I still vote for Yes. However, I still think they met too early, they shouldn't have been allowed to meed until at least one more round. As a matter of fact, the polls should have been disigned so that any among Yes, Genesis, King Crimson, Pink Floyd, and perhaps Jethro Tull, ELP, and Dream Theater would have met themselves the latest possible. (I believe the first four shouldn't have been allowed to meet until the very semi-finals, because they were the most likely to beat everybody else). However, we all must be grateful to Undercover Boy for desinging this polls, which have been great fun, and I certainly wouldn't have bothered myself with the time required to do this.
So, whatever happens now, Undercover Boy, just do as you see fit and don't give in to all the complaints we have to make, you will only end up hating your tournament instead of enjoying it as you and all of us should.

Yeah, I've never been a fan of Genesis' static compositions, nor Peter Gabriel's monotone, one might say "sedate" vocal delivery.

Hey, you didn't advertise it enough.....I was risking to miss my vote for YES....

I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

I didn't realise the original poll was so controversial Wink.  Good to see the sequel is as close as ever.
 
Anyway, I'm still voting for Yes.

Same as last time--Genesis.
The damage that we do is just so powerfully strong we call it love

The damage that we do just goes on and on and on but not long enough.

Away from the grand controversy for a moment: Mr Undercoverboy, when do you think the next match (Caravan v Mahavishnu) will be up and running?  After the rematch is finis?

I suppose it should be at least semifinal if not final, but it's just 3 round. It's ridiculous! Eventually I vote for Yes. I think they are the prog kings

Wow it's virtually tied again.
I voted for Yes last time, but I really have to think about this one. I've started to like Genesis more and more lately.
