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.


I wouldn't sweat it, there's a good chance that the vote that put Opeth over the top was done merely to see how many pages of controversy would result.

Well I think it was entertaining enough: the DT vs Talk Talk scare, the Spocks Beard wars, Riverside causing upsets again, the PT vs. After Crying experiment...

No - I voted for Riverside, not against Opeth.
 
Opeth are a really good band but, on balance, I just prefer Riverside.
 
Now Marillion have gone, I'm with Riverside all the way.
 
It seems my anti-Opeth campaign is successful, bwa-ha-ha, but I am truly sorry to see it.  From reviews and comments, it is clear to me that Opeth really is the more favored band amongst our community, I just do not like them at all.  That Riverside has prevailed is a fluke of the tournament.  It's like in a championship game - sometimes the underdog marshalls together and puts on a stellar effort.  This is what happens when you procrastinate!  As it is, I cannot see Riverside defeating Porcupine Tree.  Oh, well.

They are both pretty much equally popular as this poll has proven

not a fluke at all IMO
Prog On!
