I dont like you mate I have never seen a more bias person in my whole life. I understand you like genesis but for gods sake work it out the lamb is not PURE PROG thats the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Look at the results to the poll and you'll see that Im not the only one that thinks so.

DSOTM. Very overrated, and not very prog.

Ah, wonderful, one of my favourite
private prog musings is pondering how on earth DSOTM became
to be seen as a progressive rock album -and surprisingly often the
most essential one a that! It came out in 1973 when prog already
had a strong precense in the world of popular music so it wasn't
exactly influencial in a prog-sense, was it? Of course, it might
have acted as a gentle gateway for many people into the world of
prog and thus add to prog's popularity. In either case, I
would be very interested to read people's reasons for
thinking that DSOTM is prog so go ahead and try to swaye me! 
Must be that time signature change during Money. How radical. 
Don't get me wrong, I love most of the tunes, I really do, but
they do have more in common with classic rock than anything else. I
never list any of my PF albums as part of my prog collection. The band experimented,
true, but that does not prog make in my mind. After all, The Beatles
experimented, as well, and I don't see them listed in the
archives.
As for the rest of the poll nominees, well, Aqualung is quite a good choice, too, not too proggy as far as I can tell.
Going For The One has more than enough prog elements, no question about that.

anything I could have said, you said. Needless to say, I agree 100%.
The Lamb, definitely prog, though not a Genesis favorite.

DSOTM may not be Prog, but it still beats the sh*t out of any other "prog" album.

Yeah, I agree. What isn't prog about the rest of those albums, dude? Those are almost the most staple prog albums!

Silly poll. DSOTM is 100% pure prog.
I don't like Yes, so my vote goes to them.

DSOTM works as a blend of prog,rock,soul and electronic music.It isn't 100% prog by any means.
The others are all prog albums but funnily enough not as good

Probably DSOTM, according to the way most people on this website see prog... However, I tend to disagree with those people's views, and think that such a question doesn't have much sense at all.

I wouldn't cast a vote on this one. I don't think none of albums from the list are less progressive than the other...
Instead of Genesis' Lamb Lies Down on Broadway I would have We Can't Dance and there we have the least progressive of all...

I find it hard to accept DSOTM as a prog album. It is classic rock with a mix of spacy haze and psychedelia, and you find almost every song on the radio (excepting only "On the Run," even though I've heard it play after "Breathe" once, and "Any Clour You Like")
