From the Neo Prog Conference we have its long time champion and fresh from its crushing victory over Voivod in the 1st round.

From England

MARILLION!!



From the Folksie Conference we have its long time champion and decisive winner over Osanna Angry in the 1st round.

From England

JETHRO TULL!!!




Vegas nearly took this off the board out of respect to the Neo's but simply couldn't.  Tull is a 40 vote favorite.
Can ..umm.. can Marillion cover? We shall see! LOL

Tull -- the genuine article. Marillion? Wan imposters.

Never been a big Tull fan. But I always liked Marillion with Fish (and that despite I don't like Neo Prog i general).

So, first vote for Marillion then! Smile

While I love Clutching at Straws and to a lesser extent Misplaced Childhood - in the end Tull by a country mile...

I should vote against Tull.. they and their fans are on my semi-sh*t list.

but I'd get laughed out of PA's if I was ever found to vote for Marillion (ahem Neo). Plus Marillion never did anything quite as delicious as Tull's first 3 albums.

Have begun to enjoy some of the Fishing in the Marillion river of late, but its Tull easily for me.

Pfft, give me my Neo over Tull any day.  Neo provided an important transition when there was almost no prog and since then has morphed into something far different from it's roots.



The atmosphere and sweeping majesty is a far better representation of where Neo in general and Marillion specifically has gone.  If you've never heard the song, make sure you get to the five minute mark for a real feel for what the genre has become.  Give me this over Tull any day.  Steve Rothery is one of the most underrated guitarists of the day.

Tull easily, the run of albums from Aqualung through Heavy Horses is outstanding.

Hmmm...I hear indistinct vocals, bland keyboards and run-of-the-mill guitar leads. Of course, my idea of "atmosphere and sweeping majesty" is probably a bit different:
 
 
Show me a similarly grand 7+ minute sequence in a Marillion song, and I'll show you several more from Tull.
 
Sorry, just causing some competitive causticness.

I liked the Fish era a lot, but JT is another story.

Much though I love Tull, Marillion are just better in both their manifestations.

I like these bands equally, but I just listened to Fugazi earlier today, so Marillion it is.
