LOL nice!

I wonder how Manofmystery voted in the Cynic-Atheist thread.

He was either looking for the earplugs or the noose!

I listened to some Voivod when I first joined here, at best for me it was OK. The whole TechMetal stuff I don't get, regardless Voivod nowhere near resonates with me like Marillion has.

This is a weird decision to make. I went with Voivod just because I'm a bit more into metal right now, but both are awesome.

Marillion, but this is yet another pairing where I'm not big on any of the bands.

I only like the first two Voivod albums, and haven't played them in maybe 15 years - Marillion all the way, my Facebook is proof.

Don't know Voivod so no vote.

Voivod is great and Canadian...but Marillion is Marillion, and at one or two points I joined their fan club, something I've never done with Rush.

Hell, dude, I knew of your distaste for Hogarth era Marillion eons ago. We can't agree on everything.

As you well know I am in that camp too but I have always loved your passion for the Hogarth stuff. For that reason alone I would back you anytime in his defense. Approve

VOIVOD. Never really got the huge love for Marillion. I feel like they're a "must have been there" kind of band.

Thanks, guys. I fully suspect it will be Voivod based on what I've heard thus far (and I don't like Marillion much at all), but I want to be sure.

just listened to The Outer Limits.  Good enough, 1 album I like over a group that did none that connected with me (did try 4 back in the day)

Voivod for me!

actually Steve.. that is why I haven't voted yet.  I really do not care a single bit for Marillion but really don't know Voivod.  Raff tells me we have some of their stuff, I might take a listen and if I like it. I vote for them, if not.  I'll vote for Marillion for the import/legacy. Not that it really matters.. I'm sure Marillion will walk the dog in this one.

If only you had a video of Paul Sears' Marillion rant! 




LOLLOL OMG that was a riot.  Clap
