Same thing happened with GG-VDGG and Dream Theater-Riverside if I'm not wrong.

The logical explanation could be that those of the winning party don't care about this poll anymore
while the losing party has to find comfort in visiting this poll every day to see the winners go down.
Oh, and it helps LOL

Kidding, in a poll between Yes an Genesis both are deserved winners.




Please talk about that with my internet connection :-)


One of my best achievements in life was to find this picture :D

Woah toughy. Gabriel and just post Genesis material is undoubtly great. But not in the same class as Yes at their best, say CTTE, Fragile, GFTO, Relayer, etc.

Where is the comparison, Genesis were the original public school output, full of Greek plays, Victoriana and Urban London and New York Myth and I saw this band when they where still playing in pubs. Yes...another matter, another brilliant band but lyrics that at best were dire and songs that made no sense. Mussically it has to be YES but lyrically it goes to GENESIS. So maybe Hogweed is Avenged or maybe it is too Close to the Edge. You cant possibly decide between them, they are different bands and in no way alike....to me thay are both briliant.
