Something like that at the moment. It all depends on what I'm listening to the most. Pink Floyd is at the bottom because I've listened to them so many times I think I've lost interest.

Number 10 not prog? Check out their era from 1970-1980, then prepare to have your mind changed.

Some world views are spacious, and some are merely spaced...

Boy, reading strangers' lists of the same ten bands over and over again (& mostly without commentary) makes for some really enthralling reading, eh? Ermm

Gripping -- absolutely gripping! Stern Smile

I just cannot get enough of these types of lists, and "X vs Y" polls!

Lord Qwerty has always felt music to be centered around tastes and enjoyment, not 'greatness'.

Thoooouuuggghhh...

1. King Crimson

2-10. Any old random band...

Lord Qwerty is remarkably pretentious.

I'm going to take this to mean the bands that I like the most to the bands that I hate the most (Best to worst):

    1.) Kansas
    2.) Yes
    3.) Ayreon
    4.) Rush
    5.) Pink Floyd
    6.) Genesis
    7.) Uriah Heep
    8.) Porcupine Tree
    9.) ELP
10.) Spock's Beard

I dig the first six, but after that I start to hate seven on down.

I wake to Sleep and I take my Waking slow,
I feel my fate in what I cannot fear,
I learn by going where I have to go.
