I would go with one missing: Kansas.

But following the poll, I don't understand why Genesis is so ignored, with songs as:
  1. The Knife.
  2. Musical Box
  3. Giant Hogweed
  4. Get 'em Out by Friday
  5. Harold the Barrel
  6. Dancing with the Moonlit Knight
  7. Battle for the Eping Forest
  8. The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway (Pure Rock)
  9. Into the Cage
  10. Dance on a Volcano
Few Prog bands have so many Rock tracks.

And they ROCK!!!!

Iván

Because a lot of them are laced with frilly keyboard bits (re: Selling England by the Pound) and it just doesn't sound right for rocking. I'll give you "The Knife" for sure, and I'll throw in a bonus "Land of Confusion" !
My soundcloud. Please give feedback if you want!

I'm not voting because Rush isn't on here!

seriously, how could you not put them?  I know it's ben said enuf tho so sry lol

But they are the band over anyone on the list here that i rock out to the most and easiest.  Especially when Lee has vocal moments like in 2112 and countless others.... Need to listen to some Rush now, sorry for being a fanboy

Would've been Nektar or Rush, but I went with GG. These guys have hard-ass vocals, amazing riffs, and everything rock you could ask for from a prog band! Giant is one of my favorite prog tracks, so GG gets my vote.
Trendsetter win!

The search for nonexistent perfection.

Gotta go with KC, although Tull is a close 2nd.
