From the Jazz Rock/Fusion conference we have one of its greatest and most loved bands From the US. WEATHER REPORT From the mighty Symphonic Conference we have one of most loved of all sympo bands! From England RENAISSANCE!!! Vegas oddsmakers have installed Renaissance as a 15 vote favorite but can Weather Report pull the upset. One is likely if the instrumental freaks turn out in force to vote over the beauty of Renaissance ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

I have been into both bands for a very long time but my passion for Weather Report has been waning lately. Plus I love Annie. ------------- a.k.a. H.T. http://riekels.wordpress.com" rel="nofollow - http://riekels.wordpress.com |

I do have a lot of time for Renaissance's classic albums, but Weather Report appeal more to my current tastes - so they get my vote. |

Renaissance have a handful of fantastic moments, and Weather Report has been little more than background music to me. I'll go with Renaissance. ------------- My other avatar is a Porsche It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle if it is lightly greased. -Kehlog Albran |

Curveball of a poll, here! I love WR and Jaco/Josef/AJ (etc.), but each band excels at what they do to staggering degrees. I'm inclined to vote for WR but these two bands couldn't be more dissimilar. I'll sit this one out. ------------- https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_ipg=50&_sop=1&_rdc=1&_ssn=musicosm" rel="nofollow - eBay |

In this poll Renaissance. IMO, there's no way Renaissance should be beating Strawbs in the other poll. ------------- A GREAT YEAR FOR PROG!!! |

| A hard one. Birdland is one of the great fusion standards, but in general WR don't do it for me like the other fusion greats do. Renaissance might pull past. But Jaco... |
