Volume 4 will wrap it up!
Let's see how these go and I will do a final round with the four bands that got the most votes out of every poll in a few days.

We must know which is the prog band with the best name! (in the 60s/70s)

Popol Vuh.

Nevertheless, I feel uncomfortable knowing that a German band named themselves as the sacred book of my Guatemalan ancestors. Seems a bit out of place. Anyway, perhaps it's just a nationalistic burst on my part.

Beggars Opera > Mahavishnu Orchestra > the rest.

Beggars Opera sounds like unreleased Jethro Tull epic album from 1973 (the name, not the band!).

Beggars Opera . Like the band name and enjoy the debut album that was heavily Emerson/Nice influenced.
