On behalf of everyone, thankyou micky for running all these polls :)
bah... you all are the ones that deserve the thanks. For making them fun, and interesting, and inspiring the work we are putting into the next round (the album contest) which will make this contest look flacid by comparison

This is a hard matchup to figure, at the start (of the contest as I had these two in my pre-tourny bracket reaching the final) I would have thought Crimson by a comfortable margin. They are (along with Yes, and ELP) the true kings of Prog Rock, but unlike those two they really don't have negative aspects that can turn people off.
You're not getting away without being called on it. I think you'll find it's Crimson, Yes, & Genesis.

Congrats to the mighty KC for a win that I would have thought impossible at the beginning! I am even happier that the final was not the dreaded Yes vs. Genesis. Now looking forward to the Battle of the Albums! Bring it on!

bah...
Perhaps Genesis or Floyd to make it a 4 or 5 some.. but those are top 3 no doubt. The pinnacle of the prog food chain. They created prog rock, they defined it, and they popularized it and became the 3 bands that non prog fans associate (for better or worse) WITH prog.

Will there be the third place playoff between Yes and ELP?
If so, I hope it's made clear that it's a poll to find the third-best prog band, just in case any newcomers think it's about which is the best.
now that would be fun, but I don't want to overstay the welcome. Everyone needs a break before the mammoth, marathon album contest kicks off.
I've taken a break from working on that, I need to get back to that. Btw.. if you all happen to see some.. rather innocuous looking polls from me. Pay attention, they might related to the upcoming album contest. We have some hard choices to make, and one way to solve them is to put the answers to the questions.
