1st round eliminations: Tool, Opeth, Camel
2nd round eliminations: Dream Theater, Rush, ELP

Gentle Giant gets my vote. I'm surprised Porcupine Tree made it this far.

Yup. I thought Rush would be the 4th semifinalist.

In a way I'm glad PT made it this far, personally I think they're underrated sometimes. But, the winner has to be VDGG.

This is a tough one... Can I vote for everyone who isn't Gentle Giant?

Besides, the thread name is somewhat misleading. In my opinion, that´s a battle of journeymen. Genuine masters of Prog were eliminated unfortunately.
By the way, only one giant here is Gentle Giant by the name.  |

Jethro Tull, easily for me. I'm surprised to see them last on the poll.
