Excuse meConfused. I had to check that before creating a new thread. If you think it would be better to remove this one, no problem. 

This is probably the first time I'm in such a trouble. What do you propose? Let's remove my thread then!

Prog Rock's Big 6 is KC, Yes, Genesis, ELP, Jethro Tull, Pink Floyd - am I right? 

As the admirer of GG (and, for the most part, the unlover of KC, Yes, ELP and PF), I find it unjust, of course. 

can you explain the point of this thread? 
 

Trying to find justice in the unjust world, I suppose Embarrassed 

Perhaps, different people may add their candidates and form their own Big's. In thrash metal it was fairly obvious - but thrash is a very restricted style of music. 

Anyway.

Yes, that seems to be the general consensus of opinion on Prog-Rock's Big Six, according to a recent poll. Thumbs Up
