It's not fair you have put 3 of my favorites bands in round 1!

Ahh, the luck of the draw. My two favorite bands in the first bracket, I'll vote for "The Flower Kings" this time as I'll be able to vote for Genesis in the second round.

Hawkwind will trash Pink Floyd: And if for some reason (Which will obviously involve dodgy dealings indeed)PF overcome the mighty Hawks  then TD or KS will put an end to there hopes of any silverware in this years cup! 
BTW Genesis (With apologies to the others who I don't know well).

Voted for TFK, one of my favorite bands, but I know they'll be crushed by Genesis in this poll. At least it's great to see that they got more votes than two renowed bands such as Renaissance and Änglagård.

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.

That's usually what I tried to do in my past tournaments. Maybe someday I'll do another one again and improve heavily on it.

I agree - while I love TFK and Anglagard (esp Space Revolver and Hybris, respectively) - Genesis is in a whole different category for me. Then again, that might have something to do with the fact that my wife gave me Genesis' 1973-2007 live box set for Christmas! Oh, Renaissance is very nice as well - wish I had been able to catch them on their recent tour...

The finals were Pink Floyd and King Crimson. King Crimson won. I also held another one without the "Big 4" and Gentle Giant beat Van Der Graaf Generator in those finals.

I normally don't vote on band vs band threads, but you won me over with your impressive bracket
Genesis for me, mainly because I don't really care for any of the others

This, of course, will end predictably (unless it doesn't, but heh).
He puts Kansas against Yes and Echolyn against ELP! 
You Philistines will vote for ELP without even hearing the amazement that is Echolyn!
Okay, I'll stop being a cry baby now and only add to the problem of predictability: Another vote for Genesis.

I think Yes is up next, or the one after, I don't have Josh's (not so) little chart memorized. I think he's grouping by genre, and grouping each poll into a group of four.
