The PA ProgBand Elimination Series: Preliminary

Okay, I figured we need a new game around these parts and it'd be great to get some really heavy participation.

Instead of starting the game with bands that I'd choose, I figured I should let you guys suggest some of your favorite prog bands to be included (or any prog band that you want, really, doesn't matter).

Here is the protocol for this poll/process:
1. You are allowed to suggest 2 bands in your post for inclusion in the game; these will fill empty spots in the poll options. Once 11 more people have used their full suggestions (since I'm suggesting 2 as well), then the "Other" spot will be there for others to throw out other bands to be included in this game.
2. You may only vote for 1, however, as I'm not including multiple votes for reasons that most of you know, as it really has the potential to screw with the data.

Succinct version: Feel free to suggest 1 or 2 bands for inclusion in this game. You may only vote for 1 band that you suggest or one that is already included. Your vote does NOT have to be for the 2 you suggest.


The actual game will be posted as soon as the results from this are tallied and I compile the list of bands to compete for the first round. This game will be similar to those elimination games you may have seen before where all of the bands' albums start out with so many points and you have options of keeping the ones you favor and knocking out the ones you don't like.

Feedback will be extremely appreciated, in respect for bands to be included and for anything involving this game I'm going to be holding in this Just for Fun section for a while.



***This has NO connection with the completely unrelated "PA's Battle to Stardom" tournament I'm also currently holding in the Prog Polls section.***


NOTE: (I edited this in after a few minutes of posting)
Let's strictly keep this game in the series to prog BANDS rather than solo artists, since I may do something with that later.

Klaus Schulze and Robert Wyatt.

Sorry for deleting my post earlier, I thought you mentioned specifically bands, not artists as well.

Okay...Porcupine Tree and CAN then

I'll add them at once and then you can make your vote at any time before the poll is closed (but I'll warn as that gets closer later, I want to give this some time for responses first, obviously).

I did expect you to say Tangerine Dream as one of your suggestions though, so that caught me off guard.

I humbly suggest Talk Talk and Goblin.

I did expect you to say Tangerine Dream as one of your suggestions though, so that caught me off guard. I did suggest them back a while, in another band-battle poll (you're not the first one nor the last, you know ), and they lost, and my feelings were hurt, so...

Well, you could have given them a second chance.

Opeth (obvious enough) and 3

VdGG are my favorite band overall, but I've been digging Can more lately so I voted for them.

Well, I'm listening to Dream Theater now, so I'll go for them.
Between The Buried and Me as well.
