and no my polk is not silly it is innovative, sincere and truthfull to respect of craftmanship, which i think both gentlrmen have equal in success at.
That said, this poll is comparing apples to oranges. However, looking at the other polls on the front page I suppose I should be grateful for this one.

Yeah that's so funny
Though, I love all the polls and no one poll is "silly" to me because all the polls could be very educative. For example, thanks to Youtube, everybody can see / hear now what Manfred Mann's Earth Band did do in 00s...
...and what Vangelis Papathanassiou did do in 00s ..
..and to vote, of course.
Yeah I have a special fondness for Angel Station and Chance. TBH Vangelis started his retirement after Oceanic (96) and the film scores up to Alexander are about it in the early 00's. El Greco IMO his best work.

I voted Vangelis (and I could happily waffle on about him all day) but Mann has produced one of the most genius moments in prog on the album version of Blinded By The Light. Following the bit ''Mama told be never to look into the eyes of the Sun , but Mama that's where the fun is''. That little piano refrain which I think is 'chopsticks'. Love it!

I was going to check Vangelis, because I own many more of his albums, but I don't want to shortchange Mann because as pointed out, he's a great MiniMoog player, and Solar Fire is a swell prog rock album.
And yes, Vangelis should be under Progressive Electronic, not Prog Related.

MM is one of my favorite keyboard players, I love his diversity in sounds and of course his playing. But there's no point in voting here since I don't know Vangelis solo albums at all, based on his work with Aphrodite's Child I'll go with MM, but as I said no vote for now.

I really enjoy and admire MM. His work is definitely underappreciated. That said, I have to go all the way with my main man, Vangelis, not just for his keyboard skills, but also for his compositions which move me in a way no other composer or artist does. The photo of him with Salvador Dali is my new favorite picture. Look at that one next time you listen to Beauborg, and it will all make sense!

I feel most comfortable voting for both. Major cop-out, but there's just no getting around how many albums I've got from both that I love. Faves include: Solar Fire, The Dragon, Nightingales & Bombers and Beaubourg(yep I love that one!)
