Listening to Wobbler right now for the first time (the album From Silence To Somewhere). Quite impressive actually. My first thought is, it might as well have been released in the 70's, but that is not meant as a criticism.

Zappa is a legend.
Wobbler's records (all four of them) beat anything Zappa ever did after WOIIFTM. WOBBLER!!!

He neither drank, smoked, nor rode a bicycle. Living frugally, saving his money, he died early, surrounded by greedy relatives. It was a great lesson to me -- John Barrymore

Don't know Wobbler / never heard of him/her. That only leaves one person, so no competition, no vote.

Bit late to the party, but Frank Zappa. He is a bit hit or miss for me, but I do love plenty of his stuff.
This is one of my favourites of his. |

Seriously speaking, I wonder how many of of those who describe RIO/Avant as "hitting a saucepan over your head with a wooden spoon" (nice description, I have to admit) have ever listened to any of the bands included in that section. Though I won't deny there are quite a few noisy and dissonant ones, many of them have very structured compositions that feature a lot of melody. I would recommend listening to one of the 21th century's greatest albums so far - Avanti! by French Canadian band Miriodor. When they opened for Univers Zero at the French Embassy in DC in 2010, a lot of people who normally have very little time for Avant stuff came expressly to see them. This must mean something.

Camel are definately division one. ELP had some better tracks but consistently produced stinkers as well...so Camel wins on average quality...

bah... with Hercules... you just have to pick and choose and I knew Auntie Raff wanted him strung up after that stupid post of his. Besides.. call it it what is is.. that excellent group of his beat my excellent group twice. Camel might be a 4th division band.. but they did beat the mighty ELP twice head to head. Go figure...
I do swear I (and ELP) will have revenge before I leave this site.
I do see a reprise of my battle of the bands and albums contest coming back next year and into the the next. celebrating the 15 yr anni of some of us long timers here. Plus that last contest was such a damn blast. I read back through some of those old contest threads last night... man this forum is f**king dead today.. we used to have some real sharp and witty people here with personalities ....and it was a reminder of how much fun forum used to be. |

^The only real question in these polls is:
How the hell did you let a statement like "Camel are excellent" go by without brandishing your cat o' nine tails? I had my popcorn ready and everything. |

oh yeah... the classic groups always rule these contests. Sorry.. Wobbler and Riverside ain't f**king classic. The fun can be in the early stages but when it comes to the last standing.. it is always the same and they hoard all the PA's Trophy's. And none own more trophies than the mighty Yes.

Does anyone really think that Yes isn't going to run away with this whole thing easily? Might as well give them the crown now. |

I've had the temptation of voting for Wobbler, but I really can't...

Wow - tough decision before coffee . . . I know they won't make it, but the nod goes to Wobbler for this one.
