Interesting....I don't agree with some of the bands on there...but still cool. I'm also having trouble with the whole Rush being higher than Pink Floyd bit as well.
Toto, Primus, Blood Sweat and Tears and Portis Head are prog?

Thats a terrible list, a good number aren't prog and they are missing quite a few big ones.

"Progressive.... yeah, that's it..."

I have trouble with King Crimson and ELP being placed higher than Rush.
Greg, I bet you have trouble tying your laces of a morning.

Me too!! Higher than Rush Thats just nonesense...
I have trouble with my laces in the morning, but thats probably something to do with being bleary eyed, half asleep and stumbling around in darkness. I seem to get up before the rest of the human race!!

What utter tosh.
69. Kate Bush
70. Can
?????????????????????????????????????????? How does that work?
83. Blood Sweat & Tears.
107. Banco Del Mutuo Soccorso
Do these people know what prog is? I was half expecting Stevie Wonder to appear at one point. They couldn't even spell Hatfield & The North correctly (No. 147 !!!!).
None of the bands I like even made it into the top 46.
Shut them down and destroy their gene pools.

It would betrer if they had just charted 'Progressive' artists and not specified 'Progressive ROCK'
Kate Bush is progressive IMO, just not rock

Sorry, I didn't mean to suggest she wasn't, just that she was higher up than Can, who are without question one of the most influential and brilliant BANDS (never mind prog bands) of the 1970s.
I love Babooshka and Wow, and all that Heathcliff stuff. Apparently she wrote it all herself - in her TEENS. Where is she now I wonder...?

Electric Light Orchestra???
The Beatles????
Queensryche ABOVE Gong, Hawkwind, BJH, PFM, Amon Duul, Aphrodite's Child... 
Toto?
Yngwie Malmsteen?
Hatfield and the North at 147?????
Since when where the Moodies a "psychedelic progressive band"? Kraftwerk Krautrock? Dream Theater neo-prog?
That list was put together by retards, surely...
I stuck some comments up there - I'll prolly regret them tomorrow, as I'm a significant way down this bottle of Highland Park...

Sorry man, must disagree.
My top three would be Pink Floyd, Genesis and Yes. But meh. That being me, and me being young and unexperiences with Prog.
