I'd definitley pick Akerfeldt, but Townsend is also one of my all-time favourite artists.

Devin has lots of flashes of brilliance, but I'm not really a fan of any of his albums. I am a fan of Opeth.

I like Devin more, but Opeth is still great.

This is a really good poll. I wouldn't have thought of it, but then again, I'm not very creative, so...
If this is whose work we like more, then I'd say Devin. I respect Opeth and what Mikael has done, but I never felt the connection for any of their work that I do with Ocean Machine and, to a lesser extent, Terria. But as musicians, they're both amazing, so I won't compare them any further. |

Devin is amazing but Mikael's songwriting and growling beats all.

Mikael 100%. Devin's good but I'm not a major fan of his stuff.

Well yeah, I know that they are very different, wasn't really my goal to compare two similar musicians. I just knew that these were two fairly big names and wanted to see which one this community liked more. And yes, I'm fairly positive they enjoy each other's music. In fact, they're both on the song "Stand" off Deconstruction, awesome song too. But yeah, for me Devy is the obviously choice just because I think Terria, Ziltoid, and Deconstruction are better than anything Opeth put out. But hey, Opeth is still on my favorite band list, it's just Devy tops it. Seeing both live in October so I'm happy.

I�ve chosen the "It�s Impossible to decide option". I don�t think they are comparable. Their music styles are so far from each other that it makes no sense. I�m pretty sure though that they are both fans of the other�s music.
When I saw SYL on the tour the "The New Black" they played "The Drapery Falls" at full volume just before entering the stage. What a majestic way to build up to a show.

Even though it's pointless to rate and pick, seeing as they are both modern legends...
...I'll do it anyway. Compositions Mikael Conceptual Devin Musicianship Devin Production Devin Vocals (Clean) Devin Vocals (Growled) Mikael Devin 'tis. |
