Symphony X, actually. But I'd be glad if Radiohead won as well, both fantastic albums in their own way.

Symphony X. I could write a chapter and a verse about how OK Computer was when I started to dislike Radiohead, but given this album's reputation I'd probably get hammered for it  :lol

Really what? It's arguably SX's best and a fantastic album. Some folks just don't dig Radiohead and others who do may like this album better.

I'm not really that happy with the result either, but honestly, did you expect a band like Radiohead to win over a band like Symphony X on a PROGRESSIVE METAL forum? :P
No matter how horrible the Prog Metal album would be, it would still win with most votes.
