Spock's Beard by a lot. Glass Hammer are technically excellent, but their music does little for me. The Beard, even with a few hiccups after Neal Morse left, have produced better music.

I like the Hammer but they're not in the same league as the Beard.

Spock's Beard only has one 5 star album for me, while Glass Hammer has two. However, the "weaker" material from SB is generally consistent in the 4 star area, while GH has quite a few in the 2-3 star range. I'll vote SB on consistency and on the majesty that is V, but I encourage folks to check out Shadowlands and Culture of Ascent.

Spock's Beard. Somehow a lot of Glass Hammer's work does not appeal to me.

I've been listening to Glass Hammer a lot more lately - just bought If and Culture of Ascent and love them both - but I think I still prefer Spock's Beard. As Epignosis mentioned, their music is just more consistent than GH, but I really like both bands. Another vote for SB.

I say Spock's Beard strictly because their music is good. The vocals, however, do not appeal to me.

If it was Neal Morse v Glass Hammer then I would vote Morse.
Spocks beard are just okay to me. Have some great moments but I struggle to really enjoy their music.
Glass Hammer on the other hand have made a trio of symphonic keyboard based prog albums that are among my favourites (Chronomotree, Lex Rex and Shadowlands). Their DVD's (Lex Live and Live at Belmont) are also way more fun than the one Spocks Beard DVD I have. Unfortunately GH's latest IF is not so much to my liking but they still get my vote for giving me so much more enjoyment than SB.

Although the Glass Hammer sound appeals to me, I have not heard a whole lot of their music (mostly early releases) that really grabbed me. Spock's Beard, on the other hand, I find consistently good, so SB it is.
