From the mighty Symphonic Conference we have Genesis!!!
Also from the mighty symphonic Conference we have... Renaissance!!
Vegas oddmakers have installed Genesis as a 20 vote favorite. Does Renaissance have it in them to keep it close and perhaps cover the spread. My money isn't on it that is for sure . However we shall see!

Do I get some kind of an "Early Voter" button?
I suspect the playing field here is heavily tilted towards Genesis, but I have voted for Renaissance, and here is why:
Renaissance must be one of the least irritating bands on this Planet. At the same time I can't think of a single Genesis album that doesn't bother me in some way. Their older albums feel too lengthy. I find their 1980s albums mildly boring. The Invisible Touch, strangely, would be my favorite Genesis album, but the all-pervading drum machine imparts a faint "cheesy" odor to it .
Everyone knows what Ms. Haslam singing is like; no need to expound any further. At the same time PG vocals is not something I would like to hear, if I can help it; not sure why, though. Phil Collins is more agreeable, but his overall showmanship style feels "too cute" at times

I like that. It is so true.. Renaissance does have to be one of the .. if not THE least offensive group in all prog. Personally I consider listening to them like eating sweets... very yummy.. but if you do too much of them.. your goddamn teeth will fall out.

Yeah...mixed with a few more of the slightly edgy tracks like Trip..., they would have been more rounded out. Anyway, nice to see early support for the underdog. I do like Genesis way more but tired of seeing them win polls all the time. Let's have some fun.

I feel the exact opposite. While I dig the occasional musical outburst from them, I start crawling the walls whenever Annie opens her mouth. I find that extremely irritating.
