If the Prog is the Classic Music of the XX Century, who is more near this concept?

 

For always yours, Mandrakeroot.

I would actually take Sky on this one.

Emerson, Lake, and Palmer due to their great adaptation of a lot of classical
music. Also, a lot of their own instrumentals remind me of classical music.
I'm very surprised they weren't included in this poll.
One likes to believe
In the freedom of music
But glittering prizes
And endless Compromises
Shatter the illusion
Of integrity

I voted for Genesis as Hackett and Banks have more of a classical way in their compositions...specially albums like Selling England by the pound and some instrumental pieces

I think many of those who posted in this thread misunderstood the question of this poll.

The question is not "Who is/was interpreting classical music most?". But rather "Who is closer to classical composers by importance of their works, and who, subsequently, will be probably named "classics", say, by the end of this century, provided Symphonic Prog will be considered a "clasical musical genre". 

So, if my interpretation of poll question is correct, I'd say Yes, Genesis, King Crimson, VdGG, and GG.

Anyway, Ekseption (despite all my admiration towards late Rick van der Linden) did vitually nothing except for interpreting and popularising classical music. And Symphony X IMO did nothing worth-while at all.

Agreed. ELP ought to be the first thing that springs to mind due to their variations interpretations.

I also think that ELP should be mentioned here. But if they aren't I rate for Yes.
