Obviously I know PFM much better than Popol Vuh, though what I have heard of the German band did resonate a lot with me. Unfortunately for Popol Vuh, my fellow Italians are not just a fantastic band (their set at NEARfest 2009 was one of the best concert experiences I have ever had), but they were essential in turning me on to prog when I was not yet a teenager. |

From what I've heard, Popol Vuh just aren't my thing. I love PFM. I think I've voted for all the Italian bands so far in this tournament. ------------- Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005

I would vote for PFM against everybody except Genesis, Kansas and maybe Anglagard Popol Vuh is fantastic, but PFM is THE Italian band. Iván -------------

Hosianna Mantra leaves me dry, but I always had the feeling that I'd love Popul Vuh's other albums. I like PFM too, so I'll have to give them each another listen before voting. ------------- https://dreamwindow.bandcamp.com/releases" rel="nofollow - My Music

As much as I love PFM's first three albums, they're still up against the first 13 of Popol Vuh's ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.” - Douglas Adams |

How could I not vote for PFM? L'Isola Di Niente is close to being my favorite album of all time. The first four albums are breathtaking. PFM all the way!

| Couldn't decide so I went with Popol to even it out. Both rule, but comparing their best material, Hosianna Mantra is probably more unique than Per Un Amico. |

Having only heard both these genres for the first time a couple of years ago, I fell head over heels for the RPI world at the first chords of listening to PFM's Per un Amico. Easy for me, PFM, even though I really enjoy the other. PS - Dave/Guldbamsen, that Avatar is disturbing....  -------------

PFM's high water mark is L'Isola di Niente imo. Oh and lied earlier on. I do like Chocolate Kings a bit, and the 2006 all instrumental prog by the numbers Stati di Immaginazione is actually very good for what it is..........but like I said earlier on, all in all, PFM is no match for perhaps the most consistent string of albums made by any 70s artist. I have everything up to and including Die Nacht der Seele and they're all fantastic. I've heard the two subsequent albums are just as good making this a string of 15 albums without a bummer (14 perhaps, Yoga isn't really a Popol Vuh release).

Same here only by an iota over L'Isola di Niente which was for the longest time my favorite from them. Storia in the last few years have really grown on me to become my favorite. ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |
