Probably seems a very strange poll, but it makes a certain sense to me. |

| The only thing they have in common is their first name and it's not even spelled the same way. :P |

"Probably seems a very strange poll, but it makes a certain sense to me." It's not a contest for me, but I expect that some will prefer Neal Morse since he is a big name in Prog circles. I think it's easy to draw musical comparisons. Solo singers with guitar as in above, collborations, more rockin' numbers such as: But also because they both commonly have a message in their songs, and at times both might be called preachy in their own way. Perish the thought that I only did this because their Christian names sound the same. :P |

Gotta go with the innovator here, nothing against Neal Morse, but i've never heard anything and gone: "Wow! That sounds like Neal Morse!" Because though he is a good song writer, nothing he writes is unique or particularly distinguishable to him. Also, my favorite Spocks album is post Neal (Brief Nocturnes). ------------- The sun has left the sky... ...Now you can close your eyes |

 Very good.For my next poll, Neil Peart vs. Neil Diamond, or better yet, Neil DeGrasse Tyson vs. Mike Tyson. Kidding, by the way, just in case anyone should take that seriously. You never know. Neil Young is the heavyweight Mike Tyson in this Ne*l fight. |

I never was a listener of what I call American folk music, as a kid/teen it just seemed very boring music to me. I still don't listen to any of it, but I recognize the creativity he has. Growing up listening to funk and R&B his music was miles different than what I liked. I'll pick Neal since I listen to his music. -------------

I've heard the stuff from the 80's, somewhere I have a cassette of Landing On Water friend gave to me.....he didn't like it . I was too much of a metal/prog head then to like his music.Too late now... -------------

^ Awesome.
Never too late to discover new to you music, I would hope. I posted one from this album earlier, but you might like Mirrorball from 1995. The album features members of Pearl Jam.. This is I think a great track. |

I voted for Neil Young, seeing as I have a dozen of his albums. I've heard Neal Morse mentioned on here before, but I don't know much about him. Is he related to Steve Morse of Deep Purple?

That's pretty good......I look at him as a product of the 70s and as I said he was not someone I listened to. Understand where I grew up in So Cal was not how should I say, American Folk music by kinda sorta weird white dudes not played at all . My neighborhood, area and HS were rough.....I'm not Mexican but my name kept me safe lets just say......EW&F, Parliament/Funkadelic, War was the tunes of the day...everyday! Same goes with the ladies in my neighborhood, none of them listened to Carole King -------------

Not related....Neal and one of his brothers, Alan Morse started Spock's Beard in the early 90's. -------------

Neil Young has done a lot of stuff I'm not particularly keen on, but then he has done a lot of stuff, and the stuff I'm not keen on is maybe 30%... so still one of the greats! |

I'd go along with that. I like 70% of the stuff Neil Young has done too, but his 1980's albums, I'm not so keen on.

I watched a Spock's Beard concert recently in the Prog Rock Dock concert series and never even realised I was watching Neal Morse in action, although I recognise him now after Googling his picture.

I have 7 SB records and many more in digital format, but honestly I'm a casual listener of the Beard, The Light and V are excellent....Snow has a great story but it wanes on me. I've seen Neal 4-5x live in his various bands. -------------

Trans is creative for sure, but somehow didn't work for me. I like the fact that he tried this out... but it is not his strength really, as far as I'm concerned.
