My suggestion for next years showcase....

Yeah seriously, Blotted Science would be awesome. I just picked up The Machinations of Dementia at a Behold...The Arctopus show last night and it is kicking my flippin' ass as I post this. B...TA might be good too. Only problem is I think either of these bands would really annoy/offend a good part of the PP audience.
 
I'd like to see:

Marshall Law
Dominici
Vicious Rumors
Thought Chamber
Seventh Wonder

I know, that's five but why not add another one in there?
 
I would love to see Vanden Plas get another chance.
Then add:

Civilization One
Mindflow
Machine Men
Outworld
 
Lots of interesting bands have been mentioned to be sure... but lets get serious... one of the bands that Glen & Shane should be looking to bring in for the Showcase [IMHO] is MANITOU... they would blow the lid right off ProgPower USA... VANDEN PLAS, if a return is possible would also be dynamite... one can always hope... I am sure the choices will be first rate in any case... Glen's lineups have always been "killer"... I hardly think he is going to slip up now.
