I'll probably be shot for this, but...Anglagard. I love KC, I really do. But, I prefer Jordrock to almost all of KC's songs, with the exception of a few. And, let's face it...Sweden is one sweet country.

Änglagård. King Crimson may be more well-known, but the whole thing about prog. is that you love the music, even if the bands don't score high on billboards. |

Oh whatever. I agree that King Crimson is probably going to win, but Anglagard sure doesn't deserve to get raped.

| I think you might prefer Änglagård if you can understand what they're singing. Most of their songs lies with their lyrics. |

King Crimson- possibly the greatest prog band in history, with an unbelievably versatile and yet enjoyable catalogue of albums. Their career probably strikes me as the most impressive of all! Änglagård- released one decent album. ------------- "Music expresses that which cannot be put into words and cannot remain silent" - Victor Hugo |

Änglagård is just Hybris(masterpiece) and a good album(Epilog).
King Crimson is some masterpieces and almost all of the other albuns are good, so I go for them.

Have you heard the other one?  But well, even though Hybris is pretty damn close to a masterpiece and Epilog seems to be really good too, I've got no choice but to go for Crimson. Everything they released between 69 and 74 is great, and Power to Believe is fantastic too. I'm not excited about the 80s stuff, but THRAK sounds very promising and I've added that one to my shopping list. |

One of my favorite songs ever is Jordrok, and Hybris is one of my favorite albums. But the fact is that KC had played some much pretty and groundbreaking music since the early 70's, and so it is not proper to compare them with a group that made only two great albums. It is easier to disband after two awesome studio albums and a decent live than to operate so much musical research and assume possible flop. KC's discography not only contains fantastic albums, but they are still present after almost forty years of a prolific and unique carreer, they deserve more esteem than Anglagard.

| these "prog tournaments" are turning out to be quite predictably one sided. Went for King Fripp here though. |

| King Crimson just has a larger catalogue... I love Änglagård, but there's pretty much just Hybris. Epilog isn't THAT good. It's good, very good if you like, but not AS good as like... 5 of Crimson's albums. King Crimson, it's a pretty easy choise... but I prefer Hybris to anything Crimson has ever made ;) |

Yeah, I figured I'd knock out the four most easily lopsided ones first. There are also some others that may turn out pretty lopsided (the other four #2 v. #7's in this first round too), but if you're interested how everything looks for the first round of matchups refer to my original poll. |

I heard very few lyrics when I listened to Hybris, and none in Epilog... lyrics may add to the songs, but I'm pretty sure what makes Anglagard good is their composition. Anyway, Crimson for me.

Hybris has more good music on it than KC's entire output - so Anglagard.

I knew this would happen, King Crimnson is almost unbeatable, but I have to vote for Anglagard because that's the kind of music I like more.

Maybe if Änglagård had put out some more albums.... Hybris is definitely a masterpiece, and I really enjoy Epilog as well, but KC have made so much brilliant music, so I'll have to go for them.

I'm quite divided on the two... Though I do believe (any) KC musicians are better than Anglagard's (especially the piano player, who doesn't always hit chords with very precise timing... creative though), which is saying something. And let's face it, Anglagard made three albums, and KC have made... well, obviously more. Robert Fripp is definitely one of my favorite guitarists ever, and their music has much more variation than the seemingly one dimensional Anglagard (I love their music but let's face it, it's almost all interchangeable with itself). And the sax is a bit more fun to listen to than a flute anyways. |

It saddens me to see Anglagard lose so badly. Who cares if KC has released more albums? Hybris and Epilog own them all! ------------- http://barddog.org/acebad - http://barddog.org/acebad |
