Pick your favourite or pick your nose.
It was PFM (Italy) vs. Focus (Netherlands) in the poll that my poll is based on. |

Area. Btw PFM are overrated. Le Orme all the way

All I like is prog related bands beginning late 60's/early 70's. Their music from 1968 - 83 has the composition and sound which will never be beaten. Perfect blend of jazz, classical, folk and rock.

I like PFM and especially Focus, but don't know anything about these bands so currently picking my nose(needed to do that anyway). Like the poll idea though.

Oh dang that's a tricky one. I have a lot of love for both - and they have this out-of-control-like creativity about their approach to making music that occasionally goes "wrong" (but not really wrong) that I sympathize with. I guess Area wins for "artistic achievement" but Supersister wins for "warm and playful charm" - which is equally important to me. I know I would have had a hard time with Area if they sung in some language I understood as I'm about as fond of communist ideology as I am of nazism/islamism/fascism... I also to be forgiving/understandig about it as the 1970's was a different time - who knows maybe back then I could have believed in the same things as Mr. Stratos did. But after a little back and fourth I landed on the Dutch guys (they deserve more votes as well) - who were equally early on with the Canterbury-sound as the Canterbury-bands.

I've never heard of either of those, so I'm pitting Arena vs. Supertramp.
Arena wins (though I like Supertramp's first).
