From the Heavy Prog conference we have one of the seminal heavy prog groups and one of the most beloved of all rock groups. From o' Canada RUSH!!!! ^ hell yeah!!  From the RPI conference we have one of the Italian greats responsible for some of the greatest albums of the 70's. From Italy LE ORME!!! Vegas odd makers have installed Rush as a 25 vote favorite but.. bah.. there is no but and I love Le Orme and won't be voting for them. Zero hope there guys. Horrible 1st round draw for Le Orme.------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

I haven't yet become a big fan of Rush, but I definitely like Moving Pictures. Le Orme's Contrappunti, though, is one of my all time favorite albums, and some of their other early albums are quite good too. So this is one of the easy choices for me: Le Orme.

come on. WE all know the prog mantra. It applies fully within prog as well as outside. Popularity does not equal quality. I really don't have a dog in this fight. I really like Le Orme, but are far down the list of Italian favorites of mine. However I really.. REALLY like Rush. Early Rush that is. But it is refreshing to see people judge simply on the music rather than the name of the band. On that. Rush rocked.... Le Orme created a string of timeless prog classics. It could have been a nightmare draw not for Le Orme but one for Rush and so far has proved to be one. Right from the start of this tournament when Le Orme went up 10-0 you knew or strongly suspected this tournament could be a lot of fun. This forum is different Ken from the old glory days when the popular groups had large and vocal fanclubs. Perhaps many are simply judging based on the music (then again.. how to explain Camel ) over the name.The winner really doesn't matter I suppose.. what counts is the drama. Who really is going to win this. I (we) couldn't have asked for more. It makes me happy I junked the original idea of seeding everone and going with random draws outside of the top 8 (IMO of couse). I do have to say, as soon as I have gotten home the last two days.. the first thing I have checked is the vote total here. ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

I am surprised to see so many Le Orme fans, but I suppose there are those without preference who simply want to see the underdog win and voted that way. Honestly Scott, I figured Rush would have overtaken Le Orme by now. However if one was simply to judge the groups by the body of work, forget the album lists here, Le Orme had as good if not better run of prog material than Rush did. Rush really didn't hit the big time until they left prog behind. I enjoy the HELL out of their prog material, and love the group FOR it, but I would really never consider it quality. More fun than anything to hear the chesey ass lyrics, geek prog personified, and really killer heavy prog but Le Orme, like many of the Italians in addition to the bite gave a sense of taste and refinement toallly missing from early Rush. btw. Some clappies. About time someone from the Rush camp stepped up and took offense to these results. If this had been ELP instead of Rush the forum would be awash in burned out threads and overturned pollls. Rush should inspired as much if not more love than poor old reviled ELP shouldn't it? ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

I've seen that. I don't remember if this came up years ago when the first battle of the band came up. If anyone does remember let me know and we'll do it the same way. good question. Not sure but definitely I am not inclined to break ties myself. I am no saint and have my bias hahah. I love who I love and dislike those I do. Likely I will ask one voter from each side to make a plea and both Raff and I will judge upon the merits and decide. No ties..

I like that idea Scott. I hadn't thought of that possibility. Perhaps will a multi vote option, one could say it wouldn't be fair to the 1st round winner the two tieing bands had to face. We'll see but I agree, it is something we should hash out as not just this one, but others are razor thin and well could end up in ties. I really don't think it is fair to let one person decide. Nor do we have the time for run offs. These winners get a week break while the other half of the bracket goes on.. after that it is a race to the finish with no breaks for any band. A run off would screw up the weekend to weekend polling time. ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

I think this poll has by and far the most participants. The other ones sit somewhere around 60-65 voters or so while this one has eclipsed 80. EDIT: But I expect Dream Theater's matchup will be similar.

While Rush has many fans, it also has many detractors. I would think that Le Orme's music would appeal to a wider variety of people into classic Prog, even though it is not as widely known. I'd be surprised if some voting for Le Orme are not really just voting against Rush. I don't think that the album rankings always are a great indication of what today's people in the forum think, anyway. In this case, people have tracks to judge by even if they don't have full albums. I expect that regular forum members generally have far more varied and vast progressive rock collections than those who came here just to rate and review their favourites. Rush is really well-known, and a lot of people would have come to PA primarily to rate their albums. Many of those of us in the forums get exposed to a wide variety of music. And fashions rather change... ELP was more popular here when I joined as I remember it. It was even popular with me! I used to love Rush, especially early Rush (still listen to Caress of Steel now and then), but I went off it. Le Orme is hardly my favourite RPI band, though it was the first I really got into (got loads of their albums). I have mostly gone off Le Orme since it's generally too bombastic for my tastes now (as with ELP), but I honestly expect that if Italian wasn't an issue with people and all those classic Prog fans who knew Rush's classic albums also knew Le Orme's classic albums, then Le Orme would be more popular amongst the hardcore Proggers than Rush (we are pretty hardcore proggers in the PA forums generally). Maybe not, though. Collage through Contrappunti are classics. I would hope that those who vote in these polls at least try to listen to music by both before they vote, and then come to a decision. And I would also hope that they vote FOR an act rather vote as an act AGAINST an act. Most of my favourite albums have far fewer ratings than Le Orme's top-rated albums, but then I know that my tastes are hardly mainstream even in Prog circles. By the way, for me there are many Canadian bands better than Rush (especially hailing from Quebec), but of course that's dependent on my tastes. A lot of people hate Rush due to the Ethyl Merman-on-helium singer as well as the remedial level Philosophy lyrics. |

I don't want to start slinging mud like a politician, but a vote for Le Orme is like a vote for Love Beach.  From Greg (Logan): I honestly expect that if Italian wasn't an issue with people and all those classic Prog fans who knew Rush's classic albums also knew Le Orme's classic albums, then Le Orme would be more popular amongst the hardcore Proggers than Rush (we are pretty hardcore proggers in the PA forums generally). I can't deny that my single lingual issues do have an effect on my ability to listen to RPI musicians. Before today, I will admit that I have only heard a handful of songs from Le Orme. Today, I listened to their first two albums and in spite of not understanding a word that was sung I thought that they were both quite good. I think I actually liked the debut album more, but my understanding is that is not reflective of their future sound. At any rate, enjoyable enough to want to try out some additional albums from them. I don't believe that I am going to be changing my user name anytime soon as a result of these listens, but I think that I am going to be glad that I am giving them a go. -------------

Scott, love the pics. I like the religious iconography of the Collage one, but then ELP is practically a religion for some (imagine them on that Beach with halos, hairy chests, camel-toe.... Like with a funnny old DT photoshop job, could put the biggest halo around Emerson's male camel-toe). I actually like Le Orme's debut a lot. There is an English language version of Felona e Sorona which I would recommend to you (that is their most beloved album I would say) if you can find it streaming. I don't like the Enlsish language version nearly as much (I love the sound of Italians singing in Italian), but then l'm more about sound than lyrics. I'm mostly an instrumental guy, but most of the songs I like don't have English lyrics (plenty of folk and Cantebury album where the lyrics are important to me, though). By the way, I've just played Fly By Night after a long time (dug out my old record) and it still rocks. Early Rush has some balls that I kind of think got a little neutered later on. Which is funny, cause Geddy Lee sounds more like he'd been neutered early on. |

If its a draw then I think Le Orme should lose purely on the basis of bad taste (for album covers) . I mean who thought that was a good idea - any of it? Bare chests, white stuff, tennis racket (with no strings), religeous connotations, erm dodgy facial hair, er everything what were they thinking. (drugs?). ------------- Help me I'm falling! |
