Post 70's Prog WC: Anglagard- Pain Of Salvation

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.

I still believe that Änglagärd can reach the finals.

Hmm I would have expected Pain of Salvation to win.

Pain of salvation

If I had to guess the semifinalists, I'd say:

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.

Don't say that, i'll explode.

On the other hand POS has numerous albums, all different and amazing. Could it be fanboys on here are a little fickle. Until the last couple of albums PoS could do no wrong. The fact that they keep on changing is a good thing, afterall it is called progressive rock?
