King Crimson. They define the genre, no other band are still on the road with strong steps like them.... Long live the king..
and then came Pink floyd, Genesis and Yes.

In my opinon these are the giants of 70s prog:
Genesis
Yes
Gentle Giant
King Crimson
Pink Floyd
Van Der Graaf Generator
Rush
Jethro Tull
I think those are all of them. I did not chose Camel, mainly because I have
never really gotten into them. Though I think Gabriel era Genesis is better
than King Crimson I can't argue that they are the ultimate progressive
band. They all still progressing to this day and have not put forth a bad
pop album (and in my opinion have not put forth a "bad" album.
Mediocre, sure, but not bad.)

only like floyds older(syd)stuff and i never liked genesis. yes and crimso are two of my favourite bands and have such different sounds and qualities...but if I had to be stranded on an Island with one or the other I'd have to choose King Crimson.Athough it would be a crime to have to choose.

King Crimson and Yes are my favorite of the four, then Genesis, and then Floyd.
King Crimson, however, have managed to maintain at least some of their integrity throughout the years, so I respect them quite a bit.

of these.... Rush but really, I like only three albums by Genesis, and none by KC (I just haven't been able to get into them) Yes is one of my favorites and Pink Floyd is in a league far from these other bands.
Its between Yes and Pink Floyd for me, but its really hard to compare bands that are as different as these two, so I won't.

Sorry, but I do not consider KC as a prog giant. Never progressed further than being a support band or playing colleges. Mediocre album sales even in the 70's! Least influential band ect! |
1) They influenced a huuuuuuuuge amount of bands out there.......
2) "In The Court Of Crimson King" has since been considered the founding opus of a new musical genre progressive rock! (This is copied from the PAs King Crimson bio)
3) Sales do not make quality..... Check out Michael Jackson's sales compared to John Scofield......
4) The concert headliner's aren't always the best
Ohhhhhhh and
5) THEY ARE A PROG GIANT
