I love Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull, ELP and Yes, don't understand most King Crimson and Gabriel-era Genesis albums, and hardly stand Marillion and Rush.

What famous classic progressive rock band should you try! (8 prog rock bands)

You scored as a King Crimson

Try King Crimson(the classic album is The Court Of The Crimson King, sometimes called the first real prog rock album). Their music is sometimes similar to symphonic rock, and is very mellotron dominated. They did some nice psychedelic, jazzy, dreamy jams too. Singer Greg Lake left soon to form ELP (also an outcome of this quiz), but King Crimson went on to made even more brilliant albums.

Bump J-Tull above Marillion, and move Genesis to #1 and it's pretty accurate. Wink

Jethro Tull

I figured KC would top it, and I definitely didn't think Marillon would come anywhere near.

And I think we all know what the Scottish accent question is in reference to...
And I bet the "prog rock is not dead yet" question is also for Marillon, being Neo and all

I would prefer: KC, Rush, PF, Yes, Genesis, Jethro Tull, ELP, Marillon

No surprise here:

What famous classic progressive rock band should you try! (8 prog rock bands)

You scored as a Genesis

Try some music from genesis! Genesis didn't mind getting very unpopular by the people, because their own weird style of music. Singer Peter Gabriel was very nervous when playing for great audiences, so he weared masks. Their live shows were not very different from their studio songs, but with masks and drama, their shows were unforgetable! Try the albums Foxtrot or Selling England By The Pound

Well, Genesis and Pink Floyd are correct, the rest is all messed up, Yes will propbably go to the bottom only before King Crimson and after Rush, while ELP to the third place before Jethro and Marillion.

You scored as a Marillion

Listen some Marillion (classic albums are Script For A Jesters Tear and Misplaced Childhood) This band emerged just when the others disappeared. Marillion kept prog rock alive. Led by singer Fish (with a very dramatic scottish accent), the band wrote great prog rock epics, but some prog pop love songs too!
