Faust is just great, I really think itīs so great they just keep on going do their extraordinary weird albums! At the moment I just canīt remember any other band, that started so experimental and are still as experimental or even more!

I've become somewhat more critical with my teenage favourites Eloy over the years, but Faust never really did it for me, so still Eloy.

[DELETED] I was an uneducated idiot back then and couldn't appreciate the genius of Faust musicians. I would have voted Faust.

Bornemann has one of the most annoying vocal in prog - or music. Maybe its more weak melodies than unmelodic. 

I usually don't mind accented vocals though. Jean-Herve Peron voice isn't nasal and fits Faust's music perfectly - which isn't as melody-based as Eloy.

^ That's what I was thinking - the accented vocals of Jean-Herve Peron is harder on the ears than Bornemann. I never found Bornemann to sound anywhere near iffy.....

I know I would enjoyed Eloy if it wasn't for the nasal, unmelodic vocals (Inside is nice though) that ruins a lot of appealing playing, soundscapes, atmospheres and compositions. 

Faust for me. So Far is my favorite.
