Perhaps there should be a battle between the most harmless prog-rockers?

Most meek and whimsical band wins.

That little boy from the Fruupp LP cover might stand a chance.

Now all we need to two serious suggestions for Round 8.

Check this out for some suggestions,

http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6976

You'll have to do some work as apparently that page is so old it predates pictures on the internet.

For Round 8 I suggest we unleash Vangelis's The Dragon:

And as no-one stepped up.... To fight one beast from the sea:




Eloy's Atlantis ' Agony At June 5th - 8498, 13 P.M. Gregorian Earthtime Or is it Poseidon?

That Dragon looks very much like

I agree.

Oh, and one good thing about the album ruining thread we ran the other day, we now know the Nursery Crymes Girl with croquet mallet is called Cynthia.

Of course she is.

So, it's nearly Quarter Final tyme:

QF 1:
Martian Tripod Vs. ??

QF 2:
Gentle Giant Octopus vs. Amon Düül's Stormtrooper beetle-demon 1

QF3:
News of the World Robot Vs. Cynthia   1


QF4:
Budgie's Budgies 1 Vs Vangelis's Cthulhu

We need another more occasional member of the forum to make a decider between Magma Claw and the Kansas Phoenix!

Flibbs?
Nik?
Zarniwoop?
That guy who liked Steps?
Sir Dave?

Tina Turner? Chess Bot 4000?


Edited to add; Buttertubs?

I just assumed he'd be annoying and not get involved and go "bah, humbug!" and everything.
