I guess I don't like to play along with these things. For instance, just because I like Marillion doesn't necessarily mean I like Iluvatar. I like Iluvatar because I do.
I should like IQ if I like the others? Hogwash. IQ to me is OK, not great.
Should I like Citizen Cain because they are a Genesis clone? Not a chance.
I think I was a bit taken back because I saw Tool compared with "early Stavesacre". I don't see it.

The only thing I'll say in defense of this thread, Rick, is that it is geared towards listeners with significantly less knowledge than you. In that case, the Iluvatar/Marillion/Genesis comparison may be helpful. It's still up to each individual to make up their mind whether they like a band or not. And, like the "better than" threads, a lot of opinion is involved. But ultimately, if one new listener that hasn't heard of Iluvatar checks them out and likes them, then this thread has a lot of value. In my opinion...
