That warms my ELP-heart, and I didn't even put any list here, as it's not so well in line with my approach to music and bands.

1. King Crimson
2. Genesis 3. Transatlantic 4. The Flower Kings 5. Spock's Beard 6. Porcupine Tree 7. Gentle Giant 8. Camel 9. ELP 10. IQ I go back and forth on whether or not to say the Moody Blues are a progressive rock band. I'll keep with a strict definition for this list.

Amos Goldberg (professor of Genocide Studies at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem): Yes, it's genocide. It's so difficult and painful to admit it, but we can no longer avoid this conclusion.

It's probably not as weird as ranking The Quest as the best ever YES album. Not to worry though. I'll have a series of bona fide PA polls coming up very soon featuring the Top 16 bands from the results of this "poll".

Hopefully prog metal can be included as well. If so: 2. Genesis 3. Opeth 4. Steely Dan 5. Voivod 6. Porcupine Tree 7. Gojira 8. Ulver 9. Gentle Giant 10. Dream Theater And for some honorable mentions (I'm aware these won't make it into the ranking): -Yes -Pink Floyd -Symphony X -Kamelot -King Crimson -Marillion -Cynic -Death -Atheist and too many others to count, lol

Frankly I don't remember if I voted or not, if I didn't:
1- Pink Floyd 2- Yes 3- Genesis 4- ELP 5- Jethro Tull 6- King Crimson 7- Marillion 8- Van Der Graaf Generator 9- Rush 10- Magma I excluded "proggish" type like Moody Blues and Supertramp. If not they'd be somewhere like 5th and 8th respectively.
