If I could pick outside your list and include anyone that appears on this site I would definitely add-Supertramp, Queen, Radiohead, Crack the Sky and maybe Spock's Beard. Oh and Renaissance, too.

Camel (haven't heard much, but like what I hear)
Gentle Giant (see comments on Camel)
Anyway I think these ten bands should be the standard 'Big 10' as opposed to all these big threes and sixes. Put them in order of your preference.

Totally agree with your last sentence.

Best to worst, sticking to the "big 10"
Camel
Genesis (Hackett era)
Gentle Giant
Pink Floyd
Jethro Tull
Yes
Rush
ELP
King Crimson
VDGG
The last 3 I really don't care for much.
If I had free choice, 3 from Renaissance, Strawbs, Caravan and Gryphon would replace them. Mostly Autumn are better than most of these bands but aren't yet well enough known to be big 10 - yet!

Big Ten is much better than 5 3 or 6 or whatever else. The only band I'd add is Marillion, but they are completely different and came as a result of the big ten.

This is my list, I can't vote for bands that i don't believe are in MY top 10:
- Genesis
- Anglagard
- Pink Floyd
- Kansas
- Jethro Tull
- Yes
- ELP
- Banco del Mutuo Soccorso
- Renaissance
- Focus
What I can't understand uis that somebody votes in a top 10 list for a band that he hasn't heard too much.

From the original list (minus Camel because I've never heard them)
1. Yes
2. King Crimson
3. Gentle Giant
4.Jethro Tull
5. Rush
6. Genesis
7. VDGG
8. ELP
I don't even want to put Pink Floyd in as #9 because the bands on this
list purport to be "progressive". One must really stretch the
definition of progressive to the breaking point to get PF to fit.
