Don't know Phideaux or PRR yet. More listening... (It seems there was more stuff I didn't know in the second half of both classic and modern polls). ------------- Magma America Great Make Again |

I think I'm giving this one to miRthkon. Thats actually the first time I've heard The Dark Third, even though I have the album. Columbia Records completely screwed the release of that album with the two best tracks, TDT and The Twyncin being split between different regions. Would have made for a better album overall if they'd put it all together properly in the first place. ------------- Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005  |

Alright, so I'll put both Phideaux and PRR in the category of "not bad but not my thing either." I like that miRthkon album but I like the Ozrics album more. They get my vote. ------------- Magma America Great Make Again |

I realise that these polls are rapidly exposing the fact that my tastes are at best tending towards the overly melodic or at worst a bit middle of the road. I'm enjoying Mirthkon but I fear I'd rarely revisit it. Technically excellent though. (for what ever reason that specific clip is not available to the likes of me). Ozric I enjoy but no real involvement. PRR, now that is good, my only concern is whether the vocals are a bit too sweet. Maybe that is also a criticism that could be levelled at Phideaux but at least they (him) mix it up a bit more. I'm having a hard time moving on from listening. Has it enough substance to stand repeated listens ? Not overly sure about that but I'm going to find out. Phideax. ------------- Andrew B “Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend.

Jurassic Shift...although a couple of others are quite good. Jurassic Shift though, played that thing with my buds driving around in a van high as kites in the early 90's.
Don't do that sort of thing kids, you could get into an accident and lose half of your head and some limbs (so I am told).

Have both of miRthkon's albums, but neither have quite grabbed me. Didn't like TDD, but enjoyed both Snowtorch and Jurassic Shift. Vote goes to the former.

While it was tough for me to vote against Phideaux I had to go with The Dark Third.

this has been quite good.. but just not quite good enough. Good enough for strong 3rd place showing here for me.  It seems miRhkon is flat-lining on the operating table but I'm saving the vote for later just in case some leggy nurses with big tits jump starts the album heart here haha. Going to Phideaux otherwise to help them possibly move on. However f it came down to between the two.. it would go to miRhkon. Great album man.. surprised in a way they might need the help. Great album.. but nearly all of these are. I do remember Phideaux used to have quite the fanclub here. ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

Voted miRthkon before Pure Reason Revolution and Phideaux. Not an Ozric's fan, although I respect them highly for their creativity. |

A toss-up between Phideaux and miRthkon for me, as both albums are among my faves from the past 10 years or so. As Phideaux does not seem to need a boost, I'll go for miRthkon - a great band I hope I will be able to see on stage once again. |
