I spent an hour going through these and commenting on each choice I got to last night and still was not nearly done or happy with the results. Like various others, one that I gravitated particularly to was the Penguin Cafe Orchestra, which I already knew. For a new-to-me one, I really enjoyed Bunnies "Diamond Headspace" and will give that too a vote. The effort you have put into making these polls is appreciated.

Five videos were not available for me, among which the Penguin Cafe Orchestra. But I know that one and it gets my vote. Some other interesting tracks in the list, of which I especially liked Them Moose Rush and Giraffes? Giraffes - my other two votes.

I don't speak French and have never heard of that band, so no idea that it stood for Crazy sh*t, the White Wolf.  Good to know for future polls.

I doubt it.  I purposely kept the COVID tournament to 5 bands in hopes of getting participation and discussion and pretty much none of those threads made it past the first page other than with my multiple bumps to try and get peoples attention.  I might have to change my user name to Grumpyprogfantoo!  This site just seems to make me grumpy these days.

I'll participate. This is a great way to share music with others that they might never hear. I share your frustration and don't know how we get others to discuss something different. If we paid them?

25 songs is a bit much but would 10 bring more discussion???

That makes two of us.  The animals in this zoo are feeling lonely.  I guess 25 songs that nobody has ever heard is way too much for this site.  I know that I can't compete with British albums that have been talked to death or here are 25 albums of which you have heard two, so vote for your favorite.   It is just frustrating that we can't get any discussions going on anything other than the big 6 bands (and of course I always add Rush and call it the big 7, but that is my point of view).  Would more people participate if I kept this to 5 or 10 songs instead of 25?

As I suspected.  No Camel or no Porcupine Tree and this poll died a quick death.  Oh well.  That was a lot of wasted time and effort....at least I got to enjoy trying listening to some new stuff for me, so all was not lost.

I would highly recommend the Superluminal Pachyderm Off At Tangents song to Father Christmas and Psychedelic Paul...it might open their eyes to a few things.  LOL

Good choices.  I like those three.  I agree with the Riverside vibe on Lion Shepherd (they are from Poland), and the djent vibe on Bear is Driving.  I didn't pick up on the Neil Young guitar solo on Giraffes? Giraffes!.  I will have to give that song another listen and see if I can pick up on that.

Thanks. A lot of great music. These are my top three.

Lion Shepherd - Definite Riverside vibe/feel.
Bear is Driving - A djent vibe. Or is it 80's KC?
Giraffes? Giraffes - Loud song. Love the urgent Neil Young guitar solo.

Honorable mentions...Skyfox 8, Shave the Monkey, and Them Moose Rush (one of my favorite newer discoveries).
