Intrumental songs, surely this a contradiction in terms?
I voted others, no one has mentioned The Ozric Tentacles or Djam Karet. How can any of the bands who had a vocalist be the best instrumental band when these two did it full time?

Well, because Mahavishnu did only jazz-rock (which is largely an instrumental phenomenon) I think it wouldn't be valid to vote for them in THIS poll. They are amazing though, don't get me wrong. I think Rush take the cake for instrumentals. They really write great, dynamic pieces of art...La Villa...YYZ...Leave that thing alone. All great IMO. Yes didn't even do instrumentals did they? Except for maybe Wakeman's Cans and Brahms off Fragile.

You know, there have been some GOOD NEW things since the 70s and the golden age of prog. DT is one of them . Some of you here are so conservative. anything post 70s is considered boring prog metal. open up dude.

Easy for you to say... The only ELP instrumental I like is the Barbarian. I didn't vote for them, I voted for Rush (once).

I'm dissappointed that ELP are leading in the poll. They're just too boring
and pompous, and are the reason why it took me so long to appreciate
prog. No other group excells at shaping instrumentals than King Crimson.
One listen to the Lark's Tongue album is all you need.
