I gotta go with Tull, as they are the only band that I can see Beavis and Butthead rocking out to.

"In the shuffling madness...of locomotive breath..."

"Uh...this is pretty cool.."

"Hehe, yeah this rocks!"

*headbanging ensues*

"Whoa check it out dude...codpieces rule!"

"Hehehe yeah! That's like armor for your wiener!"

"Yeah, you can't be too careful with like, groupies and stuff."

*More headbanging*

isn't that a Whistler poll?



Quiet you fool! You want people to vote in this thing, right? 

Ahem. As for me...hmm...a true battle between Tull and Crimso, with ELP tagging just behind.

well....It's Kansas of course, and then Rush... but from the list, I'll have to go with JT as well.

P.S. When YES decided to rock, they RAWKED!!!! (see "Release, Release" for example)

The Tull. Though Zappa and Rush really should be on this list.

I think the early Camel works are very hard rock'n. The heavy crimson parts don't sound very rock'n to me.

I have chosen these artists because of the popularity and classic status they have achieved. I would be glad to hear why a band I left out rocks the most. Out of the bands I have listed, I vote for Jethro Tull. They have many songs that are heavily blues inspired. Even their most progressive albums have moments of sheer rockingness. They also seem to have more rock type guitar riffs. 

Well did you think I wasn't going to mention Rush being the most rockin'? LOL

And they fit into the classic Prog era as well. They started out as a blues based band.

Tull.  Star Just watch some of the mid - 70s video clips on this site and you will see.   This is not to say that the other bands don't rock as well. Not even Rush rocks more.

Camel. Songs like "Supertwister" and "Another Night" are great rockers.

I guess I need to listen to Camel or VdGG again. I don't recall any ballsy rock songs. They seem kind of low key.
