Nektar, though it is close. I like the first few Eloy albums, but after "Dawn" they become too pompous for my taste. and the extreme German accent of Frank Bornemann annoys me

This one is a hard decision for me too. I've been a Nektar fan for a long time (with particular emphasis on Remember The Future) and my knowledge of Eloy is not as extensive. So for the record I'll give a tentative nod to Nektar ... [ On a side note: I'm a Spotify listener - and I often get advisories from them when new material from some rap group ( cough) named Eloy becomes available. Anyone else? Sacrilege! ]

In the seventies I discovered Eloy before I discovered Nektar. While I've always liked both bands I have to go with Nektar in the long run.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

^ '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.
