MY band? I'm not a goshdarn member of Riverside (not that I voted for Riverside. I withheld my vote). I don't care how much money most bands make or how many popularity polls they win. I'm not here playing rhythm guitar for Pain of Salvation, am I? Why should I feel as if I'm a part of their 'team'?
And, on that note, why do you feel like you're a part of Steve Wilson's team? You aren't writing songs with him and singing a vocal harmony, now are you? All you've ever done is (I suppose) buy some of his work and, therefore, make him a bit more money (possibly). These are only a bit of argumentative fun for me.

When it comes to bands making music that make me happy. Porcupine Tree is number One, and Riverside is number with a bullet. DT a close number Three. All three of these bands leave me earthbound though, compared to Yes and Jethro Tull. But Anderson and Anderson don't make 'em like they used to.

How did Riverside end up here?
Anyway, PT is the obvious winner of this contest but a finale between PT and Mars Volta or something would have had more appeal.

Well, the main problem with this tournament is that it's the same persons that got PT and Riverside to the final. The modern prog scene is pretty much centered around progressive metal, which means that the fans aren't as mixed when it comes to newer prog.
I remember the tournament from last year, that had bands from all ages of prog. It felt much more like a competition. Since it wasn't really the same persons who got King Crimson and Pink Floyd to the final. In this final we only have like 40 persons choosing between two of their favorites, which is why the final ended up this uninteresting.

By "40 persons" you mean "86 and counting", which is a decent turnout based on the other polls in the competition.
Plus if you just peg PT with the prog metal tag you're missing a substantial and very important chunk of their career - more or less everything pre-In Absentia, in fact, so over half of their stuff.

My vote goes to Porcupine Tree.
They completely destroyed all of their opponents in this tournament by a large margin.

So you're voting for them because they're winning?
