Forget about the music for a minute. I don't care which band you like the best this time. Which of these bands would physically decimate the other bands on the list? We're talking violence, people. The colliseum. A crowded, drunken barroom. A fricken cage match. Fight club business. As for lineups, we're going by whatever lineup produced their highest rated album on PA. For example, Genesis would have Gabriel, Banks, Collins, Rutherford, and Hackett (Selling England by the Pound). Kansas would have Livgren, Walsh, Ehart, Steinhardt, Hope, and Williams (Leftoverture). Also, as far as age goes, we're going by the age they were when they produced their highest rated albums. That way we won't have a gaggle of geezers facing off against young whippersnappers (although that would be kind of cool). So who will be crowned king of "Mortal Progbat?" ------------- https://epignosis.bandcamp.com/album/a-month-of-sundays" rel="nofollow - https://epignosis.bandcamp.com/album/a-month-of-sundays |

Nineteen people on one album? Remember- just the people on their highest rated album. Not everybody who has ever been involved. ------------- https://epignosis.bandcamp.com/album/a-month-of-sundays" rel="nofollow - https://epignosis.bandcamp.com/album/a-month-of-sundays |

King Crimson (just remembering Muir and his strange animal suit)
The others could get on the run, don´t you think so?
And, on the other hand....the guys from Opeth are big enough to kick some asses

Who voted Kansas? All they are is dust in the wind! Opeth? Yeah they sound scary, but Akerfeldt wouldn't hurt a fly

I don't know fellas...Kansas had six corn-fed boys from the Midwest with experience in barroom brawls. Look at Rich Williams, Robby Steinhardt, and Dave Hope.

Pansies. Guy #1 (from the left) looks like a girl (maybe is a girl- I don't know Magma). Guy #2 looks like he just farted. Guy #3...okay, Guy #3 could kick my ass (and so could Guy #5, to be honest). Guy #4 looks like he belongs on "Hannah Montana." Guy #6 looks like a toothpick with hair. Guy #7 should be in a lab conducting experiments on what compels bands to make up silly languages. And Guy# 8 looks like he's auditioning for the part of Saruman the White. ------------- https://epignosis.bandcamp.com/album/a-month-of-sundays" rel="nofollow - https://epignosis.bandcamp.com/album/a-month-of-sundays |

Magma: Christian Vander once said: "when I hit my cymbals, it's like I kill the people in face of me!". How more aggressive can you be? By the way, the "Guy#1" on the picture is STELLA VANDER, singer and wife of Christian (how can anyone "miss" the breasts???) |

Psh. We are proggers. We care naught for breastage...we care for what she (he?) does in the band!
And...damn, I'm gonna hafta think about this one. Reminds me of a poll I planned on doing once about what prog band you'd want to help you move a couch.
Mabye it would be ELP...they DID have knives, spinning pianos and giant drum kits on their side. Was the Tarkus unit ever used on stage? Could they pilot it?
Hold that thought; how big is Brian Eno? Dude looks scary. Bet he could take 'em. ------------- "There seem to be quite a large percentage of young American boys out there tonight. A long way from home, eh? Well so are we... Gotta stick together." -I. Anderson |

Normally I'd go for Magma automatically, but Mikael might be considered a borderline alcoholic if he drinks as much as I've heard he does, and that combined with his BREEing could be scary. In the end, I guess I have to narrow it down to Vander v. Akerfeldt, although I'd imagine some of the sounds that would come from both people would be interesting. Although in the end, Magma has superiority in numbers, so unless Opeth found a way to gain a huge advantage technologically, then Magma would probably win. [/commanding officer mode] -------------
