I know SMM less. Mainly because it so hard to get their albums here.
I voted for VDGG cause they are realy great but with a lot of sympathy to SMM which are lovely.
I second those who cries for Can's loss and also surprised to see Gong lost to Area (although Area are realy cool). I probably should have joined these battles.

Tough decision, but I went with VDGG.
 
Before I get lynched by other members of the RIO/Zeuhl team, I should explain that I based that solely on SMM vs VDGG; if the poll had included ZMM and Von Zamla (and indeed Van Der Graaf, as they became for Pleasure Dome/Quiet Zone) my vote would have gone the other way.

Looks like VDGG are still going strong!

More innovative or more actual??

Oh, did I say innovative? I meant more innovative AND more awesome. And no, that's not subjective at all.LOL

I would vote for SMM against most bands.

Sadly, they are up against my favorite.

RIP in bossa nova heaven.

It appears that you have spoken too soon.

Quite an easy one - VdGG for me. Quite a few excellent albums, and some 'killer' tracks like Plague and Man Erg and many others.  I was impressed by Maltid, but the shher volume of quality works by VdGG wins it hands down!

VDGG!!

And it would've been awesome if Can had upset two of my least favorite bands of all time, but oh well!
