Really don't mind if you sit this one out.

Genesis easily. They have released some great albums, KC hasn't.

Don't you believe that:

  3. Foxtrot
  4. Selling England by the pound
  5. The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway
  6. A Trick of the Tail
  7. Wind & Wuthering
Are enough to deserve to be called an amazing Prog band, specially when 2 of them are among the top 5 and the rest (Except W&W) are in the Top 100% of Prog Archives while only 3 KC are in the same list and far away?

Of course I believe ! For me Genesis is much more progressive than KC! But here almost everyone who votes for KC argues his choice saying "its the most progressive band"  . But  progressivenes itself isn't very important   feature ! It says nothing about a Music . For example, Wagner is more "prog" than Tchaikovsky but we all understand who is better composer Wink .

I saw the 1982 reunion Six Of The Best at Milton Keynes Bowl, arranged after Gabriel's WOMAD project went tits up. It chucked it down all day, we had to put up with Jonathon King (Angry), and, by the band's own admission, the musical performance was not of the greatest standard. However, as a nostalgia fest, it worked a great deal of magic and it remains one of my all time favourite gigs.

Obviously Tchaikovsky by light year. I like his Slavonic feeling and congenial tunes.
On the other way, Wagner was anti-Semite incidentally. And his compositions sounds very pompously even large to me.

Wikipedia proves it Wink :
Wagner's writings on race and his antisemitism[171] reflected some trends of thought in Germany during the 19th century.

I´ve meant that I dislike Wagner´s music due to its pomp and pretentiousness especially. The unexceptionable fact about his anti-semitism only confirms my belief but it´s not the main reason.
 
His music isn´t rubbish but not my cup of tea.

A prog rocker who dont like "pomp and pretentiousness " wooooow! I think your on the wrong forum, go and listen to your unpretentious punk rock then or something... Wink
I seriusly never understod why pomp and pretentiousness is so bad in music, in all other arts its fine but in music its a crime, music must be simpel and easy obviusly and a big laugh, damn thos musicians that take em self to seriusly!
