Yes but it doesn't surprise me that KC is ahead of Yes. In part I think this is not just because of the esoteric more experimental elements of KC over Yes's melodic/symphonic output but that more younger prog fans who are attracted to Metal/heavy roots would relate more to KC's output than Yes.

I love both Yes and King Crimson, but I have to give the edge to Yes because I find their music spiritually uplifting. However, sometimes the darker, edgier music of KC fits the bill!

I voted Crimso

Personally I find Crimson to be much more diverse and and had a much more real or natural feeling, I love Yes also but KC always wins me over.

Two of my favorite bands but right now I would have to side with King Crimson.  Whereas Yes went downs hill with time and turned into something that I can not tolerate, King Crimson kept reinventing itself with changes that I really enjoy.

gotta be the KC, just for sheer body of work... yes produced some dodgey work in the 80s (much as I love the earlier stuff), but KC just keep getting better! and they never compromise.

King Crimson are probably my favourite band of all time so definetly king crimson because they have the ability to be noisey,ugly and experimental and still be very melodic. While yes were probably the first prog band i listened to i think there great but no where near as experiental or creative IMO

For me, it's absolutely no contest. View my Sig.

Although I do like Crimson a great deal, as well. But Yes win this match, all the way.

hmmm....


experimental was not Yes's calling card.... we'd all agree with that.

but I don't think melody was  King Crimson's either....  especially the middle era. 

A wash in my book if trying to compare the two.

Although I really enjoy many of Yes' albums, I think King Crimson were/are more original and never really had a "bad" or uninspiring period.  Example: Yes from 1980- 2002

oh really......  since when does different equate to bad or uninspiring.  Sure if you compare those albums to their peak 70's they suffer in comparison.... but what doesn't.  Yes put out great albums in the 80's, 90's, and the ..... 00's.  Were there stinkers in there.... of course..... but over the course of a nearly 40 year career you've earned the right to have a few... and only a  few is what they did.
