Hey, this rematch has been done because a lot of Yes fans cried. 
Other bands have lost and nothing happened, but seems Yes is special.
I don't give a damn who wins, but it pisses me that if you cry enough, rules will bend, if this poll meaned something, now it's worth noyhing..

I do think the original poll result should stand
Its up to you though so
I would say that the poll should n't finish when one or other band has 3 or 4 more votes than the other.
It should finish at a specific TIME then everyone knows when it finishes and if someone doesn't vote in time then tough!
Anyway Genesis again!  |

Yes you are wrong, I believe Dream Theater won after the vote was closed and nobody said a word.
Rules are rules.

Tell me...What happens if Yes wins with a fraction of the total votes posted the last time? Lets say 80 to 90 when the last time the poll ended with more than 220 votes?
Haven't you thought that a lot of Genesis fans won't vote again because they did it before and don't expect a rematch because the Yes fans want one more chance?

While the voters may have different incentives this time, I still feel that the re-match is the best way to go, since no one was happy last time. I thought this would please everyone, but I guess I'm wrong.

This shouldn't be allowed once the poll is closed, or at least admit the two bands
This poll is worth nothing if Yes fans can protest and we must accept it.
Really terrible decision.

Great decision Undercoverman!
The previous poll was maybe closed at an awkward moment,
but then later changing to have Yes continue after the poll was another awkward surprise.
So I'll stick to Yes but it's almost a toss-up for me.

Welcome to Round 3 Division 1 of Battle of the Prog Bands, rematch. Since many people complained about the results of the original match of R3D1, I thought the only way to appease everyone is to do a rematch. The two contenders are Yes and Genesis. Vote for your favorite, and the band with the most votes will move onto Round 4. Please do not vote unless you have listened to at least one album by both artists (which is pretty much everyone, right?)
Here is the tournament thus far:
Schedule for Upcoming Matches
Round 3 Division 4 - September 1
Round 3 Division 5 - Septmeber 5
Round 3 Division 6 - September 9
Round 3 Division 7 - September 12
As usual, Genesis.
