i'm wondering what prog. bands people like the best. I was thinking of making this a poll, but polls only have a few options to vote on, so i decided that it would be best to make this a topic. thanks for writing!

This band, this lineup:

Just keep the shorty in the left behind the drums kit and very far from the microphone.

Gentle Giant trumps all. No musicians are that good or play that well together.

pink floyd are probably the most consistant band cos pretty much every record was a masterpiece but in terms of prog rock 1971-1974 yes was untouchable. i see good things ahead for the mars volta. tool and dream theater seem to be souring as well.

"Gentle Giant trumps all. No musicians are that good or play that well together."

In terms of clever interplay, never ending excitement (including their slow numbers) and charisma, I have to agree with my fellow progger, and also include Rush and Jethro Tull in the Number One podium - gold medal.

Silver medal to ELP, Yes, KC, Genesis w/Hackett, and VdGG. Bronze medal to almost the whole rest of them.

That is, as a performing band: no discrimination intended against other great bands who also played amazingly on stage. By the way, excellent picture, Iván - it`s already in my image archive.

Regards.
