The Flower Kings always remind me of Yes.

Yes and ELP because in some ways it's an easier sound to reproduce than something like the second era of King Crimson.

original!

Except that they don't actually sound like Dream Theater  And chances are that they didnt actually design their own cover art

How about ELP/Trace. A lot of people
think that Rick van Der Linden is better than Emerson. But at the same
time Emerson is largely self-taught, learning to play piano at a young
age by the "little old ladies" in the nieghborhood where he grew up.

I'd have to say ELP. Emerson basically made the synthesizer an acceptable instrument. Yes were highly influential too.

Yes i agree that Marillion are an excellent band within the Genesis style.

While I agree that Marillion are an excellent band, I wouldn't go looking for similarities with Genesis, as they are very few and far between. In fact, the sound is nothing like Genesis - the only similarities I can think of is that Fish used to paint his face, and they once covered "I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe) - but they never released that or any other cover.
I would say that Marillion's sound with Fish was unique.
In fact, I truly believe that people get them mixed up with IQ, who did initially sound remarkably similar to early Genesis.
Dream Theater copy riffs outright from Metallica

And the V cover is very, very similar to DT's Awake-cover.
But it's also similar to Spock's Beard's V.
I don't know who copied from whom, but it's pretty obvious that both SX and Spock's Beard took the idea from the Awake cover.

ELP most definitely-I mean they virtually invented elevator music didnt they?
Actually Yes probably.
I can hear Yes' influence in the modern prog-metal bands,and certainly Rush,Styx and Starcastle have increasing degrees of Yes influence.
