Kayo Dot with Anekdoten as a runner-up. Then it would be Riverside.

Know your audience. Once in awhile tease them a bit but never scare them away. My polls are almost sociological/psychological experiments; sometimes I already have a good idea of what the results will be. The biggest reward is when someone actually discovers something that was previously unknown to them.

Some things I've noticed about the polls here;

- few read the poll question
- people will be unaware that a poll is multiple choice
- a few acts/albums will get all/most the votes (and not only Big 6/7/93 bands)
- proto/related acts in 'Prog Polls'
- you get a sense of what some members tastes are

This presumably applies to everyone who has selected their favourite band from the list in this poll.
 
Mind you, the question doesn't make much sense.

According to the facts,a trilogy over 3 albums and a live album summary it's Riverside all that melody and no choruses. Clearly something to work on guys.

Before I discovered this forum, I wasn't aware how big my soft spot for Renaissance actually is; I knew I kind of like them but I didn't think they belong to the top for me, but now I find myself voting for them on a number of occasions and here I see them head and shoulders above a not so weak pack.
