This.
Open your eyes, it's full of surprise, everyone lies,
like the fox on the rocks,
and the musical box.

I'm shocked Riverside won ...  Objectively speaking, they've never done anything close to as musically accomplished as BE for example. Subjectively speaking, they've never written anything emotionally engaging and certainly not the level of songs like "The Perfect Element" or "Beyond the Pale" imo.

Poll's over.  The winner of R2D13 of Battle of the Prog Bands is Riverside.  They will now move onto Round 3, and Pain of Salvation is out of the tournament.  See you at the next match of Battle of the Prog Bands!

Wow, big win for Riverside, I really didn't see that one coming.

I have contrary remarks. After Be I had finished my short adventure with PoS. It seemed to be too pretentious and like puffed-up balloon for me.
So obviously went with Riverside.


Well that's true... they really have been developing somekind of pretentious atmosphere through the years. but you can't deny that they're brilliant musicians and their concepts are really deep

This is a toughy really. Both bands are huge and deserve every respect. But I have to go with Riverside in the end. These guys are simply sensational !
A day without prog is a wasted day

No vote for me - I've heard no Pain of Salvation, and nothing about Riverside really impressed me when I listened to them.

I've tried for years to get into POS and they just do absolutely nothing for me. Not a thing. I find the praise heaped on them rather baffling, to be honest. I like Daniel's contributions to Ayreon, Transatlantic live and the Hammer Of The Gods tribute show, but POS.... nope, just can't like them, and I wish I could. I've tried. Riverside don't blow my socks off either but they're pretty good, I can enjoy them a bit more.

Riverside it is. Sorry, POS fans, I know they are the center of your world... but the rest of us scratch our heads, to be honest.
