I was going to vote Genesis, but I really am not familiar with Anglagard or Rennaissance and I don't care for TFK, so I figured if I did it'd be like pouring salt on an open wound.

 
The Raga Rock poll's going to be fun.

I only know Genesis and Rennaisance, and only one album from Rennaisance, I I guess I can't vote. But I might have a difficult time choosing from those, two, Haslams voice is just Heavanly, and the Piano work is beautiful.

There would be a point if everyone voted for bands other than Genesis. Wink

If it was more even, but Genesis nearly has a 30 point lead. I expected it to happen, if they were more even I would be tempted to vote for different band just to kick Genesis out of the running for once. LOL

Yeah, back when I voted they only had like 6 votes, so voting in favor of Annie and Renaissance wasn't so absurd of a plan.

Änglagård's Hybris is my favourite album from this bunch, but Genesis has lots of quality albums, so it would be approppriate to vote for them. At this point it doesn't make much of a difference what I vote, but Änglagård it is out of respect and sympathy.

The amount of effort you put in your poll-system is amazing! I wish there will be some nice results that aren't to logical!
I voted Genesis, but I don't own a lot Renaissance.

Good idea, great effort. It's a pity so many great bands are missing.

Genesis for me.

I love these kind of things.

One thing I might have done, if I had the patience, would be to build a round by round 'seeding' into the draw. For example, the top two most popular groups in terms of votes would be placed at opposite ends of the draw, so there would be less chance of two 'super' groups meeting one another in the earler stages.

That would be tough in this instance though as you've gone down the 'genre' route.
