Yes

Banco deserves some kind of consolation prize. They're too good not to win something.

No sense in waiting.. I know which way I was going to vote last week.

If it had been either of the other 4 Italian bigs.. they would have got my vote (PFM, Osanna) or would have been pulling teeth to decide (Area, Le Orme).  Banco is great, Yes just greater as far as personal enjoyment.  I think a lot breaks down to Yes flat out can rock and knock your shoes off and Banco simply doesn't with very few exceptions. 

Yes it is..

Banco are great, no doubt.
We lost their great front singer last year, RIP as Iván said.
As for vocalists, Banco would win easily.
But the mind blowing Yes compositions... my love for Yes is bigger, so they get my vote.

Let's not forget Vittorio Noccenzi......No matter how much I love Wakeman's music, the technique and the heart of Vittorio blows the grumpy old man from the stage.

Guys like Wakeman, Emerson or Banks, are amazing Prog Rock keyboardists, guys like Vittorio or Moraz are real virtuosos who can play or write anything with the same class.

Francesco's passing was a huge loss for progressive rock. As much as I love Yes, this time I am going to go patriotic and vote for Banco. Their early albums are masterpieces, and would have been huge if the band had come from an English-speaking country.
