hmm... another tough decision, but I'll go with Supertramp, the only band I know well enough to vote for.

Asia aren't worth listening to, Ozric Tentacles is boring, Magma is OK, Barclay James Harvest are not too bad but where is prog in their music ?, Supertramp have nice tunes but it isn't prog for me (although I'm not a die-hard prog fan and like to listen to other kinds of music), Krafterwerk sounds a bit too electronic, ABWH is the best thing Yes did since 90125, I can't say anything about Amon and Green as I don't know their discography. Marillion first era, however, have recorded truly great albums. From 'Script for a jester's tears' to 'Clutching at straws', Marillion have played a music full of emotions (emerging from both Rothery's guitar solos and Fish's voice) and amazing melodies. That's enough to direct my choice towards them.

Marillion, because misplace childhood and script for a jester`s tear are awesome albums, and is the most succesfull band here i think, if i havent chosen Marillion, maybe i would choose one of this 3 bands
Magma, Ozric Tentacles and Greenslade
ABWH, Kraftwer only good
Amon Duul and BJH i dont like it so much
Asia and Supertramp.... sorry BJ-1... i dont know why Supertramp can be your fav band

Amon Duul II for me. Gotta love this band. Albums like Yeti are classics in my opinion. No prog collection is complete without some good Krautrock.

Never heard a Greenslade song and I know little of Magma and Ozric... so my vote went to Barclay James Harvest, a band I knew and like.
