So many great bands , its a bit unfair to do just a top 10. Positions 3 to 10 may change from week to week

1 ELP

2 Soft Machine

3 Yes

4 KC

5 FZ

6 Miles Davis

7 Rush

8 VDGG

9 Spinetta

10 Genesis

Hmmm, my top 10 (not fully in order):-

1. Pink Floyd

2. Yes

3. The Flower Kings

4. Genesis

5. IQ

6. ELP

7. UK

8. Eloy

9. Glass Hammer

10. Spock's Beard

Subject to regular change. Rush, DT, Quasar, Tangs, PT and FM are presently bubbling just under but next week may be in the lower reaches of the top 10.

Sticking to "regular" prog, keeping zeuhl and avant-prog and all that jazz out of this. It's probably a highly temporary list (although I tried to make a one that will last), but anyway:

1. Van der Graaf Generator
2. Änglagård
3. Trettioåriga kriget
4. Genesis
5. Gentle Giant
6. King Crimson
7. Gnidrolog
8. Around here things start getting less absolute... Yes is here somewhere, as are Kaipa's first three albums, maybe Rush too. And Camel. And Sinkadus. Readers of the list can pick their own "bottom three" from these bands.

Anyway, let's make another list, true for the very moment.

1. King crimson

2. Van Der Graaf generator

3. Robert Wyatt

4. Pink Floyd

5. Comus

6. Can

7. Eskaton

8. Discipline

10. Spyrogira

It will be different tomorrow you know.

Nirvana= quite nice???

Not so sure about that...

I just don't like punk, and even compared to Green Day (which I also don't like), Nirvana's still not good.

Punk=awful
Nirvana=really awful
