| Here's two rather well known modern prog bands who both seem to have alternative influences in their prog. Which one gets your vote? |

Gazpacho. Their last album, Fireworker is a killer. |

| It’s hard to choose for me. I’ll have to think very hard before I can vote. |

| Two different bands. There's plusses and minuses with each band. It's difficult to call one above the other so both equal here. |

As put by my housemate/bandmate/friend, The Pineapple Thief is pretty much just "what if Porcupine tree was f*cking boring". On the contrary, Gazpacho makes music that is interesting and original. ------------- I use they/them pronouns (feel free to ask me about this!)

| Soord wins my vote. Gazpacho, perhaps appropriately, leave me cold. |

| Both equally. Very similar bands that both create a nice ambient mood but also equally unremarkable. |

I'm impressed that you can tell them apart

I like both, but haven't listened to either much the last few years. If pressed, I'd say Gazpacho since their best albums beat TPT's best albums imo.
When I think about it, I find that both bands have gone the same direction with their later albums. I don't think the albums are all that unique, but has fallen into a pattern of sounding the same. Maybe more so with TPT than Gazpacho. Gazpacho's latest changes things a bit, but didn't excite me.

isn't that subjective? It's like everyone agree on this issue. I very much doubt that. So which is the best TPT album? Which is the best Gazpacho album?

IMO = in my opinion  Gazpacho - Night TPT is more difficult. I kinda forgot about Dissolution, which I like most of their albums the last ten years. I listened a lot to their early catalogue, and albums melted into eachother at times. I can narrow the best down to What Have We Sown, Tightly Unwound and Dissolution, but I can't pick one, so I'll just say I add them and divide by three. Tightly Sown Dissolution. If you want objectivity, or should I say statistics, PA ratings has Night at 4.12 and Dissolution at 3.99.

Thanks for answering and clarifying. . No, I wasn't thinking of objectivity. Just misunderstood what you said there.
