Play the ProgPower USA Ultimate Roster Fantasy Game

[Kez]

What all of this shows me is that Circus Maximus and Seventh Wonder are as close to universally popular (among this group of forumites) as any band listed, though I'm sure someone will be doing the math to prove me wrong.

Just sayin'

Haven't read a single reply or otherwise checked out this thread (yet), but here's my picks. Starting out with a "Best Of PPUSA" seemed a no-brainer, but budgetary restrictions interfered, so I dialed it down to what (I think) seems like a "Critical Acclaim" PPUSA roster would seem like...if "time", "breakups", or "relevance" meant nothing...although Glenn did put a "modern relevance" codicil on this, didn't he?

FRIDAY --
Nightwish
Angra
Mercenary
Angel Dust
Zero Hour
Superior



SATURDAY --
Evergrey
Pagan's Mind
Brainstorm
Freak Kitchen
Darkwater
Pyramaze

Bottom line? $60 spent...not expecting any change here!

edit: kinda pissed about having to cut D.C. Cooper...but it couldn't be helped...dammit!

Rock on!

I find that picture relevant every time I talk to Milton.

Shit, what a coincidence! It's relevant to your post too!

Both almost made my list at several moments. I held off of Seventh Wonder due to the number of prior appearances, ditto for C.M., due to Michael's everpresence.

But I love them both, just the same!

For me, your roster is one of the better ones i've seen.

If only you would have extended the budget $1 to get Haken too!

[Mr. Zane of HW]

sad thing is, is that if Halcyon Way was booked for only 1.00, that would be more than most promoters are willing to pay, hehe ( i kid i kid, or maybe i don't

 

[Thebobert5]

I don't post here much, but figured this was a good cause to relinquish my lurker badge. Especially since I won't be able to afford my Gold Badge this year, and might not even get a regular ticket!


Anywho, here goes...

FRIDAY:
1. Blind Guardian ($10)
2. Tyr ($7)
3. Delain ($6)
4. Elvenking ($2)
5. Oceans Of Sadness ($2)
6. Vangough ($1)

SATURDAY:
1. Therion ($10)
2. Devin Townsend Band ($9)
3. Freak Kitchen ($5)
4. Diablo Swing Orchestra ($4)
5. While Heaven Wept ($3)
6. Illusion Suite ($1)

Total: $60
Savings: Yeah. That's not gonna happen.

Actually, what would be ideal, in my book is have Blind Guardian and Iced Earth play, and then have Demons and Wizards do a set. <3

 

[Fizrider]

Once?

My bad - I thought the time I had seen them (year before last) was a repeat of a prior PPUSA. Oops.

Because, like, Seventh Wonder rocked.
