I put in two votes, almost put in a third, but realized it would be invalid:
The 'Almost Vote' almost went to Giraffe, though at the last minute, I realized that I'd simply be voting for them as I enjoy some of Kevin Gilbert's music. I'd never actually heard a Giraffe song.
With that being said, Fish gets a vote. 13th Star is a great album and the song Darkstar is absolutely fantastic. It's been in heavy iPod rotation since I first heard the song.
Also, Hoggwash gets a vote. I'm just getting familiar with them, but I like everything that I've heard by them. They remind me somewhat of Sylvan.

My familiarity with Kevin Gilbert is limited to a Toy Matinee CD that I purchased long ago and I suppose the Mark Bonilla CDs, although I am not certain what his contribution was on those. He seems to be really well-liked within these forums however.
I haven't acquired 13th Star yet. I don't believe that I have seen it yet where it wasn't being sold as an import, and I am just too cheap for import prices. I will have to check again because I do like the Fish solo albums that I do have and it certainly seems that many like his new one.
Hoggwash sounds very interesting. I really like Sylvan, so that comparison really piques my interest. Being from the Ukraine, they will probably be even harder to track down. Here is a thread that ProgJester started that suggested their inclusion on PA. Very interesting indeed.
