    Confused  There's no need to Go Far Away in your Judgements . These Bands from Germany , U.K , Italy and Netherlands are mostly , the Pioneers of Progressive Rock Music from the 70's . As it is the first Part , i would like to get  your  reaction , your  opinions on the settings , as well as your Votes . Let's make it a bit Serious from now on /////////

First option. Zappa and Van der Graaf Generator are an excellent combo, and PFM is a band I'm just barely starting to get into but am loving. Never even listened to Eloy, though. Kind of a space act?

Rush is my favorite band; Yes is my second favorite band.  Not that familiar with Focus or Le Orme, but I have enjoyed the few songs that I have heard. Other than Genesis and Eloy, I'm not much familiar with the other bands, so option 2 it is.

Have to go with the third because I get Genesis and Mahavishnu, and Banco is my favorite Italian band. Can is a nice addition too.

I go for the second option though I can hardly decide between the first two.

I go with the third, although it's damn hard not to choose a Yes/Rush combo. But in the third group, I get the most bad-ass fusion band ever (Mahavishnu), one of the two greatest symphonic prog bands (Genesis), and the greatest krautock band (Can).  I don't know Banco's music well at all, but they're just a cherry on top of a huge delicious cake of prog.

Maybe Can are a bit above Eloy in my playlist, but VDGG and Zappa clearly win over Genesis and Mahavishnu for me. So I vote for option 1. And as far as the italian bands are concerned, PFM is also my favourite.

I just can't do these things...don't see much point in ranking groups of different bands to be honest.

    the Point from these polls is to know which Band from  these 12 Giants of Prog Music have more Weight and Credit to absorbe the other bands in the same list .  i really know that  Eloy  , Can , Le Orme , PFM , Focus and  Banco doesn't have the Weight of Yes , Rush , VDGG ,Zappa or Mahavishnu . But in my opinion , i can really get a clear idea  about what makes a fan vote only for the preferable band , without taking into consideration the other bands listed in the same Group . Just like if i'm a Rush fan , and have to take nbr Two Option , or VDGG fan , and vote to nbr one option . The Second Part  from this Poll  is Really Critical in this Issue ,  the measures and the Choices are a little bit different . So , Wait My Friend  Takeshi to Witness for the End , and Thank yu for yur Care and Reply /////////////////////     TracksToni   //////

Bah! putting bands I like with bands I don't like?!1

I want to break something!!! 

Ok, number 2 seems to be the most middle of the road, I don't really dislike Rush, just don't enjoy them as much as I used to.

  Your Problem is , that there's bands yu like , and bands yu dislike in the same Group , but this is not a problem for me , cause no matter what was the results of these polls , i'm winning at the end . I really like all the Bands mentioned above ( and i mean ALL OF THEM ) and in my opinion this is how a real progger must be ,  Progressive music is not involved by Parties , Religions , or Races . It's music of the World , and i love it the way it is . But Wait till the next part , really impressing /////////

I don`t get this. Is this supposed to be like a battle royale or tag team match  that they have in WWF wrestling?
