Oh no, I'm sensing a double loss here...
Hopefully not. Voted against Rush in both matches.

Yep. Rush x 2 here, not even close. Sorry, bud.

Unlucky pairing, I like The Outlaw Torn better than both songs on the second matchup. Rush and Stratovarius for me.

For a good minute, I considered voting for Outlaw Torn just so I later say to @KidInTheDark666 "Ha, told you so!"
But it's damn Villa Strangiato. Together with "Xanadu" I think those two tracks are what got me into Rush.
Even if it was any other song, I doubt I'd click on Stratovarius.

I wish it was Metallica against Stratovarius and Rush against Rush, but here we are. Rush x2.

I voted for The Glass Prison (no idea how ITNOG got this far) and Ghost Of Perdition.

The Glass Prison, easily.
Ghost of Perdition is everything Opeth has to offer. It's a perfect song. It's an epic that never overstays its welcome. It ends and you just want it to keep going. So, in that regard, The Odyssey is a better epic. Both of these are, IMO, the best of each band and this vote sucks.

I find that pretty unfortunate.

While Ghost of Perdition is a top five Opeth track, The Odyssey combines everything that is great about progressive metal in a "compact" package. Easy vote for Symphony X here.
The first match is much more difficult. One one hand, The Glass Prison was the song that got me into Dream Theater. Upon first hearing it I was stunned; I had never heard something so powerful go on for so long, and I had no idea that bassists and keyboardists could be that good. This was my introduction to progressive music. On the other hand, In the Name of God is an emotionally powerful song combining elite playing with Metallica-esque riffs with amazing groove and a soaring chorus. This is really close, but the Train of Thought closer barely edges out the Six Degrees opener for me.

So I'm surprised that Ghost has only two votes (including myself) and I'm surprised that the other voter is Night Prowler. He must really dislike The Odyssey 
I didn't realize Symphony X had that much interest on here.
I had no problems with the first match. I agree that it's surprising ITNOG made it as far as it did. It's a cool song but not even a top 10 Dream Theater song let alone a top tier epic. The Glass Prison is top tier, on the other hand (although still wouldn't be my choice for a final Dream Theater track).
I went with Ghost of Perdition barely and it probably depends on my mood for the day. It's probably that I prefer Opeth overall and both songs are pretty representative of the two bands. I like that Ghost of Perdition keeps the energy going while Odyssey gets stopped in its tracks a few times with slightly too many solos.
