OK theres many differant types of prog and I know I have missed some great bands that said ... the objective here that is a bit differant to other polls is I have tried to cover a wide range of prog styles all in the same poll . Good luck with it vote wisely

Camel are one of those bands I was talking about ... see you can only fit 25 bands and camel didn`t fit in (its prog rock and prog metal as well) ... sorry about that I dig camel but atleast I fitted in Eloy

What I am doing here is pretty much comparing the popularity of Prog Metal to Prog Rock Please don`t be offended if I missed your favourite band this is just a rough plan for me to follow the trends of what you people think out there in progland |

KING CRIMSON of these!  Great poll, but very often "Other: what?" selection would be nice to have...

All these lists and polls make it very easy to answer: I have thought about it a lot of times. My choice is Yes: a wealth of good material (mostly '70's), intelligent as well as emotional music. But the proof of the pudding is in the eating: I think I listened more to Yes than to any other band. The only band that can compete is Genesis: both Genesis and Yes never made a bad album in the '70's. I know no other band from which I can say the same. |

Jethro Tull is my favourite band, but much of their stuff, like on this was, stand up and benefit is not prog, so when I choose the greatest prog band I choose Genesis! |

I went for Floyd, mostly because nobody else has. Floyd are a good contender, (though not entirely "prog") as they changed over the course of all their "classic" albums, they are accessible and unique, and I would contest that they never released a bad album in the Seventies either, though there were a couple of lesser works. They might compete with Genesis for me. ------------- Life is like an avantgarde play because tuna. |
