What I am doing here is pretty much comparing the popularity of Prog Metal to Prog Rock

Please don`t be offended if I missed your favourite band this is just a rough plan for me to follow the trends of what you people think out there in progland

I like van der graaf generater lots but 25 bands is all that I could add. So them and Camel I had to comprimise ..oh theres many more great prog units I didn`t add if you look hard  ..I know...   pffft 25 bands just isn`t enough to get the results I wanted, considering its prog metal and prog rock ..this poll

All these lists and polls make it very easy to answer: I have thought about it a lot of times.

My choice is Yes: a wealth of good material (mostly '70's), intelligent as well as emotional music. But the proof of the pudding is in the eating: I think I listened more to Yes than to any other band.

The only band that can compete is Genesis: both Genesis and Yes never made a bad album in the '70's. I know no other band from which I can say the same.
