This one is much harder than the other one from the same bracket. Still I vote for Van der Graaf Generator, though Anekdoten can stand against many bands.

Much respect for Anekdoten but any band would have a tough time against the mighty VDGG.

Kind of a tossup but Anekdoten squeaks by

Anekdoten is a top three band for me so that's my pick even if they have no chance here. I love VDGG too and would even go on to say they deserve to win here because of what Atkingani says, their history.

Though I have a lot of time for VDGG, and respect their history and contribution to the development of progressive rock, I enjoy Anekdoten's music a bit more - so the Swedes get my vote.

Anekdoten are merely plagiators of Red-era King Crimson, Van Der Graaf Generator comes as one of the most géniale band in history of rock.

This one is easy, I was never a fan of VDGG and what I consider comlexity for the sake of complexity.
I have to go with the Vikings, a newly discovered band that I simply love.

Ivan and I don't agree often, but he hit the nail on the head here.
