From the wackiness that is the Rio-Avant Conference we have one its true greats and legendary groups.

VIDEO Vegas oddmakers have listed Henry Cow as a slight 10 vote favorite but can Sigur Ros pull the upset? We shall see!

A very uneasy decision this time.

Love Sigur Ros and pretty much have everything by them, they remain one of my bucketlist bands BUT Come On!! It's Henry Cow!! They are one of the original 5 RIO bands that created the sub-genre, and arguably the most important!! HC for me.

Sigur Rós. One of my favourite bands.

I actually voted for a post rock band.
I may have to go and lie down for a bit.

I have to admit that what I heard of Sigur Ros (besides "The Rains of Castamere"
) didn't set my world on fire. Henry Cow, while not a particular favourite of mine (I prefer Univers Zero when it comes to RIO), are closer to my taste, so my vote goes to them.

A little outside my realm but I do enjoy a bit Sigur Ros, so they get my vote.

I prefer Ros. Never cared for Cow. Except, medium-rare with a baked potato.

Leg End and In Praise of Learning have got nothing on the Icelandic Gods of mesmerizing post rock. Sigur Ros for me.

I honestly can't take a lot of each band but have a huge appreciation for both. This one is really hard, I need more time.
