	Hate the phrase 'second tier' - just a poll saying which of these bands you like best, would have sufficed. Commercial success does not always guarantee quality. I think the breadth and longevity of The Strawbs is quite amazing - and enjoying revisiting their albums, old and new,at present. They get my vote, but would like to praise Renaissance and Focus as well. UK were a great band - but sadly so short-lived!

	I went with PFM. Some other great bands in the list, but I consider all the PFM albums up to Jet Lag to be essential listening on par with the 1st tier bands

	I didn't include Magma, Camel, GG or VDGG because I thought they were obviously more popular than the ones I listed(with the possible exception of Caravan and UK)and thought I would try to make it more of an even match here. I almost included Starcastle since I wanted to have at least one US band but they didn't quite make the cut. Including Triumvirat might have been a mistake but I know there is one guy on here who is fanatical about them so I included them. :P
