These threads degenerate quickly. Especially when wisdom is ignored and Sigur Ros doesn't win as worst band ever.

If they're bad I don't listen to them, so I'm utterly unqualified to judge. If they're bad and you've bothered to listen to them enough to have a definitive opinion, you're wasting your time. I guess someone has too much spare time on their hands...

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

I don't know about "Worst Prog Band," but I'd vote Steve Howe's first solo LP as Worst Prog Album! Ugh!
The first Greenslade LP didn't float my boat, but I haven't heard it in years. I tend to avoid bad prog, it shortens your life!

Let's face it, we've had this about a dozen times, and the answer's always been the same.. either ELP or..

I've yet to hear a prog band that I dislike - but I'm quite selective with my CD buying and listening.
Compared to other music genres (modern R&B, Rap,etc), I find it hard to make any substantial negative comments about any prog band.
So my answer? The worst prog band?..............................There isn't one!

Anyway, I'm not going to complain like a whiny brat in this thread, so I will participate by saying GTR (if that's prog). I don't like Ozric Tentacles either.

Picking a "worst" is much worse than picking a "best". It's easy to pick the most over-appreciated or underrated band, but the worst? Kudos to Jim for his comment

I won't say "worst" but Brian Eno is probably my least favorite artist.

1 - best/worst, all subjective
2 - pointless negativity 3 - waste of server space |

All other arguments are void.
Couldnt get through an entire album of theirs in one sitting, but they are talented are weird, unpredictable... I think they're worth a listen.

I don't think theres a be all and end all or bad prog bands, but Psyopus are close... Whoever writes a track called "The Pigkeeper's Daughter" has something wrong with them
I'd also put UneXpecT in a close second - Just really, really screwed up stuff. -Joel |

There are certainly alot of bands out there that are progressive, but not necessarily 'enjoyable' to listen to.
I'd have to state my first pick as the band Psyopus. They're a real ''''tasty treat'''' if you catch my drift.
