Also More i think it of it, really Without Hawkwind would there ever of Been a Ozric 's ?

They would have been very different thats for sure, but still pretty spacey as Ed Wynnes biggest influence is clearly Steve Hillage.

That may be True , but the Ozrics grew out of the Free festival scene forming i believe at Stonehenge festival
which of course Hawkwind being one the main Organizers (the Stage was Nick Turners) i also know the Ozrics themselves to be Big Hawkwind Fans, they themselves would probably Vote HAWKWIND to
Much as i love the Ozrics this really is no contest , With the Hawk History etc etc and there Recorded output
is Miles ahead anything the Ozrics do, the Ozrics are basicaly instrumental jam band, where as Hawkwind
have written some top Tunes over years, Both Robet Calvert and Dave Brock are realy fine song Writers,
So it HAWKWIND all the way, but still love the Ozrics hell got to love them after all they are from my Kneck woods good ole Somerset

Gong lost against Area? and Mahavishnu against Marillion? I am beginning to lose my faith in prog archives Confused

Most people who loves Gong also love Area. I know I do, and I ended up voting Area. What's wrong with that?

I voted Hawkwind here, but that was almost as easy as voting for Can.

Don't believe in me

I honestly don't see any similarity between Gong and Area

I didn't say there was similarities, but they do share fans. Just like most people who's into Univers Zero also likes Henry Cow. Most people who like Residents also likes Frank Zappa.

A lot of us had a hard time choosing between Soft Machine and Magma too. Not because they have so much in common, but simply because we love both.

And whatever happened to MPictures07-Alex???

Is he suffering from exhaustion from putting all those polls together and resting in a retirement home???

No, I'm still here. Wink

Been a bit busier with school this week, have an Accounting midterm tomorrow, and I also needed to take a bit of a break from the computer... but now I'm back.

I'm glad to see the Ayreon/Le Orme poll was as close as it turned out to be! Shocked

I only have a few Ozric albums and I enjoy them quite a bit, but I think in the long haul it's Hawkwind for the win.
