circus maximus
I figured it might be interesting to get a sense of which bands we really felty would finally appear at PP but were once again left off the bill for one reason or another. Here is my list with a short explanation:
3. Eldritch- Another band with extensive catalog that i just felt would have made the bill next year.
I'm not really shocked at any of the bands announced so far, but I will be very surprised if Rhapsody doesn't end up being one of the headliners.
Morgana Lefay - and I'm not even just talking this year, I'm talking in general I'm surprised they haven't played ProgPower at all.
Anubis Gate
(two excellent cd's in a row, and there's been some love thrown their way from various forum-dwellers)
:Smokin:
Yep - Now that the second album is out, I thought these guys were a slam-dunk for PPIX. Maybe it's because they already have other U.S. dates scheduled for 2008. (??)

Mob Rules is another that comes to mind; has anyone seen the dvd? Another quality band that is awesome live as exhibited in their dvd. Hopefully they will hit the PP stage in 09!
THE PRETTY FUCKING MAIDS. Everyone I talked to at Merch was saying how "it had to be this year" for the Maids and yet time and time again, there are bands significantly less qualified and relevent who get the nod. It's really fucking bugging me. I'm just waiting like a motherfucker to be announcing on every goddamned thread someday "I told you so". I can't fucking wait.
