old Prog Rock band that you would want to reform?

Genesis - Gabriel & Hackett years...

From  this list I'd vote for Genesis.

But my greatest wish of all time must be seeing Ark getting back together in. Too bad it propably won't ever happen

Uhm... DALTON.

I believe that it has been really an agreeable reunion for every Italian Proghead!!!

Gentle Giant

You dissapointed us all, Whistler.

I expected that you will suggest reunion of Tull with:

1) Ian,
2) his hair & beard,
3) old tramp's boots & dirty cloak,
4) old lineup.

Well, if you don't, I will.

Pink Floyd

I voted for ELP - not necessarily wanting them to reform permanently, but to at least get together and produce one more album.

Not an album along the lines of their later, more commercial-sounding efforts, though. I would like to see ELP produce an instrumental concept album based on a very specific theme, for example a novel full of pathos such as Silas Marner, Tess of the d'Urbervilles, The Yearling, etc. I would like to see the three really study the chosen book and write emotive, progressive music tied closely to the story, making sure they keep away from commercial-sounding pop-rock or attempts to emulate (or imitate, for that matter) classical music.

I would also like to see them produce joint compositions, not individual compositions. OK, each one might come up with a basic theme, but I'd like to see a joint effort on honing each track -- if indeed the album were to be split into tracks, as I think it could be seemless, with the different 'chapters' segueing into each other.

I reckon that they could come up with something interesting.

Floyd would be cool, but not as cool as Gabriel-led Genesis. Of course, I voted for Emerson Lake 'n Palmer, just because they needed the help. And that would be pretty sweet.

I would hate to see the first KC or ELP, because Greg Lake's voice is shot, and all you'd do is tie up Keith Emerson or Robert Fripp from doing great things.

Genesis would probably not be that great, as the setlist would probably consist of more from Invisible Touch and ABACAB than Selling or Foxtrot, because the pop is what sells.

Personally, I would like to see Gentle Giant from this list.
