TMV let's kick some ass!

I look up, I'm almost blinded
by the warmth of what's inside me
and the taste that's in my soul,
but I'm dead inside as I stand alone...

I'm voting for the Mars Volta, but I'm very surprised that Spock's Beard isn't winning.

I much prefer the Beard. Actually I don't like Mars Volta at all.

I'm voting for the Volta. Having heard several albums by both, neither are my cup of tea, but I respect the way the Volta have been able to establish a very unique and individual sound. The Beard, though? Well, to put it nicely I think their tastes and mine are very, very different.

Spock's Beard are true prog songwriters. I haven't been a fan for long.. since X, but that was an amazing album from beginning to end. Mars Volta just doesn't sound right to me. Whiny vocals, whiny guitars.. they seem like a bunch of guys who enjoy writing music but aren't true professionals and had some success. Concertina is the only Mars Volta song that I consider listenable (that I've heard). I can understand that some people enjoy a different sound, but Spock's Beard are professionals who write great prog music with their own style.
Also I can't vote in this poll for some reason.. post count required?

Spock's Beard are one of the better bands on here and The Mars Volta are one of the worst.
Makes it easy for me.
