Although the UK has delivered many outstanding progrock bands between 1966 and now, my #1 is Genesis 70-77: wonderful twanging acoustic guitars and flute play, great tension between mellow and heavy/bombastic parts, powerful and inventive electric guitarplay by Hackett, varied and tasteful keyboardwork by Banks, excellent rhythm-section by Rutheford and Collins and mindblowing stage antics and very distinctive vocals by Peter Gabriel. In my opinion no other progrock band succeeded to make such a compelling and captivating progrock as Genesis  etc. ... !

Oh God, what a choice.

It's got to be Camel, though Mostly Autumn are so damn close. I feel a bit guilty because I've spent an hour talking to their bassist Andy Smith this evening at my son's band's gig and he's a really nice bloke. Genesis also come in with a shout and I like Marillion Floyd and Tull a lot as well.

But Camel rule........!

Yes, said the Gentle Giant to Marillion when asked about the IQ of Floyd while the Crimson King was listening to Jethro Tull, but prefered Mike Oldfield, and an ELP tried to mount a Camel.

I mean there's so much good music here lets not try to put one in front of the other all the time. For me Yes is the best but what the heck? There's sooo much good music coming from this island it's just incredible.

Yes for me, but really great list.

The perfect choice would be:Genesis of the Gentle Pink YesGenerator by Jethro of Marillion.
