Well, they haven't released any new material in over 20 years. Best ever? No, but in my top 40 or so prog bands.

So no prog at all before ITCOTCK? Really? No, I don't really agree with that I'm afraid. KC is in my top 10 (maybe even top 5) but not my favorite.

Certainly top 5 and I don't see any current bands affecting the top of my list any time soon.

^Frank Zappa, although not a "band" would get my vote. He covered so many different styles... Psychedelic, fusion, avant, rock, blues, experimental, classical, and did them all well.

Kind of a subjective question, isn't it? It's bound to get dozens of answers based on what people like, not what some chart says. Genesis, Rush, Floyd, Yes, etc. . . . the list will change with the person.

If we're talking bands that are still active: IZZ and Big Big Train. Honestly though, I simply named two random bands that I haven't listed in any PA forum top list yet. In reality, there's way too many to name and due to the prog rock genre being so broad and diverse, you can't compare any random prog band to another.

Hi, Agreed ... not to mention that these days, too much of the stuff is almost copy copy, and not the original content that we got way back when, as there was no controls on the American FM radio band that helped us discover a lot of different work from a lot of places. Nowadays, we can find a lot of different work from many places, but sadly, a lot of them rely on sounds and ideas that are "recognizable" for them to be "accepted" and appreciated. This was not the case 50 years ago, when some folks objected to the different and wild new music, but it was obvious that it was the new path forward ... Finding a new path today, to compare to what happened some 50 years ago, would require a complete social/philosophical and everything else you can think of totally different than what you hear today ... and that's not to say that today's music is not good, but in some ways, it is not even close to comparable to a lot of the important ones from 50 years ago, specially in how folks related to it ... today, even a "different" band is not exactly appreciated as much as it should. I'm not sure it can as long as the instruments are the same and the music designs are the same.

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

Well, I see the Nice, Floyd, The Moodies Blues, Traffic, Zappa had debut albums in 1967!, however was that prog? in my humble opinion I don't think so!! that was a mix o psychedelia music, avant garde , fusion? acid rock? O whatever it was called?. Crimson made the first real prog rock album with all the correct ingredients.

Zappa was a bit of everything and I adore all his music genius! however, he did not have the very first prog album. Lumpy Gravy was too Avant garde or too Orchestral and sometimes even free jazz? fantastic album don't get me wrong a work of art but NO!. that was not a prog ROCK album!!!

Agreed!!! Prog rock died in 1979!!! Nothing New came out after that!!! Prog-Metal was born in the 80's with voivod and Fate warning! After that then we got in the meddleof the 80's Death Technical Prog Metal. Then funeral came!!! There is nothing else new!! but the same!!! We got tons of bands mixing old school prog with old school prog metal. |

I have heard The Who, but they are not prog. Howe is the guitarist for Yes and he is good. But What? Never heard of them.

Not sure if I can say “best” with absolute certainty, but I’m always pleasantly surprised by Gentle Giant. Is this best of all time? Or best currently existing band?
