Genesis for me, probably followed by VDGG. I don't consider King Crimson
symphonic prog so I couldn't vote for them really.
One likes to believe
In the freedom of music
But glittering prizes
And endless Compromises
Shatter the illusion
Of integrity

damn right I agree....  and I have a question.  This is being debated on another site,  just why is Gentle Giant considered symphonic. They share little in commen with the commen symphonic elements of the the others.  You won't find any sweeping majestic side longs with multiple movements in their albums, their songs had a peverse.... pop element to them.  Let me explain.  Pop relies up 'hooks' whether vocal or musical.  Could it not be argued that Gentle Giant did the same... though instead of relying on a hook, their songs were laden with multiple hooks both vocal and instrumental.  Just thinking out loud, so don't flame me too hard if you disagree hahahah.  Seriously though, I'd like to hear why people consider them symphonic.  It has bearing on another discussion I've got going on elsewhere.

My vote..... Yes.

hmm my favourite symphonic band is Symphony X,
but from that list:

I really like Anglagard, an incredible band and also King Crimson, but after hearing Foxtrot and Selling England...
very often now, I picked Genesis!

Symphonic theme is a hook - a base for symphonic treatment (opposed to literal repetition of hook in pop). So GG are symph.
