Van der Graaf Generator, but I voted Banco in the poll.

Strange selection. I thought Mandrakeroot was a big fan of King Crimson himself.

Pink Floyd because their emotion can range from peaceful(a pillow of winds) to hateful(One of my Turns)........relaxed(Breathe) to anxious(Sheep) and of course everything at once....ECHOES.
 
Rush, GG, VDGG, and King Crimson should def be mentioned in any best of prog poll.
 
ELP and genesis are also Incredible.

Several prog giants are missing here...
Anyway, Genesis is the best band IMO. These guys really know (knew?) how to write songs.
Music, all I hear is MUSIC

Hear here!

Pink Floyd is the starting point for many prog fans :)

I used to listen to Gentle Giant a lot and their talent is exceptional. I do have trouble getting into them though. The people I know that really like them are all pretty neurotic souls who love that kind of intricate playing. Incidently, most of those same people also get into Dream Theater in a big way. One complaint I have is in the production of their albums. Like so many bands of that period. It's to bad they did not hire the same people doing jazz productions back then. So much cleaner and better sounding. By the way, Steve Howe of YES thinks highly of Gentle Giant from what I here.

Define the best... Criticly and popularity wise its obviusly the Beatles. You ask any music scholar and that would be their definite anwser. The Beatles music changed the world and still does forty years later, which is something that can not be said for most bands of the sixtys or the seventys(yes we are not the norm). With no feelings or bias involved, with a total objective veiw as a historian and speaker of truth The Beatles have no equal. Its just the facts and no one convince me away from the facts.

Without the Beatles there I pick two bands from two totaly different sides of prog that can not be compared to each other:

1.Renaissance

2.King Crimson

In fact, for polls like this, the starter lists the bands HE likes most not the average ones or the best known or the most representatives...

Later, the starter simply follows the poll to check which individuals or how many people think like HIM.
