about music in their sound, or they have over the years. The genius of
Robert Fripp will NEVER cease to amaze me! |
you got that right

Sorry, I don't know why but I can't stand King Crimson... 
But Yes is a band I like a lot. Good keyboard- and guitar-works by Rick Wakeman and Steve Howe. My respect!

Interesting how Yes always comes out on top in general polls like "Greatest Prog Band", but they are defeated by quite a bit in this poll.

Yes. I just can't get into Crimson at all. I like melodic prog and Crimson aren't melodic very often.

I couldn't decide. On one hand I love Epitaph, Starless, In the
Wake of Poseidon, etc., but on the otherhand I love To Be Over, CTTE,
And You And I, etc.

I went with Yes mainily because they're more melodic and crimison just sound a too weird for my liking at times. I still do like some crimison though, I just like Yes a hell of a lot more!

i just really don't like most ofYes's music. I can't get into them no matter how hard I try to like their music. But i do like The Gates of Delirium and Sound Chaser.

Well King Crimson is my favorite band, or is it Led Zeppelin? Well, still, my favorite prog band is King Crimson, and my second favorite prog band is Yes...so my vote goes for KC
Its true they never went down the hill, while Yes did in the 80...and maybe even some of the 90 stuff also...But recently I purchade the Tsongas DVD from Yes...and was impressed how good it was, and relieved to know that this band can still do it!
