since I wrote the test... I know the questions.  Missing one immediated DQ's members from voting in polls.

1) Is ELP the better band than Camel?
2) Is PFM the better band than Jethro Tull?
3) Does Genesis music put you to sleep?



#1 is indeed ELP, but for some reason people keep voting for the 2nd tier band named after unfiltered cigarettes.
 
#2 is a trick question. The Italian wedding band is only better than Tull in the labyrinthine, cob-webbed corridors of Micky's muddled mind.
 
#3 is also a trick question because you have to be anesthetized to enjoy Genesis.

My 2 favourite bands... But KC is the obvious pick for me here!
20+ prog bands discovered and explored in 3 years, still going strong...

A surprisingly easy vote for King Crimson for me.  Both bands are great and to be honest I probably prefer Pink Floyd, but my vote had to go to KC for being the better progressive rock band.

I don't know about being in the lead but a few years ago they would certainly have got a lot further than the first round, and only a year ago a Yes/Genesis final would have been an absolute shoe in.

Unfortunately a lot of the appreciation for the metal side of prog seems to have disappeared as well.Ouch

for the life of me I can not remember who the finalists were the last time we had the battle of the bands here. I think I boycotted it after ELP went down LOL

^^ Yes, we did, Mike, and you just might get dinged for "shouting" (using all caps and the long series of exclamation marks) ... you might ... I think.

Many of them have moved over to MMA. I see them a lot more there than here, where some of them are virtually absent.

I haven't heard of either of these musicians. Where should I start? Were they previously in popular bands?

Yes indeed- Robert Fripp of King Crimson is indeed THE Robert Fripp of that iconic band of the 20th century, universally adored by screaming fangirls and the cognoscenti alike, Giles Giles & Fripp!



But anyway, Floyd makes it for me. Thanks for a good competition, Micky!

If this ends in a tie, can we declare a hybrid winner called Pinking Croydon?
