Please vote for the one you want. Hopefully voting for one of these bands won't have disastrous consequences.Wink 


I also like ELP, Kansas, Jethro Tull, Gentle Giant, Camel, VDGG, Marillion and Porcupine Tree but those make my top 12 and not top five.

My choice is Yes based on their entire catalog, though their are a few later albums that don't quite measure up.  For being consistently interesting with true prog adventure, I'd give the title to King Crimson.

Only King Crimson are in my top 5.

Then Pink Floyd, possibly in my Top 10.

Genesis and Yes possibly in my Top 30.

Rush arent in my Top 50.

It's between King Crimson and Pink Floyd for me as my clear favourites from the list. King Crimson is the one that gets more attention from me these days and gets my vote.

You like a lot of dinosaur prog.

Any modern prog hit the top 13?

Should have picked other as none of them are my favorite band but I picked King Crimson as they are top 5 followed by Pink Floyd who are top 10. Genesis and Yes would be next but they are more like top 50.

Other top 5 bands

Henry Cow
Univers Zero
Cardiacs
VDGG
Ian
