Where the heck else would they be? Tongue

That place you don't like. LOL

Oh yeah, that place. Lol. Maybe. There's probably also more Magma, Gentle Giant, Univers Zero and RIO fans in general over there too. 

Yes there are! LOLClap

I like both bands but prefer PT so they get the vote.

He made a topic asking to have his account deleted soon after his first comment here, but we don't tend to delete accounts (can cause issues), and instead I suspended his account permanently and banned him. So yeah, he didn't last long at all or try to last. I could understand him being upset by certain remarks made after his first post (of course his first post was likely to be ridiculed), but since David (Guldbamsen) had been quite diplomatic (tongue smiley aside - lol) and explanatory, I felt his attitude was particularly deplorable. He didn't wish to remain a member of this site and this site in turn benefits from his absence.

As for the topic question: I prefer Eloy. I especially like the albums Inside and Floating. I quite like mid-90's PT, and quite enjoyed Deadwing, but never really got into the band.

Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before. It can be much like that with music for me.

Well, that's good. Start off by insulting people. I didn't see any post warranting such a response from him.

It absolutely was not warranted. A ban was a very easy decision.

PT but I love "Floating" and "Inside" by ELOY. Some of ELOY's vocals are terrible though but not on the early albums thankfully.

I actually need to discover Eloy more. The vocals never bothered me too much on the albums I have heard(silent cries, ocean, p&p). I know most of PT but since I don't know both bands equally I won't vote. 

Btw, welcome back!

Thankyou and I take it back. One of my earliest shocks I guess you could say when I discovered Prog was hearing "Ocean" for the first time and actually feeling embarrassed about the strong accent, it just seemed so lame. In time I also got used to them to the point I can put it on without it bothering me. Still prefer the early ones though.

I prefer P. Tree, which is funny because I usually prefer prog from before the 80s.
