From the awesomenous that is the Heavy Prog conference we have one of the great 90's recitalist bands

From Sweden

ANEKDOTEN!!!!



From the Eclectic Conference we have one of the greatest of the 2nd tier greats.

From England

VAN DER GRAAF GENERATOR!!!!!



Vegas oddsmakers have installed VDGG as a 25 vote favorite. Can Anekdoten pull the upset or keep it close? We shall see!!

This one is much harder than the other one from the same bracket. Still I vote for Van der Graaf Generator, though Anekdoten can stand against many bands.

Much respect for Anekdoten but any band would have a tough time against the mighty VDGG.

Kind of a tossup but Anekdoten squeaks by

Anekdoten is a top three band for me so that's my pick even if they have no chance here. I love VDGG too and would even go on to say they deserve to win here because of what Atkingani says, their history.

Though I have a lot of time for VDGG, and respect their history and contribution to the development of progressive rock, I enjoy Anekdoten's music a bit more - so the Swedes get my vote.

LOL Anekdoten are merely plagiators of Red-era King Crimson, Van Der Graaf Generator comes as one of the most géniale band in history of rock.

This one is easy, I was never a fan of VDGG and what I consider comlexity for the sake of complexity.

I have to go with the Vikings, a newly discovered band that I simply love.

Ivan and I don't agree often, but he hit the nail on the head here.
