This. Three excellent groundbreaking bands, but KC has to be a contender for the best rock band of all time, certainly the best progressive act IMO. |

Regarding PF: how do you gauge quality vs quantity??? Anyway.... with all due respect to the Ummagumma boys (that I admit I'm a fan), in that regard I go with Black Sabbath the real creators of a whole new music man ... add to that a helluva groundbreaking strike of 6 great albums in a row!....... PS: I'll be back and vote the day I get the guts to listen to an entire KC album hahaha Edited by Tillerman88 - August 18 2017 at 03:43 |

I'm not so sure about that. Floyd had a massive influence.

Pink Floyd for their excellent music in the 60s and 70s, I'm not fond of their subsequent material. KC's sound in the 70s often gets bland and boring, too experimental and improvised, while lyrics are usually whatever. Also, I don't like the fact that they recorded on commercial grounds so many of their gigs. Pink Floyd have released a tiny amount of live albums. |

I have to go with King Crimson on this one, not for the Metal Part, but for the inventiveness of the music . Pink Floyd is mostly blues, very well orchestrated, but blues none the less. Black Sabbath is the real Heavy Metal band here, and they were quite good at it.

I say it's better to have quality releases than rushed releases just to have a new album out soon. Besides, I don't really think their out-put is so small, specially in the 70's. Without counting them, I believe all 3 bands released about the same amount of albums since they began until the end of the 70's. |

floyd and sabbath are odd ones for me... I respect each one's massive influence, but despite being a big fan of both bands' respective genres, I'm not a big fan of either band. They both did maximum half a dozen tracks each that I genuinely think are great. But I struggle listening to an entire album by either without getting bored.
KC wins on that basis! |

The Sabbs remain an unknown commodity to me whilst Crimso blows 'Floyd out of the water and then some. It's KC, baby.

Could be any of the three for influence or whatever - depending on how you approach it. But among the popular bands that even people not into prog are aware of, King Crimson means the most to me personally. So logically I will have to vote for them as supreme pioneer.
