Then wouldn't that be a vote for "I don't know both bands well enough to vote?"

agreed although I'm not sure they fit the poll idea and sadly have only released 4 albums. That said perhaps we could do a John Mitchell poll? Arena v Frost* v Lonely Robot v Kino v It Bites? I would need to check what other bands he's been in, there must be quite a few!

Not as many as you might think. Other than those it looks like he has been in two others A(yep that's the name of the band just A) and the Urbane. He's played with other bands as a guest such as Blind Ego and Gandalf's Fist but Arena, Frost, Lonely Robot and It Bites are the main ones as far as prog is concerned. He also played with John Wetton apparently.
 

thanks for the info Smile

Good question.
I have a number of Arena albums, so, to me, they're a known quantity.

I was referring to Enchant who you said you didn't know. I think it makes sense for people to only vote for a band if they are familiar with both bands and not just one(otherwise the "I don't know both bands well enough" option).

Enchant. Both are not top tiers for me, and though Arena has John Mitchell, I think his talent is not fully utilized in the band. Enchant, though has less records, are a little more consistent, so they get my vote.

Listening to Arena is like hearing two cats fighting in the alley at midnight. Unbearable, really. Never have heard Enchant, but they have to be better than their opponent here, right?

If Arena are 2 cats fighting in an alley at midnight then Enchant is a cat having a snooze Wink

Geekfreak, asking as a form member, please consider slowing down with bumping old polls. It makes it harder to follow active discussions and to follow the newest topics, especially for those who use the "Latest Forum Posts" feature to follow the discussions. Personally, I'd rather see a little more time, thought and substance go into each post rather than many posts which say very little.
Just a fanboy passin' through.
