favourite so I wasn't sure how to vote...

Sorry, that was a typo. It was supposed to be Glamour.

You can vote on both, just not at the same time.

Canto alla vita
alla sua bellezza
ad ogni sua ferita
ogni sua carezza!
I sing to life and to its tragic beauty
To pain and to strife, but all that dances through me
The rise and the fall, I've lived through it all!
