It's probably because I wasn't in the right state of mind when I tried Henry Cow. They din't impress me and I skipped some tracks. With Magma it never happened, to skip anything.
Magma
Curiosity killed a cat, Schroedinger only half. My poor home recorded stuff at https://yellingxoanon.bandcamp.com

I only recently started listening to Henry Cow, and I'm not a hardcore Magma head like a lot of people on this website, but from what I've heard, I prefer Magma.
Not voting this round because I know nothing about Henry Cow.
I've got a question, though... how did Riverside beat Dream Theater?!?! That's crazy... first of all, I like Dream Theater more... they have some really awesome albums (granted, some quite mediocore ones), LOADS of albums (compared to Riverside) plus they're a much more popular band (I hadn't heard of Riverside till about a year ago).
Not that I don't like Riverside, I just think Dream Theater are more deserving of "best prog band in history" (though they shouldn't have won), I just don't think Riverside are that deserving. They've only released 3 albums... (4 if you count the EP)

I dunno. Just seems weird to me.
DT has quite a few haters here, so many of them voted for Riverside just so DT wouldn't win (but I do think they were all familiar with Riverside's music). It was still very close as you would imagine, and DT actually got ahead after I ended the poll.

DT haters kind of annoy me. A lot of them I know of are just the complete epitome of proggy elitism. Even when a band is as proggy as Dream Theater, because they're popular they see them as inferior somehow...
Well... rant over. It doesn't really matter that much, as I doubt they would have won. Judging by a lot of surveys/polls on this site, Genesis are going to win by a million votes.

I just don't understand DT haters, I understand that you can not especially like a band but hate them? and why? 'cause they are popular? One thing is that you cannot denie the fact that they are really talented and creative.
