True but I have to say that. I’m not a fan of GG! The band do absolutely nothing for me! I’m voting for Burford |

^^ Five percent more solid I presume.
True, I was just thinking that "Five Percent for Nothing At All" would make for a nifty title, maybe with Rush's "Something for Nothing" thrown in. Five Percent for Something or for Nothing At All" or just "Something for Nothing at All" without the Yes. Nothing wrong with "Five Percent for Nothing". What can be interesting to me in such polls is how many people seem to vote for their favourite band (and what is known to them) rather then comparing the two pieces. Nothing at all wrong with either choice in my opinion, despite this being a very unbalanced pairing. And in this case both are well-known in Prog circles. Edited by Logan - June 17 2021 at 12:06 |

You guys are missing the point, this is PA, there are no rules, logic is forbidden, and Rush may or may not be prog depending on where we are in the zodiac procession at this moment .

Either way GG is going to win. Anything else from the Fragile album would have stood a better chance.

5%... The GG track not one I'm too fond of. On the other hand, 5%... I really like it in its own merit.
Nicely said. |

I have to wonder the same thing. There's not a lot you can say about Bruford's thing really, except the title is funny.

Just to be clear, you're asking us to choose between a 38 second bit of filler with an actual instrumental track around 4.40 in length?
Why? Anyway, this may be the only time I vote for GG over Yes, but the Boys in the Band is reasonably listenable, compared to much of their ear twisting twaddle |

I love Yes but it's not even close. I'm sure even Bill Bruford would agree that boys in the band is better. Lol.

GG, but that little Yes piece could have been something if they had expanded it. Even if they just kept doing what they were doing for another three minutes.

My father said The Boys in The Band reminds him of a Frank Zappa backing band.
I don't think he realizes that still a compliment lol.

"Five Per Cent For Nothing" is nice for what it is but doesn't really develop into anything. "Boys In The Band" it is for me.
