Top three;
1. King Crimson
2. Yes
3. Genesis
Sorry Floyd, there have to be some losers in this...
A couple of years ago Genesis would have been number two but my re-introduction to prog has let me see Yes in a whole new light.

Dear me... as I can't stand Rush or Genesis and enjoy only a select few recordings from ELP and Pink Floyd, perhaps I'm barely a prog fan at all? I've never quite understood how they continue to be hailed as masters when IMHO there's simply much better music out there from less well-known bands. Oh well. Of those listed I'd say my top three would be:
1. Jethro Tull
2. Yes
And to explain, Yes recorded many wonderful pieces, but I simply find myself listening to Tull more regularly. I'm not sure why that should be the case, but oh well... And finally:
3. King Crimson
But if Gentle Giant, Hatfield and the North or VDGG were included in this poll then it'd be a completely different matter. However, for whatever reason (probably just record sales), they've never been considered to be "1st tier" groups.

Interesting thought Trouserpress (great name BTW). Both GG and VDGG sit (almost) in a 'Prog, but not as we know it' sub-genre. Pawn Hearts was a real shock to the system when I first heard it and it took me ages to understand what they were doing but finally, I found a way in and was very much the better for it.

I can't choose (between Tull, Crimson, Floyd, Yes and Where's...), but I'll have to say Genesis and ELP are behind the other choices for me. I'd put Rush in the 2nd tier as well (I'm not quite as into them as I used to be) except that they've been getting a bit trashed around here lately so I'm sticking up for 'em. Beyond that, it's all apples and oranges as some days I want to be Frippin', some I want to be Starship Troopin', etc...

Rush in those golden years of 75'-80 were almost untouchable in creativity (IMO) James but sadly (and rather inevitably it seems in the vast majority of artists) they 'aint all that now.
However, full kudos to you for sticking your hand up for a band that has seen better days...

You gotta be kidding
Rush are still supreme amongst bands who've been around for a while and i dont hear anything new that even comes close.

My humble list is as follows;
1-Yes (with the Wakeman lineup)
2-ELP
3-Focus
Tied at fourth place would be Floyd and Camel, leaving Genesis and Renaissance tied at the fifth place.

Depends on which era you look at.
1970-1973 - ELP with Yes not far behind
1973-1980 - Genesis with Pink Floyd just behind
1980 onwards - Rush (don't rate their seventies stuff so highly,but love Power Windows and Counterparts)
I voted ELP as they are my favourite band although over the last 30 years I would say Rush deserve it for sheer staying power.

Well I saw Keith playing Tarkus in concert twice in the last couple of days... and he looks pretty fit to me! Altho when Kilminster started to sing... I missed Greg probably more than I ever have...
