^ LOL

The obvious choice. You can still vote, though, if you write enough posts before the poll is closed.

PF have had an easy way to the final compared to KC. I wonder what would have happened if PF and VdGG or GG swapped places in the first round. Probably we would have VdGG/GG or Rush (or maybe Zappa?) in the final, meeting either PF or KC.

I see the reason why the bands were grouped as they were, but I think the result would have been different if they were seeded another way. Anyway, it’s just for fun, and though I voted PF here, KC will be my choice in the final.

Rush, but that's because I'm a fan of progressive music.  

(Sorry I've been an endlessly broken record on this point.  Stuck in my groove.  Stuck in my groove.  Stuck in my groove.)  If Floyd had stopped at Atom then I'd have given the matter a second consideration.

A couple of weeks ago I'd chooce Pink Floyd. But then I watched Beyond the lightened stage, so Rush is an obvious answer for me at the moment. Both fantastic bands, though.

Much as I love Rush, it has to be The Floyd.

Normally, I'd shoot myself before making a choice like this.  I like both bands equally - I mean, PRECISELY equally - but, I guess I'll go with Floyd, if only because three PF albums place in my all time top ten favorites, whereas not a single Rush album does.

I will give that Rush are more skilled musicians but they are not as good in songwriting, lyrics and singing and they are not ahead of their times like Barrett, Waters and Gilmour were, so Floyd easily imo.

It was a tough decision actually.

Not life or death. Just tough relatively.
