You won't believe this, but I remember this poll has been done before on the forum!

Nevertheless, apples are my pick. Oranges are pretentious and overrated, so bright and look-at-me, look-at-me orange. Gross!

Apples are sweet and tasty, and they have much more variety. They are totally prog!

Apples

They are less messy, just grab and bite!

Apples have much more substance to them than an orange does. Plus, you can make them into all sorts of goodies: apple pie, apple tart, apple sauce, etc. When was the last time you had an orange pie?

I disagree! Oranges are far far more prog. Apples should be moved to prog-related!

It has been done before, definitely. Man Overboard might have been the one? I can't remember how I voted then and I want to remain consistent (we couldn't be thinking I pick choices at random in these polls, could we? ) so I'll abstain.

Oranges are more prog than apples.

People keep saying that but where is it? I ran a search on apples and this is the only one that came up.

If it is using a different metaphor then obviously we need a poll to compare that metaphor to the apples and oranges metaphor.

I don't think apples are prog at all. In fact, even pears are more prog.

Orange sucks. Even orange juice can be a bit painful to drink, even though the taste is pretty enjoyable.

I like them both equally.

I think the thread has the word "fruit" in it. Look for that.

OK. Apples were very prog to start with. I mean there was even a concept album about apples and serpents, copied by the first chapter of the Bible.  But, as the years went on, apples became more and more mainstream and even recorded a solo album with Phil Collins.

Oranges have been always been prog, and will never sell out.
