So if you missed the QUEEN poll, it is here:


Naturally, moving on to the KING tracks.

Again, MULTIPLE is ON!  Selecting ALL tracks you like is encouraged!

NOTE: I'll probably get a complaint or two for leaving off In the Court of the Crimson King, and A Farewell to Kings.  I decided to leave them off because they're obvious run-aways, and I like these polls to be as much about discovering new music as "winning" (and there wasn't room to fit all selections anyway).  If you MUST select one of them feel free to select OTHER, and comment on it.  Thanks!

Out of this list it's "Nine Funerals Of The Citizen King", but if Return To Forever's "Song To The Pharoah Kings" were an option I'd vote for it in a heartbeat

Chocolate Kings; my favorite album by PFM. In the 1970s, they were invited to play at a high school in my current home of Ottawa, Canada, and at last minute's notice, flew over and played! I did not see it but heard about it years later. So cool!

Many good tracks in this poll, which makes it difficult to choose a favorite. I'll stick with PFM for now, but Herny Cow and Soft Machine are also quite nice.

Kings And Queens by Aerosmith is a pretty great track I don't see on here.
Porg for short. My love of music doesn't end with prog! Feel free to discuss all sorts of music with me. Odds are I'll give it a chance if I haven't already! :)

King of Pain - The Police.

Sorry, but I consider The Police to be a progressive rock band not matter what you guys say. Maybe not the hits, but they have some very cool deep cuts that mix punk, rock, reggae and prog.

Wishbone Ash, "The King Will Come."  Excellent!

Also, a shout-out to the late Peter Banks! Co-written with his friend, Jan Akkerman of Focus!

Focus, Marillion and Other: What about some good classic neo-prog? From their wonderful (first I think?) mini-album...

I picked Haken's Cockroach King. Marillion's King would be my second choice. Another ELO tune not mentioned is their cover of Grieg's In the Hall of the Mountain King. If I might add, it's well worth a listen.
