Toughest poll in this tournament. Maybe both bands should advance to final, maybe together they would be a struggle  for mighty porcupines

Have I posted in this poll, yet? I can't be mussed about to recall. I vote Riverside, but it's only due to this line-up.

Riverside is like a stray dog... I keep trying to get it to leave and it keeps coming back for more. 

Opeth by default.

That's a surprise, as good as Riverside are, they ain't that good.

In 45 minutes I'll close the poll (9:00 Prog Archives time). With this score (51-51), Riverside is advancing to the finals.

Poll's over. No tiebreaker needed.

Final Score: Riverside 52- Opeth 51 (poll with the most votes)

Riverside is the other finalist. And to think just yesterday Opeth had a 10 vote advantage... Cry

Good for Riverside, they're really one of those bands that I've never really taken the time to get familiar with, maybe I should do that before the finals.

See, I am absolutely thrilled that Riverside made it to the end and admittedly a little surprised as well.  Go Riverside!

Now Opeth takes the lead once again. Where the f**k where those who voted for Opeth AFTER the poll was closed? Angry

Jokes and fanboyism apart, it would have been much more interesting a Porcupine Tree- Opeth final. Porcupine Tree and Riverside have almost the same fan base. My guess is that on the finals, all those vote will go to PT. Perhaps I'm wrong. We'll have to wait and see.

Yeah, PT will win the tournament, just like we all predicted months ago. How boring... Unhappy
