Damn this is almost painful to watch...and I don't even like Saga.
Then again I think we all have a similar poll in us where our fave underdog will lose big time.
I imagine me doing one with Amon Düül ll vs Yes ending up similarly ie my fave gets completely annihilated.

Well I see a couple people here willing to admit they prefer Saga. And for those questioning whether or not they're "fully prog" I found this..

Haha yep. I like that album btw, possibly my second favorite by them after the MONSTER Silent Knight. Good to see you back here man. I've been getting into Focus a bit lately. I like their third album a lot.

I like Saga, but Caravan are just better.

Synthpop can be brilliant. Gary Numan and Cocteau Twins instantly pops to mind.


Agree re; Gary Numan, Cocteau Twins etc..Excellent stuff, and far better than Saga from what I can remember. Saga were all mullet haircuts, and one foot on the monitor from what I can remember. A poor mans 80's Rush. Am I remembering correctly?


Count me in on enjoying synthpop -- love synthpop Kraftwerk and Gary Numan/ Tubeway Army (Replicas was one of my first music loves) especially.

Anyway, Caravan very easily for me. I don't normally count it as one of my favourites in Canterbury Scene, although In the Land of Grey and Pink was the first Canterbury Scene album I bought, but it does have some very good albums. And I shan't forget how much "Nine Feet Underground" blew me away when I first heard it.

Well said.Count me in here.

Never got much mileage out of Saga. Just not for me...

Caravan by a mile.

Yep. Saga is a cheesy pop band with a few progressive tendencies, like Styx.

Caravan, with the annotation that Saga's Worlds Apart  never fails me.
