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.

ROFLMAO....Wait till you see some of the latest additions.

Pink Floyd is 100% Progressive.

I'm going to take this to mean the bands that I like the most to the bands that I hate the most (Best to worst):

    1.) Kansas
    2.) Yes
    3.) Ayreon
    4.) Rush
    5.) Pink Floyd
    6.) Genesis
    7.) Uriah Heep
    8.) Porcupine Tree
    9.) ELP
  10.) Spock's Beard

I dig the first six, but after that I start to hate seven on down.
I wake to Sleep and I take my Waking slow,
I feel my fate in what I cannot fear,
I learn by going where I have to go.

Lord Qwerty has always felt music to be centered around tastes and enjoyment, not 'greatness'.

1. King Crimson

2-10. Any old random band...
Lord Qwerty is remarkably pretentious.

Boy, reading strangers' lists of the same ten bands over and over again (& mostly without commentary) makes for some really enthralling reading, eh? Ermm

Gripping -- absolutely gripping! Stern Smile

I just cannot get enough of these types of lists, and "X vs Y" polls! Big smile

Number 10 not prog?  Check out their era from 1970-1980, then prepare to have your mind changed.
