For those who don't know, Angra is a small city in Brazil, near Rio De Janeiro, and Neuschwanstein is a city in Germany.
Which one do you prefer?

Neuschwanstein is most certainly beautiful, but musically speaking I'll go with Kansas.
 
Although I should include my band, Madena (a mispelling of the Saudi Arabian city), we're sure as hell better than these choicesWink

Neuschwanstein is not a city. It's a palace.
 
Personaly I go for the non-prog in this one: Portishead.

My goodness, those are beautiful pictures!! It's a dream of mine to visit old castles in Europe.

As for the poll, I picked Kansas.

No castles in Kansas, but they have their own stunning attractions...

Baliktad (Tagalog for 'opposite') for me.  UK was great with both the Bruford and Bozzio line-ups.  UK's music was 'proggier' than Kansas - although SFA has some prog greats from Kansas...
