From the fusion conferencewe have one of the most impressive collections of talent ever to see vinyl.

From the U.S.

RETURN TO FOREVER!!!



From the crossdressing conference we have one the most popular and influential groups in todays progressive rock scene.

From England

RADIOHEAD!!!!



Vegas oddmakers have installed Radiohead as a 15 vote favorite but can RTF pull off the upset?  It depends on the anti-Radiohead faction.  We shall see.

Radiohead, I'm a RTF fan & enjoy a lot of their stuff but Radiohead are one of the top 10 bands all-time for me, everything from Ok Computer onwards is good to great.

Radiohead all the way. Even if their presence here has always been a source of controversy, their influence on MODERN progressive rock has been huge. Kid A in particular has become a big fave of mine in the past couple of years, while - try as I might - I have never managed to get into Return to Forever.

Radiohead for me.

Talent is only part of the equation.  The ability to do something with it counts more.  Radiohead connects, RTF only impresses.

I like The Bends and OK Computer, but I don't find Radiohead's music endearing or memorable. I still listen to Romantic Warrior nearly 40 years after its release.

I've never really been into either of them, but neither one really rubs me the wrong way either.  Just a matter of not choosing to spend enough time to acquaint myself beyond an album or two.  I think the responsible thing to do would be to abstain, as much as I'd like to pull for the underdog.

Not a giant fan of RTF but I do enjoy it. There is very little of Radiohead's catalogue I enjoy and have always been mystified by the godhead placed on O.K. Computer and Kid A. Have never even been able to listen to either of those all the way through. Return to Forever it is!

Radiohead, and they are making music these days that really impress me, very experimental.

Radiohead. Their entire catalogue has been close to my heart since the same time I got into Floyd and started the long journey to this place. Not just the titanic OK Computer and Kid A, but the electro-experimental Amnesiac and the back to some basics In Rainbows are favourites of prog for me, and The Bends is nothing to sneeze at.

As for Return, love the first four, but Romantic Warrior leaves me in the Arctic. And nowhere near as loved by me or as world shattering.

I do love the two first RTF-albums where Flora Purim is singing but Radiohead has been an important band for me ever since Kid A.

I don't like Radiohead despite many listens over a prolonged period of years so voted RTF.

Radiohead. I just prefer their type of music over Jazz-Fusion.
A GREAT YEAR FOR PROG!!!

Love both bands but I'll give RTF the edge here because of their first two albums, especially the debut which is a very special album to me.
