I really dig Yes. Any album of theirs that I discover completely excites me. Especially Relayer. I love every bit of that record.

King Crimson is the most exciting. Was there ever any doubt?

Rush, the name of the band explains the excitement that comes with their music. That's why I'm a die'hard rush fan. Their music actually does get my adrenaline pumping.

I always get excited when I think of it

Ha! - Just as I thought - this is not a picture of Genesis at all (the drummer with a centre parting & a left handed Mike Rutherford was a bit of a giveaway).

This is 'The Musical Box' - Pretenders to the throne, but highly regarded.

I have to agree with Cluster One, though, Genesis, when on form (and not playing a later Motown medley

), could be one of the most exciting bands to see / hear.

King Crimson however, well, there is a band you cannot predict; whenever I see them, I am never disappointed. Fripp never allows the band to stagnate, and always excites....

Gentle Giant are always exciting - especially with familiar tracks! There's always a fantastic moment just round the corner, and it's wonderful to wait in anticipation for that time sig change, ripping solo or quirky little refrain...

Honorable mentions to: KC, VDGG, Magma and Yes, of course.

RUSH are the most exciting band for me overall.

Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

They all have their moments (besides maybe Pink Floyd), but I voted for Gentle Giant for the same reasons as Trouserpress and Man With Hat, except for the time signaturew thing, which is really not something I care about.

Genesis, when they're rocking hard, can also be quite exciting too.

I voted King Crimson, but VdGG, Soft Machine, Gentle Giant, Genesis, and Magma are all exciting!!!!!

I'm most excited about dream Theater's upcoming albums

However the most exciting music I know is Yes, Genesis, and ELP in 70's
