You're missing Ozric Tentacles, so I went with the Floyd.

I voted for PINK FLOYD,
but ELP, JETHRO TULL, YES and CAMEL are my favs too.
It is necessary to mention MOSTLY AUTUMN - in my opinion the best band appeared for the last 20 years.

Genesis for me.
Out of the newer bands on that list definitely Porcupine Tree.

Great list! 
I go with Genesis but could be VDGG or Jethro or Floyd. My list should include Hawkwind and Moody Blues and many others. 
For the new bands: Anathema - very good!

At the beginning of my prog awakening, it was pretty much exclusively Rush and Yes, so...Yes.
In fact, as much as I enjoy PF and KC, for me Yes wins by a mile here.
Although as Proctologist said PT is fast becoming a close second...

Man, this list really shows that England has been the best source of good music for a long time.

mmmm...this is interesting.
Really expected Yes to rule here (even though not my personal favourite), but the Floyd is giving me a big surprise (also, not a personal favourite).
Sorry all you guys that did not find your favourites listed, but the poll only allows 25 choices. Know there are many great bands out of the list and even though I own some of their albums, had to decide between my personal favourites.

I say Jethro Tull, closely followed by Genesis, VDGG and Yes and Rick Wakeman.
