A hard choice indeed, but Nektar takes my vote.

There's an Iron Maiden cover of King of Twilight? My word, and righteous.

^ 'B' side of Aces High !!
Eloy and Nektar are both on-par with each other, one day I'll favour one, another the other. Impossible for me to pick.

Like them both.....picking Eloy today.
 
Just for stats:
Eloy....18 studio albums...four 4 star albums
Nektar....13 studio albums....one 4 star album
One does nothing yet nothing is left undone.

Nektar, very easily. Roye Albrighton is one of the most under-rated guitarists--a master rhythm guitar player.

Nektar for A tab in the Ocean, Remember the Future and Recycled

I'm afraid I'm another person who isn't terribly keen on the vocalist of Eloy.

For me Frank Bornemann isn't that great but he isn't so bad he's unbearable. He leans more to the memorable voices category for prog. I thought his voice fit best on Ocean but needed more oomph on their other albums.

did you hear them on FM radio in Quebec in the 1970s?
I don't think I ever did, or at least they didn't make an impression if I did.
As for the 1980s, there was very little prog radio and what there was probably didn't feature Eloy a whole lot, even though their first 3 1980s albums were all excellent

I understand about Franks singing voice, though Eloy`s music is great, and it makes Franks voice more better, pity really about his voice, but, i must say, that there is alot of singing voices out there not just in prog, rock or any music style, is awful, etc Celine dion is awful as nothing but a worble and same with whitney houston and few others, so it matter of taste.

Two random guys agreed to shake hands. Just Because. They felt like it, you know. It was an agreement of sorts...a random agreement.

Don't know these bands enough well to vote. I own Eloy's Ocean, but Nektar I haven't heard.

ELOY  in my point of view is the which have a more 'digestible' style of psychedelic space prog .
