I'm still hoping for Wolf. Besides Saxon, they're the top band I want to see that I haven't. I've sort of given up though unfortunately.
 
Mastodon is more of a stretch for a #4 slot. Their last disc went to #11 on the Billboard charts in the U.S., and their previous disc #32. If they were ever to play ProgPower, I would think it would be as a headliner.


Atlanta is also their hometown. They can sell out a 2,000 seat venue on their own.

I don't disagree. They just got a huge amount of press for their last album so I thought I'd play with fire a bit. I'd much rather see an Austrailian band like Eyefear or Karnivool get the spot, or someone like Day Six, Crises, Cynic, LanFear, Subsignal, etc. But I was trying to stick to popularity for who might sell more than a wish list of mine.

Probably would have had as much luck throwing darts at a board ;)

Saxon...

So although I'm a child of the 80s, I never owned a Saxon disc. Still don't. No idea how this happened, given how many cassettes I bought back in the day. As it turns out, they were at Wacken in 2007 and Sweden Rock at 2008. They absolutely slayed both times. Much respect. They're clearly built for the mega Euro festivals.

3. Pharaoh
4. Hammers of Misfortune
5. Pyramaze
6. Sabaton

Saturday

you've got 3 return bands so I think you might be in some trouble :Spin:

Given that the winner will probably have picked 4 bands at most, it's actually strategically sensible to just go with bands you consider likely rather than try to guess. Given that the universe of likely returning bands is rather small, someone who picks three returns is almost certain to get at least one right.

That's actually a pretty good strategy. As soon as I submitted my list I started having "ah hell, I meant to include X" moments.
