Don't forget this Top 10  poll is only for bands. You can include Rick Wakeman & Mike Oldfield in my upcoming solo artists poll. Wink

This is how the Top 10 is shaping up so far after the first thirteen rounds of voting:-
 
1. Genesis (175 points)
2. Pink Floyd (174 points)
3. King Crimson (142 points)
4. Yes (111 points)
5. Jethro Tull (62 points)
6. Soft Machine (55 points)
7. ELP (53 points)
8. Magma (49 points)
9. Henry Cow (46 points)
10. Renaissance (40 points)
 
While Genesis & Pink Floyd battle it out for first place, Rush are trailing way behind on just 25 points,  surprisingly. Geek

Me neither, and I was really surprised to find I was the only one who voted for Camel in their Top 10. Confused
 
Who would have guessed that Henry Cow would be more highly rated here than Rush!?? Geek

Well you've still got relatively few voters, it's also a result of the heavy weighting you give 1st place versus other positions, my 30 points for HC plus a 5th & 6th counts high versus a number of people putting Rush in their lower rankings

It looks like Earl of Mar and Gentle and Giant have just helped to even up the score for Rush. Wink
 
You may already know this, but the reason I chose that particular points system for a Top 10 is because all of the numbers divide neatly into sixty. Smile

1. Yes
2. Rush
3. Genesis
4. King Crimson
5. Kansas
6. Camel
7. Pink Floyd
8. Porcupine Tree
9. Marillion
10. The Flower Kings


Note: I like ELP, VDGG and Gentle Giant quite a bit but they didn't quite crack my top ten. Spock's Beard just missed my top ten also. I'm not familiar with most of the post Neal era so there's that. Also, I'm not familiar enough with as much IQ as I should be so they miss the top ten spot also. All are worthy contenders. The same with Big Big train and Magma who I only heard a couple of albums by.
