Pendragon for me. Had Opeth lost their need to growl earlier and made more albums like their most recent one it would have been a much harder choice for me to make. I enjoy beauty, drama, passion and melody in music. Some guy trying to sound like a demon belching just doesn't do it for me and thankfully the growlers are proving to be a dying breed as the musicians who can play mature beyond the fad.

An obvious Opeth. Pendragon is good and all, but not nearly as good as something that is not nearly as good as Opeth.

Pendragon, they've got more high quality albums even if nothing of theirs beats Blackwater Park.

Pendragon, oh god Pendragon. Please be Pendragon. How could anyone not vote for Pendragon. 100% Pendragon. If Pendragon don't win this round I will revert to a state of comatose for the next 60 years.
Having said that, I love Opeth, but guys? Pendragon!

Not two of my faves, but I have really enjoyed some Opeth's things while I feel Pendragon as just another Genesis fashioned neoprog band.

I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

Just to say: in "Day Sixteen:Loser" from Ayreon's The Human Equation there's a growler. He represents the father of the main character, not a bleeching demon. I suggest you to try to approach the things with the mind more open. I can't stand with growlers and screamers or also guitar solos when they are not essential to the music, like the percussions in today's pop-dance. But if you can't stand with growl at all, you should be disturbed by Nick Mason on "One Of This Days" or by Pete Townsend on "Boris The Spider"

It is a valid opinion, and I feel exactly the same way. I enjoy Opeth musically but I can do without the Cookie Monster vocals.

Opeth doesn't really does it for me, and the vocals are definitely not helping. Pendie easily.

Well in the groups round IQ kicked Opeth's ass, so it's not crazy that Pendragon is giving a hard battle here too, although I think Opeth is gonna win this...
As for the bands, I can't stand the cookie monster voice too (I'm enjoying Heritage A LOT), so I'll vote for Pendie...

I look up, I'm almost blinded
by the warmth of what's inside me
and the taste that's in my soul,
but I'm dead inside as I stand alone...
