You know, there have been some GOOD NEW things since the 70s and the golden age of prog. DT is one of them . Some of you here are so conservative. anything post 70s is considered boring prog metal. open up dude.

Well, because Mahavishnu did only jazz-rock (which is largely an instrumental phenomenon) I think it wouldn't be valid to vote for them in THIS poll. They are amazing though, don't get me wrong. I think Rush take the cake for instrumentals. They really write great, dynamic pieces of art...La Villa...YYZ...Leave that thing alone. All great IMO. Yes didn't even do instrumentals did they? Except for maybe Wakeman's Cans and Brahms off Fragile.

Intrumental songs, surely this a contradiction in terms?
I voted others, no one has mentioned The Ozric Tentacles or Djam Karet. How can any of the bands who had a vocalist be the best instrumental band when these two did it full time?

*yawn*
Any of these bands and especially Rush get their behinds handed to them compared to any fusion band.
Why are there always polls with weak prog

I voted for Rush (once) with La Villa Strangiato, Where's my thing?, Limbo, YYZ and Leave that Thing Alone, all top ranking instrumentals I found no comparison. Even the less talked about Rush instrumentals I enjoy as much as "Red" or "Erotomania" or "Los Endos" Another good instrumental is ELP's hoedown, my jaw dropped when I first heard a synthetic hoedown

I went for Rush because of "La Villa Strangiato", my all time favorite instrumental... but i have to mention ELP's "The Barbarian", Genesis' "Los Endos", Camel's "Lunar Sea", King Crimson's "Lark's Tongues in Aspic , parts I to III", Dream Theater's "Erotomania" and "The Dance of Eternity", also Rush's "YYZ" and many MANY more out there...
....are there really 703 people voting for Rush already?

AT the moment, I'm lost in B'BOOM by KC, and I love it.....My vote goes to KC (Sorry Reed, as much as I love Rush....they've only done a few intrumentals.)

Yes,sorry,third behind The Beatles and The Rolling Stones.
Still a monumental achievement,for a Canadian Band,who've never been fashionable!
Will beat them with 2 more albums though!
