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 choices  ------------- When the world is sick Can't no one be well But I dreamt we were all beautiful and strong

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

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

Opeth...It comes from Opet a place in some book that I can't remember. It means City of the Moon, that has 10 points on all these places.

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...
