Gong is still in the lead General Micky's intelligence officer just informed him that G.I.A blackmailed at least 2 members who haven't voted yet..it seems they were caught listening to pop Genesis albums...and upon threat on being exposed here for their crimes against the prog world they will be voting for Gong by the end of the contest.

Micky, I'm not sure you can trust them! Listening to Genesis Pop albums is not considered a crime against Prog by all members of PA and they may feel they can come out of the closet and weather the storm(bringer). I'm not sure we can count these votes until they come out of the bush (of ghosts) and are in our hands!

Yes will win, in any Prog Forum, Yes and Genesis can only be beaten by Yes or Genesis, maybe Crimson, but not one else.
I love Yes music dearly, but can't stand Jon Castrato voice, neither his pseudo mystical lyrics.
If Trevor Horn would had vbeen the vocalist I would had voted for Yes until the final
I guess you've been hating Anderson's vocals for far too long (for longer than I have known prog, I would guess, at the very least), but perhaps trying to ignore the vocals and focusing on the music would help to come to enjoy Yes music more... and then perhaps you could find Anderson's vocals more tolerable. For my part, I really don't like Gabriel's singing, nor his pseudo comic lyrics, but I really like lot's of Genesis music, so I enjoy it for what it is, and on those songs that I have come to love neither the vocals, nor the lyrics (mostly) annoy me much anymore.

I tried to ignore Jon for 30 years, but his voice is like a painful whistle in my ears
Gabriel pseudo comic lyrics?
- Fountain of Salmacis
- Musical Box
- In the Cage
- Get 'em Out by Friday
- Giant Hogweed
- Watcher of the Skies
99.99999% of Gabriel lyrics have no relation with comedy, most are deep, intelligent and coherent.

Yes were already spluttering by the early 80s (despite the commercial success of 90125) whereas Gong had splintered into the wider Gong family from Allen's solo albums, Hillage and System 7 as well as the wonderful fusion of Moerlen's incarnation of the band (to name but a few). Only Anderson seems to be similarly creative (i.e. 'Deseo'). Gong continue to produce sporadic but creative albums and although I am a huge Yes fan, I really wished they had followed a similar path. The squabbling over the years has also been unseemly...
