My Favs are:

1. Rush
2. Genesis
3. Yes

Lately, I've been having a hard time deciding between Rush and Genesis for the number one spot. I'd say they are likely tied.

1. Gdub:I dislike only King Crimson and Jethro Tull from that list.

I'd seen Genesis,Yes,Elp,Pink Floyd +for example Led Zep,and Purple, before you were 10.Cool (In reply to your question in the previous poll)

Rush are my favourites so I stick up for them. I have stated in other posts that I dont believe that they have been a Prog band for a long time now.They have "evolved" into a Hard Rock band with Prog sensibilities.

I have always considered YES to be the quintissential Prog Band, so they would be the Prog band who I would rate highest. Paradoxically I believe that Rush,seen over their entire career, are head and shoulders better than any of the bands named in the list.This is because they are my favourite band hence that statement is not objective.

Pink Floyd,Yes,Genesis and Elp are superb.Thanks to this forum,I developed a liking for Porcupine Tree. I have just got hold of Lightbulb Sun,Signify and In Absentia .

2.Cert! you just imagined I put something negative here about you! Yes,you are going mad!Wink

3.Lets clear up this gay thing. The only chink in Greg's armour ( apart from being American LOL) is that he is gay.When I say "chink in his armour" I mean in terms of mickey-taking- nothing else. I always feel that people who jump in to protect "minorities" are very patronising and therefore IMO probably bigoted in some way themselves.For my part I will ridicule anybody for any reason at any given moment if a) I have nothing more more intelligent to say and b) if it makes me happy.Wink

If that offends OTHERS well tough! If it offends the person it is aimed at.............

Yes will always be my altime favourite. i like the other bands presented as wel as others not presented in this poll, But no other band has ever had so much an influence on my way of listening to music as Yes did.

I always listen to Yes concentrated and focussed on the music, whereas other bands I often use as background, while reading, watching television, ironing, cooking, working, sleeping etc.

Pink Floyd! Without a doubt.
