Topic: Pendragon vs. Saga Posted: April 17 2011 at 03:33 |
Pendragon has a new release out (havenīt heard it yet), and Saga is currently being discussed, and it still seems to be "vs." season, so I am sending those two in the ring.

You should add "neither" to the options.

Saga did not make any Masquerade Overture or Pure so far, so Pendragon easily.

I see it as follows; One of them made an album called Generation 13, the other one didn't.

If a poll says Pendragon vs Saga and you dislike or have no interest in either band, why enter the thread? You are not being tricked in by a misleading title.
And once here why comment at all?
Some may say this is acceptable trolling. I'm not sure. I rather dislike the practise. |
If they didn't then some other unsuspecting person would assume that PA was nowt but Pendragon and Saga fans, comment accordingly and thus get accused of being a troll.
Or
Some people like to express their opinion regardless.
Or
There's no law against it
Or
Opinions are like nose holes, everyone's got too.
Or
They're waiting for guidance from Walter, no wait, both bands are pre-1989. Oh noes! ... Dial Emma.
Or
Neo vs. Crossover = Meh
Or
There's nothing on TV
Or
It's that time of year again.
Or
Hayter's gonna mown.
Or
Pendragon, by a country mile.

That one is easy.
Saga, the pioneers of neo-prog. Better vocalist, better guitarist, better bassist, better drummer, better melodies.

Some polls here have a "Both" option, perhaps a "Neither" option would be appropriate as well. In any case, why is it your concern if someone likes neither or both equally and states their opinion? Is it any different than when a poster insults and degrades a band in a poll when they are clearly fans of the other band in the poll? Doesn't that in fact occur in almost every poll? Much ado about nothing.

I agree with lucas, Saga by a mile!!! Michael Sadler is one of the best vocalists in music period and there has been more variation in their music
|
A GREAT YEAR FOR PROG!!!

Little ado i would say.To write my posts took very little effort. |
That's a relief. I would hate for you to strain your typing finger over an inconsequential series of posts on a music forum. I would put a smiley emoticon here, but I feel it would ruin the sincerity of my post.

Nope, I'm done here. But I think that is the stupidest comment you ever made.
