for the life of me I can not remember who the finalists were the last time we had the battle of the bands here. I think I boycotted it after ELP went down LOL

I don't know about being in the lead but a few years ago they would certainly have got a lot further than the first round, and only a year ago a Yes/Genesis final would have been an absolute shoe in.

Unfortunately a lot of the appreciation for the metal side of prog seems to have disappeared as well.Ouch

since I wrote the test... I know the questions.  Missing one immediated DQ's members from voting in polls.

1) Is ELP the better band than Camel?
2) Is PFM the better band than Jethro Tull?
3) Does Genesis music put you to sleep?



#1 is indeed ELP, but for some reason people keep voting for the 2nd tier band named after unfiltered cigarettes.
 
#2 is a trick question. The Italian wedding band is only better than Tull in the labyrinthine, cob-webbed corridors of Micky's muddled mind.
 
#3 is also a trick question because you have to be anesthetized to enjoy Genesis.


LOLLOLClap

Micky's mind is good place to be though man... at least you know you are free of the herd mentality..


baaah... Wink

A surprisingly easy vote for King Crimson for me.  Both bands are great and to be honest I probably prefer Pink Floyd, but my vote had to go to KC for being the better progressive rock band.

My 2 favourite bands... But KC is the obvious pick for me here!

no... no written test. We have lots of non English writers here.  The reason we got stuck with the ratings for reviews. We do have non English writers here. Just think how much fun this would to have 100's of Mandrakeroot reviews here run through online translators LOL We are all encompassing here.

Simple test... 3 easy yes-no questions. Miss one... and you shouldn't be able to vote here LOL
