This site is a gold mine for retro symph fans.
I am 100% certain that the winners of this will be either The Flower Kings or somebody equally intolerable and retro sounding.

My guess is either Porcupine Tree or Marillion win.

I'd love Marillion to win. Though i'd know in reality people would be voting for Fugazi and that neo-prog stuff and not the great original sounding albums that followed.

The finals will probably be Porcupine Tree vs Opeth. Porcupine Tree will win.
That's my opinion, of course.

If I had to guess the semifinalists, I'd say:
Porcupine Tree- Marillion
Riverside- Opeth (perhaps Transatlantic instead of Opeth... I hope not)
After that, anything can happen.

PoS is one of the few Metal related bands I really like. But Anglagard is almost unbeatable in my book.

Anglagard and me do not connect, so POS (although it's quite a long time ago that they produced something decent)

I totally agree. I followed Marillion in the early 80s and saw them at the Marquee and various other venues around that time up to the Misplaced Childhood gig at Hammersmith Odeon. However, it gradually dawned on me that they were just not up to the job. Move forward to the late 90s where I finally found, in Spock's Beard and The Flower Kings a couple of bands that were comparable to the bands that I'd grown up with in the 70s. The Flower Kings are easily my favourite band from the past 15 years and, like you, I'd never compare them to Marillion becase there is no comparison in terms of musical ability a compositional skill.
