Okay. I took all of the quintets who received 1-3 votes in the previous two polls and put them together (eliminating any band that received no votes). I'm saving the top 6 vote getters for a different poll.

NOW who's your favorite?

Not sure why Reyes is chosen for Echolyn. He only played bass on a few songs on their first album. Tom Hyatt plays most bass on Echolyn's albums. That said, Bubblemath.

The IQ boys, just ahead of Strawbs, Marillion mk2 and Renaissance.

I'd get calling Annie Haslam a quintet if she were, well, of larger proportions.

Caution, I voted for Stratos, Fariselli, Tavolazzi, Tofani, & Capiozzo again coz I love Area (and Capiozzo is one of the drummers who I feel doesn't get enough mentions here), but I could go with Pentangle and various jazz formations, and I am a fan of Radiohead.

Somehow I missed Czukay, Karoli, Liebezeit, Schmidt, & Suzuki.

Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before. It can be much like that with music for me.

Even though the first 24 voters didn't think so (with possible exception of Logan), it's got to be Can for sure.

Not an easy choice, but I'll go with the Tull line up.

Not at all. I voted for YES instead of Renaissance in the first Quintets poll, so it's nice to have the opportunity to Share Some Love for Annie in this poll. Heart

Yep, I somehow failed to read until the end of the list and noticed it after voting. I would have voted for it. At least it has three votes now, and Area was still a fine pick from me, imo.

I guess I'll go with the Relayer lineup. SB would be my second choice.
