Keeping it respectable.  Well done Area fans. Clap  Closer than I suppose Talk Talk would have been. I was surprised actually that was as close as it was. Having modern bands against classic bands is not the best recipee for close contests, especially bands not exactly readily recognized as bands that should even be IN the contest.

Tough call, but I'm going with Area. They're even more original than GG, which I can't say about many bands.

Embarrassed let's just say that when I finally crack and go Ferguson on this countries ass..and start lobbing bricks and fighting the power... it will be Area in my headphones.  Not some pansy Neo group or f**king Camel LOL

oh no.  Deep seated ideals and strong notions of right and wrong. Crossing my notions on those can possess me faster than any demon or group could. LOL

Area would just be the soundtrack for fighting the power.  Thumbs Up

The Giant is an acquired taste, like fine Scotch, but now that I have it, I will take them over Area any day.

Gentle Giant simply covers more area.

AREA for doing Gentle Giant better than the original with a track like 'Vodka Cola'.
Nahh AREA, quite simply, for being one of my fave Italian bands.
