I was looking at the Popular top 40 list and I started to wonder what are the qualities that make a prog band popular at some stage in their career. What come to mind first is the ability to fill concert halls, sell platinum albums maybe even feature on a video game like Guitar hero ll (how many prog bands get to do that !) anyway I noticed a few deserving bands are not listed on the front page of this site so I thought I would put one of them up against several that are just to see how things turn out  Smile

I know exactly what you're getting at Yorkie.
 
However, my vote is easily for IQ.  They've always been very popular with me.

I haven't heard Anekdoten yet.

In terms of popularity on this site, I've seen a lot of Kansas love, so I vote it.

Coheed is by far my favorite on the list. Despite my increasing disappointment with them (which they would hopefully remedy with their next record).

If I know what the lexicon sez about the word "popularity"....its got to be Kansas. IQ is 2nd....a long way off ....the rest can follow where ever they please. But if your'e talking about PROGULARITY....Kansas will be "there somewhere"!! Period!

I voted Ozric Tentacles, but Kansas is a close second. Speaking of Ozric Tentacles, their new album should be here tomorrow or the next day.

Kansas is definetely the most popular, though I'm wondering why Coheed & Cambria isn't getting many votes. Most people my age (high school) know about them. The rest of the bands on the list I had never had heard of before coming here.
