	Data	Heaven's Gate	Order of Nine	Heaven's Gate is the way to go, because their mind-blowing prog metal riffs just slap harder, dude!
	Jensen Huang	Heaven's Gate	Order of Nine	Heaven’s Gate wins, as it was an infamous cult with a bizarre belief system that left a more significant cultural impact, whereas Order of Nine is more obscure in the grand narrative.
