BTW Agalloch is a prog band that released their albums in 2002, 2006, 2010 and 2014.   That's neat.  The ultimate world cup band.

Hi,
 
Picking the winner would be more fun!
 
For 2014, Germany would win, because we do not know, have not heard, and do not think that Argentina knows or has any progressive music!
 
How's that for logic!

As for choosing a band for any year, it's too petty for me ... too many choices for too many of those years! And I am not a fan of top ten!

Rather than insult the entire site for their lack of musical knowledge, perhaps you could merely suggest an Argentinian band that meets your rigorous standards for musical excellence.

Either that, or shut the hell up. Your musical guru shtick is wearing thin.
