Although I love Genesis, Yes, KC, VdGG and many many other bands, PF was, is and will be my all-time favourite band (for their brilliant five albums - Meddle, DSOTM, WYWH, Animals and The Wall). Nothing else really matters ;-) ------------- PF, Genesis, KC, Yes, VdGG, GG, Camel, Jethro Tull |

Other- The Clash. I guess you didn't required that band is kinda prog pure blood, since I see that Queen, Purple and Beatles are on the list. |

A slight absence of Canterbury I fear... Also, lack of KC, VDGG, GG makes poll invalid. |

| Hmm, strange list, The Beatles are the best band here but this is a strange mixture of prog, proto-prog, prog-related and God knows what. |

For me it's Yes, They've got so many good albums, As do most prog giants, But Yes, For me, Are a small step up above the rest. I mean come on!
To me that is a clear no questions asked run of masterpieces. 'Going for the One' comes very close also But I can't very strongly disagree with those who say Genesis or Pink Floyd either, Prog gave us some massively great bands ------------- My computer's broke |

My vote is for YES... I have to recognize that is a sentimental vote, because I didn't found many bands that deserves to belong to the list such as ELP, PORCUPINE TREE, PFM, CAMEL, WHITE WILLOW, SOLARIS, OSSANA, ANGE... ------------- ... E N E L B U N K E R... |

I think The Beatles are good but just alittle so simple for me. Also maybe i'm ignorent, but whats so good about Pink Floyd? |

For me Genesis 1 ( slightly ahead of Yes because of the Lamb) Yes 2 ( really admire them always staying true to prog but down a notch because of Tales) Pink Floyd 3( great run from Atom Heart to Animals but found the later work nauseous) Beatles 4 Jethro Tull 5 Mike Oldfield 6 ELP 7 Camel 8
------------- How wonderful to be so profound |

I voted the champions cause they're my favourite band of all times...I'm quite aware that Queen is not the best band but IMO they can make the top 30...about prog bands?

In fact, for polls like this, the starter lists the bands HE likes most not the average ones or the best known or the most representatives... Later, the starter simply follows the poll to check which individuals or how many people think like HIM. ------------- Guigo ~~~~~~ |

Define the best... Criticly and popularity wise its obviusly the Beatles. You ask any music scholar and that would be their definite anwser. The Beatles music changed the world and still does forty years later, which is something that can not be said for most bands of the sixtys or the seventys(yes we are not the norm). With no feelings or bias involved, with a total objective veiw as a historian and speaker of truth The Beatles have no equal. Its just the facts and no one convince me away from the facts. Without the Beatles there I pick two bands from two totaly different sides of prog that can not be compared to each other: 1.Renaissance 2.King Crimson |

I used to listen to Gentle Giant a lot and their talent is exceptional. I do have trouble getting into them though. The people I know that really like them are all pretty neurotic souls who love that kind of intricate playing. Incidently, most of those same people also get into Dream Theater in a big way. One complaint I have is in the production of their albums. Like so many bands of that period. It's to bad they did not hire the same people doing jazz productions back then. So much cleaner and better sounding. By the way, Steve Howe of YES thinks highly of Gentle Giant from what I here. |

Pink Floyd because their emotion can range from peaceful(a pillow of winds) to hateful(One of my Turns)........relaxed(Breathe) to anxious(Sheep) and of course everything at once....ECHOES.
Rush, GG, VDGG, and King Crimson should def be mentioned in any best of prog poll.
ELP and genesis are also Incredible.
