I like Camel but they are just the most boring and plain out of these bands, although I was tempted to vote for Dream Theater

Dream Theater is not a great prog band. It's a great prog-metal band. The difference is great. 
I'd vote for ELP but in this case it's Gentle Giant.

Hey man, it's evident you like every Prog band, all your ratings despite name, style or genre (Prog Metal, Art Rock, Neo Prog and Prog Related) are 5 stars

DT have surpassed the formative prog bands in your opinion. what name do you review under? I'd like to be able to ignore everything you've written.

I voted King Krimson.
Excepting "ITCOTCK" (which featured the boring and looooooooong "Moonchild" by the way), I never could enter into their work (and I tried hardly) : too noisy, too improv, too jazzy, little feeling, almost no emotion, absolutely no charisma from its leader etc.
So, this is not for me. Actually, I never understood why and how this band was so popular.
But as I often say, it is not possible to love all the bands reviewed on this great site.
Cheers.

I think you're forgetting ELP, I would have voted for them anyway. From
this selection I would have to say Gentle Giant or Camel, though I love
Three Friends and The Snow Goose.

Pink Floyd. Easy. I just don't like most of their music. They're like any average band to me. 2 Good albums, rest, boring. yet they're popular.

I just find it so hard to get into Dream Theater, and believe me, I've tried. They have mixed albums and many songs that would be good if they didn't come in at 200 mph with heavy guitar every 30 sec.

Listen to Turkish psych/prog; you won't regret:
Baris Manco,Erkin Koray,Cem Karaca,Mogollar,3 Hürel,Selda,Edip Akbayram,Fikret Kizilok,Ersen (and Dadaslar) (but stick with the '70's, and 'early 80's!)

I hate Pink Floyd with a passion... but it's not like they are THAT bad, I just see them as slightly boring. The reason I hate them with such a passion is that herds of people idolize them, and the way I see it, most of them are too blind to see that Pink Floyd are just another "Elevator Music" influenced rock band, with a good vocalist and a good songwriter... They nowhere near the Progressive Giants they are thought to be... I've heard the term " Musical Genius" used in association with Pink Floyd... That makes me SICK! they are just a pretty good band IMO... Nothing more.
But it's not like I don't enjoy some of their material... I like the album Meddle... and I guess they have some other songs that I can stand...
