Read again; I never said the albums were "weak", I just said they are not extraordinary.

I won't be participating in this battle.  I will not die for Yes and Genesis.  I wouldn't even fight for Tull.

I could never understand why "Close to the Edge" and "Selling England by the Pound" are considered to be at the very top; they are rather conventional records. But it is the same everywhere: The more average something is, the higher the probability many will like it. There are so many exceptional prog records out there that have by far more original ideas on them than "Close to the Edge" or "Selling England by the Pound". And don't misunderstand me, I am not saying they are bad records, they are just not outstanding and exceptional. They lack true daring.
I'd go for some Magma record like Syzygy or for Mother Gong's "Fairy Tales" (Mother Gong should have been added to the archive long ago, by the way). Yes or Genesis - I don't really care. If I had to choose a record by them, I'd go for "Relayer" and "The Lamb", which are both way superior to CttE and TLLdoB.
Ok, and now I will run for cover.

You cant love em all, you can only have one favorite and all the CDs and LPs from the other bands must be burned! Mwahahahah!

Anyway there can only be one best prog band and it can only be VDGG!! but since they got sush a small fan base i gues it will be a hard fight for us against the great armys of the other giants  but i will never surrender!   or meby we shuld let the Genesis and Yes legions destroy themself first and then meby we can get Pawn hearts too #1 where it belongs

Here, Here! Nothing against DT, but they ain't in the same league as Yes & Genesis IMO.

Genesis vs. Yes? How comes? I scarcely remember two or three Genesis fans not liking Yes too... and the same on the other direction. And what about poor Bill Bruford? He played with Genesis. Should Yes fans kill him? And now I come to it, should both sides slain Hackett and Howe for their side project called GTR? Let politicians plan wars... we've got music instead. And we're very lucky.

If the Yes, Genesis, Rush, DT, Floyd and Tull fans all have epic battles and destroy each other Magma might reach the top 10 yet!

How lame. Nobody's favorite band can always be #1.

EDIT: WTF...  I've argued for my favorite band a billion times! It's fun! HAR HAR HAR!

Comrades,

See the things from another point: this competition means that prog is ALIVE! No battle is required!!

The progger of the world has nothing to lose, but their sounds; PROGGERS of the world unite.

Dont let the word get out you might get the vast legions of the Empire Floyd involved. You all seem to forget the most popular prog band and the best.

Shhh... too late, you've said it. Both teams will think you're a traitor. Right before the battle they'll ritually sacrifice you to the Queen of Maybe's Merchandise and to the Total Mass Retain.
