Dude, awesome poll! And a tough one at that... Went with Riverside, but all three have albums in my top 10. PoS a ridiculously close second. |

Flip that I did PoS with Riverside at a close second! Haha definitely my two (maybe only) favorites from the prog metal sub ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/ramza1316" rel="nofollow - www.last.fm/user/ramza1316 https://open.spotify.com/user/1211221845" rel="nofollow - https://open.spotify.com/user/1211221845 |

| I don't mind Riverside and PoS but don't listen to either very often. I don't care for Haken much at all. |

PoS for me; a very unique band with one of the best vocalists in music IMO. ------------- A GREAT YEAR FOR PROG!!! |

I like all three, but I prefer Riverside.

In general: Riverside, but the best individual album I have heard by one of these bands is The Mountain. -------------

| I'm not a huge fan of any these bands, but The Mountain alone is enough of a reason to say Haken |

Out of those three it would be Riverside, but none of them are personal favorites. ------------- http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/" rel="nofollow - Metal Music Archives https://rateyourmusic.com/~UMUR" rel="nofollow - UMUR on RYM |

PoS, their fist 5 albums are exceptional.

| Really hard one. I have just been getting into this bands since last year, and they are all great. Though I might still need to get even a bit more familiar with them to choose well. Still, everything I've heard from them is wonderful (though I still need to hear the later album from PoS, which seem to be a step down given the reviews). Still, I guess there is something a bit more special with the albums I've heard from PoS, so I'll be voting for them. |

Loves, loves Riverside, even if their latest it a bit of a step down. Love the two Haken albums I have (last two), so it's close, but still have to vote Polish. Never actually given PoS a try... ------------- -- Frank Swarbrick Belief is not Truth. |

You should, at least to know them. The albums I've heard are brilliant too (Remedy Lane, Be, and The Perfect Element, so far). |

Haken > Riverside > PoS Though I'm basing my opinion of PoS on only hearing/having two albums, Perfect Element & Scarsick |

| I prefer Riverside, I saw them in Poland on live concert, it was a magical night for me. Haken last album The Mountain is excellent! |
