I vote Opeth. But it is in the archives already.

Uhm.. but Wuschel, I can't understand you:
Are you "suggesting" (not in an explicit way) to put Abba in the Archives because, as they are Swedish like Opeth, and maybe they sound more prog than Opeth to you (do you like Opeth, anyway?), they deserve to be here. Right ?  |

Yeah but.. well... this is an old question, I think you should ask the Symph Prog team or something like that. Even if you got a 100 to 1 result in the poll, I don't think that counts so much (IMHO).
By the way, I like Abba, but I don't think they are prog. Good Swedish pop is all you will get from me.
Man but do you really think Abba is prog? Seriously ? Opeth are fantastic, I won't explain the reasons why they're here, because I think it's boring and everybody knows it.
Maybe Abba could be here as prog related... uhm.....  |

Well...abba is mainly a disco/pop band. They started out sounding like some average Swedish "dansband" . Some progressive elements in a couple of songs, maybe, but not prog. Btw they were one of the biggest hate objects of the Swedish prog scene in the seventies. Some songs with potential for being good, but with arrangements that are a total failure imo. Waterlooo, waterloo ...

As for Opeth: check out Damnation and tell me that this is not prog. Or listen to "The drapery falls" on their page here. This is a totally pointless discussion.

Yes, this is a ridiculous poll. Abba of course. Opeth aren't Prog in the least. Erm, well, that's not quite true. The death grunts are quintessentially Prog, but other than the growling, not proggy at all..

Who is bothering you?
You started a "war" , so pay the consequences! 
Anyway I have an important question: why do people spend much of their time bashing bands they don't like? I mean, f**k, you don't like Pink Floyd, why saying Pink Floyd are f**kin' crap? Just don't listen. 
You hate Dream Theater? Why wastin' time doin' a one star review on Images and Words? Just take your cd and put it in your basket case!
Ehy Wushel this isn't directed to you but it's a general consideration I made here, because of some recent reviews I've recently seen here.

Ohhh and, because of the anti - Opeth situation, I might add this:
Opeth logo isn't original, they copied it from the well known chips logo:
