Inspired by my search for dragons, here is a poll about dragonflies.  Apparently, prog artists like to make songs about dragonflies.  About 1/2 of these are in my collection and 1/2 I found in a search on PA.  There were a lot more songs that I didn't include however, so may a second dragonfly poll may be in order.  Anyhow, pick up to 3 of your favorites from this list and certainly feel free to comment on the ones that you like and the ones that you don't and the ones that I missed.  Lots of interesting songs from artists I've never heard before.  This looks like a good poll for the explorers amongst you.  Maybe a chance to find some hidden gems.

Jade Warrior for this outing.

Strawbs from the list.
But I also really love Danny Kirwan's brilliant Fleetwood Mac song.

I have most of Fleetwood Mac's albums, but I am not familiar with this song.  I see that it was only released as a single.  I will have to give it a listen on YouTube.

Don't know many of them. 

I just want to mention "Odin Dragonflies", a duo formed by Heather Finlay and Angela Gordon. 
I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

I was going to include an Odin Dragonfly song if I had run out of songs with Dragonfly in the title.  Both of their albums have been quite enjoyable.

May or may not be prog, but I prefer Fleetwood Mac's Dragon Fly by Danny Kirwan

It is quite astonishing to see how most, if not all, of the posters so far (as in your previous poll, actually) ignore the fact that they're invited to vote for three of their preferred ones, instead of just one... Are you all really too lazy or too pavlovian to read the OP?

After running through the playlist, my three picks are:
- Helios (this really incites me to explore more of their music!)
- Xavier Boscher
- Baron

Jade Warrior and Efterklang were not far...

Hard to beat the rhythm section of Simon Phillips and Ernest Tibbs, so my vote goes to Derek. Closely followed by Caligula's Horse.
