From the Tech/Extreme Metal Conference we have one of the greats of the genre!!

From o'Canada

VOIVOD!!!!!



From the NEO-Prog conference we have its greatest and most popular group.

From England

MARILLION!!!



Vegas oddsmakers have installed Marillion as a heavy 30 vote favorite. Can Voivod pull the upset or keep it close.  Only if the neo haters show in force and the metal haters stay home hahah.

Marillion quite easily. I like Voivod but have never understood why they get rated so highly, contemparies like Watchtower and Atheist were far better IMO.

I can't stand Marillion. So consider this an anti-Fish vote.

I'm going to sit this one out.  I'm ambivalent about Marillion (generally negative but can't deny their strong legacy) and have never listened to Voivod and am not really in the mood to start now.

Looks like perhaps Voivod can pull this off. Went with them. Marillion are spectacular in both eras, though.

Obviously E-Dub hasn't been here yet. He'll rally the Marillion fanboys.

actually Steve.. that is why I haven't voted yet.  I really do not care a single bit for Marillion but really don't know Voivod.  Raff tells me we have some of their stuff, I might take a listen and if I like it. I vote for them, if not.  I'll vote for Marillion for the import/legacy. Not that it really matters.. I'm sure Marillion will walk the dog in this one.
