Nektar gets my vote. Both are great, but I prefer Nektar.

Either, depending on what I'm in the mood to listen to.

I have a certain problem with Eloy. The German accent of Frank Bornemann is absolutely awful. But else I am fine with them. I prefer their early albums (up to and including "Dawn") to the latter ones.

I like Nektar too. If it weren't for Bornemann I'd say "both", but because of him my vote goes to Nektar.

This is weird. Third Eloy vs Nektar poll in a few months (but Nektar is seemingly doing better every time, which is cool).

Nektar
 

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

Really? I did a search for my old polls and didn't find it. I figured if it was done before it was done by me. I guess not. I also did a google search and while progarchives polls show up there wasn't one for these two bands that showed up.

When I tried Eloy many years ago, they did not resonate with me at all.

Nektar has always resonated with me.

Yes really, but I never find anything with that useless forum search myself:)

Edit: No sorry those two were both Focus vs Nektar.

I don't understand how people can know Eloy but not Nektar. Confused
