I prefer Riverside, I saw them in Poland on live concert, it was a magical night for me. Haken last album The Mountain is excellent!

Haken > Riverside > PoS


Though I'm basing my opinion of PoS on only hearing/having two albums, Perfect Element & Scarsick

Riverside - despite the detractors, I like the latest album!

Love the two Haken albums I have (last two), so it's close, but still have to vote Polish.

Never actually given PoS a try...


You should, at least to know them. The albums I've heard are brilliant too (Remedy Lane, Be, and The Perfect Element, so far).

Really hard one. I have just been getting into this bands since last year, and they are all great. Though I might still need to get even a bit more familiar with them to choose well. Still, everything I've heard from them is wonderful (though I still need to hear the later album from PoS, which seem to be a step down given the reviews). Still, I guess there is something a bit more special with the albums I've heard from PoS, so I'll be voting for them.

Out of those three it would be Riverside, but none of them are personal favorites.

I'm not a huge fan of any these bands, but The Mountain alone is enough of a reason to say Haken

In general: Riverside, but the best individual album I have heard by one of these bands is The Mountain.

I like all three, but I prefer Riverside.
When he rides, my fears subside.
For darkness turns once more to light.
Through the skies, his white horse flies.
To find a land beyond the night.

Riverside are just amazing, though I do like some Haken.

PoS for me; a very unique band with one of the best vocalists in music IMO.
A GREAT YEAR FOR PROG!!!

I don't mind Riverside and PoS but don't listen to either very often.  I don't care for Haken much at all.
