Hi progfanatic,

Hatfield and the North.

Caravan.

Camel.

Van der graff generator.

King Crimson.

Gentle Giant.

Gong.

Egg.

Yes.

cressida.

Others of note being Matching mole,ELP,Khan,Steve Hillage,and Peter Hammill.

Hey you are lucky. I made the same mistake of posting a thread that already existed, on tool, and I had about 10 guys ripping on me, but whatever. As for my favorite bands they are, in no particular order

- Indukti( I know they have not done much, but S.U.S.A.R is one of my favorite albums, I cannot wait for a second realese)

- Yes

- Pink Floyd

Van der Graff Generator

- Gentle Giant

- Tool( I do not care if any of you think they are prog or not.)

- Genesis(before hackett left obviously.)

- liquid tension experiment(it gives me hope that one day dream theater will get a new singer, preferably one that writes his own music, or has some sort of musical talent.)

- Le Orme

- Porcupine Tree

no offense but the search button is your friend. this has been done so many times, it's not funny anymore. cant we abolish all "favorite bands/albums/songs/moments" threads once and for all? it's sad enough that many polls are direct comparisons of bands/albums/whatsoever. it would be nice to go a bit deeper into the music and not just rate favorites or two bands against each other. i know it is fun, but I'm just saying that there is more.

on topic: look at my last.fm page, it got all the informations

PS: how prog is stratovarius?
