Yes, too many of the old prog fans who liked classic prog have given up on this site.

I like all of Wobbler's lp's......the new one is fantastic,  but we are talking about Zappa ....and in the end he has a larger and better catalog at this point. 
Maybe in 5 years we can see how they compare.

Will depends which bands the op wanted to see in the finals.

Band X had more votes than band Y but the comments for band Y were more suitable to me so they will win the cheesy world cup.


Said the man with the cheesy ninja-turtle -like avatar (btw, you do have an active participation in these threads for a person who considers this as cheesy)

Cheesy ninja-turtle?  Don't say that too loud or that ninja-turtle's little nephew Shiro will gut us all with a samurai sword LOL

I am not the biggest fan of Uncle Frank but he has such a wide body of excellent, innovative, influential and high-quality music that I cannot vote the relative upstarts of Wobbler ahead of him.  FZ it is.

Today I was thinking that same thing. No more metalheads as well. Opeth would have kicked Can's ass five years ago here. Same Riverside with UZ.

We'll see. In the meantime I can say that the rest of the pairings for quarterfinals are the following:

PFM- Focus
Yes- Univers Zero
Can- Rush

Well Opeth is one thing. But prog overall, prog metal is alive and well in my collection and rotation.  

Had Dream Theater or Fates Warning been the representative from the U.S., I'd gladly ride either of them much further than I'd stick with Zappa... at least until they ran into Yes or Rush.

Well I guess that's the end for UZ and Can, that's a pity.

I don't know anything about this 'Wobbler' .. but 62 albums and most of it high quality, that's a win against anyone in my book. Go Frank, take this thing.

Absolutely. Neither would have been close.

It's recently become almost a RIO/Avant site, not a classic prog site. I haven't noticed Universe Zero being asked to play NEARfest or Night of the Prog (where Riverside have played 4 times).

Neither of them would have been anywhere near the quarter finals 5 years ago.

For UZ, quite likely. I wouldn't be that confident as regards the other pairing. Bubu, which is on paper an inferior competitor than Can, put up some real fight against Rush last round. We'll see.

Less active members participating as well. Look at the results of one of the similar polls I held 7 years ago. 58-57

ahh... take note of the losers and crybabies.. entertaining but they are right. This is not the same site it once was that acne scarred and pussy challenged prog fans run amuk with their Rush and DT fandom.

remember what happened Rush got matched up against a great group, but complete underdog.

http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=100456

Rush got bitchslapped and as a plus.. we did get one of the great forum quotes EVER!!!

"I had no idea there were so many Le Orme fans here.

C'MON GUYZ IT'S RUSH GEEZ

Where was Le Orme when you were squeezing pimples in your teenage bathroom, looking for guidance to summon the courage to approach that pretty girl in your class?  Who but Neil Peart could give you the courage to say THE HELL WITH GIRLS I'M GONNA WITHDRAW INTO MY FANTASY WORLD ?

Hahaha, now I take it personal and feel the need to set the record straight. In my case, of course I voted Opeth against Can. But I also went with UZ against Riverside.

I do come back to Out Of Myself and SLS from time to time. But they bored the hell out of me after those releases. While I never get tired of Heresie, Uzed, Heatwave, etc.

Ehm.... http://https://www.setlist.fm/festival/2004/nearfest-2004-3d6a117.html

It actually was UZ's first appearance in the US - the second being their legendary show at the French Embassy in September 2010, with Miriodor as openers. As you can see from this 2004 lineup, one of NEARfest's strengths was its varied lineups. In 2006, your beloved Riverside shared the stage with Guapo, among others. In my opinion, the really great festivals - such as NEARfest, ProgDay and Progtoberfest in Chicago - offer a wide range of sounds that can appeal to different kinds of people.

Anyway, since UZ were formed in the late Seventies, I believe they were closer to the classic prog era than the likes of Riverside or Big Big Train.
