 No idea who or how one could be preferred from one another objectively. I like to see and hear the best album from everyone, so I mange to squeeze a Dream Thater and Opeth release (not sure if either are the classic release, Memory and Damnation - if there is such a thing. Why describe these bands as disgusting? They are good creative artists doing a pretty fine job at making music.

Yet to find (or even look) for a Tori Amos release. I don't even have her and Plant''s cover of Down By The Seaside.

One thing I do find is the standard of releases from men versus women artists. Hate to say it (un PC, unreconstructed chauvinist I am I know) but I tried e.g. Maggie Reilly's solo albums (f8nally) after being long acquainted with her work with Mike Oldfield. Very disappointed with these. Yet so many female singers / bands just don't have what it takes to be Yes, Rush etc. Yet classical music has so many good female musicians. Why not prog or jazz... sorry going off topic. But that's a side effect of the prog poll.

either way this is another stupid f**king poll. People really need to stop posting polls that are this stupid, especially in a prog forum. i sort of assumed there wouldn't be many NIN fans here, considering not many people have heard the vast array of trent reznors music. Give all his cd's a listen and you will get why he is on the the site. So many concept albums, and progressively structured songs.
P.S. If you are gonna have discusting sh*t like dreamtheatre and opeth on here without making a hate forum, then dont bother disliking NIN's as you in the eyes of a "REAL" prog lover are already disreguarded.

lolwut? This makes less sense than a Moshkito post.

Neither one.  Please stop expanding the definition of  Progressive Music to encompass everything before Prog stands for Nothing.

"No one dared
No one cared
To tell me where the pretty girls are
Those demigods
With their nine-inch nails
And little fascist panties
Tucked inside the heart
Of every nice girl" Tori Amos

I can't have one without the other.
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Although i don't really agree with either being here at least in a full-blown prog genre (but that's besides the point)
 
 
 
 
I kind of like both of them, actually!!
 
Even if NIN owes much to Front 242, I'll give it the nod over TA.
 
Because Tori Amos owes almost everything to Kate Bush >>> except that she's much more a one-dimensional artiste >>> basically a piano singer/songwriter
let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

Yeah, much better to keep it so narrowly defined that it becomes a dead art.
