I prefer Bands like Jethro Tull,Gentle Giant,King Crimson or Zappa but the early Genesis is the best from the list in my opinion.

I voted Genesis, cause Phil's drumming is great.  He's quite dexterous and technical; maybe Peart got something out of him.

You don't know very much about Pink Floyd, I suggest some of the stuff before DSOTM, any album will do. But you obviously don't know anything about them if you think the keybord player is a muppet, (what is that supposed to mean about how he plays musically anyway?), and you think the guitar player plays the same solo, I guess you don't know what a playing style is either if you think he is exactly the same everytime.

I guess your just another prog snob that needs music to have virtuoso players in it if you want to enjoy it, a very shallow and ingnorant way to view music. Just because a song isn't prog doesn't mean it is bad, so what if Floyd arn't in the same class as those other two bands, does that mean they arn't enjoyable. Try listening to more than one album before you judge a band.

 Amen, I can find so much in each album that I like, weather it is more prog than Yes or Genesis doesn't matter, the music is beautiful.

Absolutely. That's why my vote goes to Genesis.
One likes to believe
In the freedom of music
But glittering prizes
And endless Compromises
Shatter the illusion
Of integrity
