Atheist v. Cynic - wow
King Crimson v. Can - nooooooo, CAN can't get flattened first round!!
Sigur Ros v. Henry Cow - two other personal favorites butting heads
Magma v. Hawkwind - this sucks ass, not a good match up for Hawkwind

As long as the funky Camel is in it, it's a good tournament.
Looking forward to it. Smile

At least one humble vote for Le Orme please, as this is a lost battle obviously, or aren't their opponents the most popular canadian band?

I've never heard of Diablo Swing Orchestra before, not even seen their name mentioned anywhere on here. 
I usually don't like Prog Metal but I'll give them a listen, having seen some interesting reviews just now.

hah.

Nearfest...  one song caught the attention of..

a lover of tuneless wacky barely listenable avant music LOL

a damned Genesis fan Heart

a passionate K.C fan HeartHeart

and a massive fan of Willie Nelson Clap

it is the first band I'd recommend to 'non fans' of prog metal.  One that simply appeals to lovers of music. sh*t is seriously off the chart good and interesting as all hell.

Saturday is when I'll start it and run them for a week.. I haven't decided to do all 32 at once or do the first half one week the second half the next. Likely I'll split the first round into 2 1 week halves.

I can't see flooding the polls section with 32 polls all at once.

Camel v. Diablo Swing Orchestra - talk about stylistic differences  yeah almost to Yes-Death levels of differences. Easy vote there LOL
Pink Floyd v. Mike Oldfield - damn what did Oldfield do to deserve this fate?  Someone was going to be doomed I suppose to draw Floyd.
Atheist v. Cynic - wow  yeah.  This was the other one (along with Camel's location in the bracket) that was tempted to ignore the shear randomness of, but decided again not to mess with the fate of the D&D dice, besides it will at least ensure more PM groups than DT and Opeth are assured to move on to the second round. I know nothing of  the groups.  I am going to sample two clips, the more interesting one IMO will get my vote.
King Crimson v. Can - nooooooo, CAN can't get flattened first round!!  Upset special perhaps? They will have my vote at the very least.
Sigur Ros v. Henry Cow - two other personal favorites butting heads. HC all the way!
Magma v. Hawkwind - this sucks ass, not a good match up for Hawkwind BIG TIME SUCK ASSAGE.. I cried out loud when the dice gods allowed this matchup in the 1st round.
Dream Theater v. Caravan - will all the fanboys bludgeon Canterbury's finest?  or will the ghosts of the old Symphonic team run roughshod over the DT fanboys and the group as they did years ago....LOL

Univers Zero v. Gong - UZ for me but I'm going to lose a favorite.  Gong gets my vote, appreciate UZ, love Gong. UZ for me, adore that band, I'm fanatical
Return to Forever v. Radiohead - urgh I hope Radiohead can survive this.  I hope so as well, but suppose enough of the anti (not prog) factions will vote against on principal. Tough call and the Fusions Not Prog crowd may have an impact, I'll vote Radiohead
Camel v. Diablo Swing Orchestra - talk about stylistic differences  yeah almost to Yes-Death levels of differences. Easy vote there LOL I like Camel a lot but will probably go DSO
Pink Floyd v. Mike Oldfield - damn what did Oldfield do to deserve this fate?  Someone was going to be doomed I suppose to draw Floyd. I think I'll go Oldfield even though Floyd were my favorite band for 2 decades
Atheist v.

King Crimson v. Can - nooooooo, CAN can't get flattened first round!!  Upset special perhaps? They will have my vote at the very least. Crimson all day for me though I love CAN, I've got 27 KC albums, its a compulsion
Sigur Ros v. Henry Cow - two other personal favorites butting heads. HC all the way! Cow for me
Magma v. Hawkwind - this sucks ass, not a good match up for Hawkwind BIG TIME SUCK ASSAGE.. I cried out loud when the dice gods allowed this matchup in the 1st round. Think I'll go Hawkwind though not sure
Dream Theater v. Caravan - will all the fanboys bludgeon Canterbury's finest?  or will the ghosts of the old Symphonic team run roughshod over the DT fanboys and the group as they did years ago....LOL Caravan all day, hate DT
