It’s hard to choose, since most of them are quite original and really good. I went with Jethro Tull, just a hair above King Crimson.

I like how Procol Harum sounds, although I don't have a clue what it means.

Not really thrilled with any of these options, but I'll go with HATN over KC.

Tough. Went for Jethro Tull, s it just seems to perfectly epitomise the band's persona (plus used to get a kick out of people thinking it was a solo artist)

Emerson, Lake and Palmer. It rolls off the tongue and sounds very pompous and self important , which of course summed them up!

I'll go with the 18th century English agricultural pioneer, and in second place the nickname for Beelzebub, prince of demons.

No, that would be Jethro Tull (Born 1674 - Died 1741), and King Crimson.

I voted for Kansas ... though I know they won't win I just love their music so much I'm forgiving of the fact they are named after a geographic location. Tongue
