Not my favorite band although I do like them alot, but I think Gentle Giant sticks out the most, they are totally unlike any band, or prog band.

We got to pump the stuff to make us tough
from the heart
Its astart
What we need is awareness we cant get careless
Mental self defensive fitness
Make everybody see in order to fight the powers that be

I completely understand

Gentle Giant for me - there isn't another band like them, and their interpretation of Rock is not only intelligent and fantastically articulated, but mind-bogglingly original too.

I think King Crimson sticks higher out of the field.
Their prog is darker than any other. Fripp's own guitar tuning gives a unique atmosphere.
They also have this style where they want to build up music with layer upon layer upon layer. It sometimes sounds like a canon.
I think there can be musical parallels drawn with Gentle Giant.

I said gentle giant before i saw the "other" option...but gentle giant is definately the best up there in my opinion...otherwise you would've recieved an "other" for The Mars Volta.
I'm a reasonable man, get off my case

Well I answered before reading your1st post, this is just a "whats your favourite" poll, and mine's Yes. I thought the question was, which stands out as in being distinctive from the rest, either musically or otherwise, for which I could understand Gentle Giant getting many votes...and it was on this basis I voted for Frank Zappa.

Number One will always be YES

Number Two has to be RUSH

Of the ones on your list, I picked TransAtlantic because I've been listening to them a lot, but truth be told, Genesis is the best of your choices.
