Here's your chance to help determine the Top 10 Progressive Rock bands of all time. Simply list your Top 10 Prog-Rock bands below and then I'll assign points to your listings as follows:-
 
 
1st band - 30 points
2nd band - 20 points
3rd band - 15 points
4th band - 12 points
5th band - 10 points
6th band - 6 points
7th band - 5 points
8th band - 4 points
9th band - 3 points
10th band - 2 points
 
Remember, this Top 10 poll is for *bands* only - I'll have a separate poll coming up soon for solo artists. Wink
 
Here's my Top 10 to get the poll underway:-
 
1. Renaissance (30 points)
2. Camel (20 points)
3. Pink Floyd (15 points)
4. Yes (12 points)
5. Santana (10 points)
6. Mostly Autumn (6 points)
7. The Moody Blues (5 points)
8. Barclay James Harvest (4 points)
9. Genesis (3 points)
10. Caravan (2 points)
 
 
Good luck and may the best band win! Smile
