Currently a tie again.
 
We are so cleanly divided it's almost beyond belief.

I'd be happy if it ended up being Magma vs. Can. Big smile

Wait, that's impossible.  One of them will be knocked out this round (it'll be Magma vs. Can). Cry

I really hope that doesn't happen as I don't think either band deserves the title.

I'm really impressed at how close this has been for so long.It just shows how evenly matched they are.

my vote goes to Yes, but some years ago it'd have been Genesis. Let's just say that there's never been a band close to the harmonic, melodic and mostly rythmic perfection Yes managed to produce in their best albums, while I feel the Genesis-sound has been replicated ad nauseam, perhaps making it more "normal" to my ears.
I still adore Genesis, but the crystalline aura Yes has is unbeatable to me. Gabriel owns any other Yes member musically, though.

Genesis is one of the greatest and most original bands I've ever listened to.

I voted for Yes since they could actually write catchy complex tunes. Genesis usually failed at this (or at least the catchy part), but made some beautiful music, which Yes also did.

At this point it'll be so close that I'll be willing to say "good game" even if Yes takes the title. I hope Genesis wins but I'll respect it if Yes does too. 
Heaven's made a cesspool of us all.
