From the symphonic conference (really?) we have one of the most influential artists of the 70's also responsible for one of the 70's most beloved and seminal prog albums From Sweden Bo Hansson (rip  )From the experimental post metal (post metal? really WTF is that?) we have a group.. who.. bah. I know nothing of them. They are said to be important so I included them. From the US Maudlin of the Well Vegas odds makers have this as a tossup thinking this contest might be raged along generational lines. ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

| Show some love for maudlin, though I have gained a massive amount of respect for Bo. In the end, Leaving Your Body Map and Bath are just too good. Plus they swapped covers. |

Okay this one is hard. I only have one Maudlin album though so Bo by default. A close one though. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

This poll is just hilarious. Nice little praise and commentary on the Symph album then a semi-bash with no information for Maudlin. Must be an amazing symph album then, to be topping a band of such a high caliber like Maudlin, right? Listen for 4 minutes and i hear annoying keyboards sounds, like always, and sounds like it could be used for an 80's video game soundtrack. Just funny how different people view/hear things. ------------- Crushed like a rose in the riverflow. |

That Bo Hanssen track wasn't half bad, but motW is one of my favorites. ------------- https://dreamwindow.bandcamp.com/releases" rel="nofollow - My Music

| Hansson's genre sounds more like my genres than Bo's, but... don't really dig Bo, and Maudlin Of The Well shines here! |

Bo. That's a nice track by motW, but I saw them live and they were not able to replicate their nuanced moments. Save for five whole minutes, it was a continuous wall of sound with terrible singing and too many hats in the ring.

Indeed, it was. Unfortunately, it made me think their magic didn't translate into a live setting. LYBM and Bath had gotten my hopes up a bit, too. ------------- https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_ipg=50&_sop=1&_rdc=1&_ssn=musicosm" rel="nofollow - eBay |

Not really fan of any of them, actually I haven't dug their music deep enough, so no vote this time. ------------- Follow me on twitter @memowakeman |

I find that a bit surprising. I saw Kayo Dot a few years ago and they were amazing, nailed all aspects of the music, I know only Driver and Terran Olson were, at the time, the only two in both bands but you'd think Toby would be all over that. Then again, the "sound engineers" at most of these small venues couldn't be more clueless if they tried. ------------- Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005

I'm sure KD is a different animal, but the night I saw motW they had no female vocals, the bassist had an injury, and Terran was completely drowned out by Toby's and Greg's guitars. There was nothing "astral" about the "metal" I experienced that evening. ------------- https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_ipg=50&_sop=1&_rdc=1&_ssn=musicosm" rel="nofollow - eBay |
