Very harsh, but it's Pink Floyd. Very close race with Genesis, Yes, VdGG and Gentle Giant. What's yours? ------------- "All you need to do is sit back, and acquire the taste." - GENTLE GIANT |

My favorite among the listed choices has to be Pink Floyd. ------------- Two heads are better than one, but if you want something done right, do it yourself. Nothing ventured, nothing gained, but better safe than sorry. Look before you leap, but he who hesitates is lost |

Genesis for me of course. I'm surprised Yes has only 2 votes. ------------- One likes to believe In the freedom of music But glittering prizes And endless Compromises Shatter the illusion Of integrity |

Almost didn't want to vote for Floyd because I think it is unfair - they're
kind of out of the rests' league. Just about went with Genesis, the only remote contender, but just couldn't. It's Floyd. |

King Crimson, Van der Graaf Generator, and Gentle Giant in a three way
tie. I just voted VdGG since they had the least votes to even it
up a bit.

| These polls are getting a bit tedious. We need more originality cos' the outcome is so predictable with YES winning every time! |

I think the title of this topic reveals it: there can only be one prog GIANT, albeit a gentle one.

Yes took the lead!

Hm im rather surprised that there is so few that has Jethro Tull as their favourite band when they have got masterpieces like Thick as a brick...but i have not heard all Tull records so they might be really bad

All of these bands are among my favourites (well, perhaps not Genesis...), but I voted for King Crimson, as they are the most consistent in the list. |

All great bands with the exception of Genesis. I voted YES of course!!! |

Pink Floyd They were able to sustain music perfection for 3 or arguably 4 albums in a row. Yes and Genesis had several awesome albums but also some which are quite bad! Dont make me chose a second between Yes and ELP! ------------- Well McGarnical Billy is dead! They slit his throat from ear to ear! |

| I'd also go with Pnik Floyd, but GG and KG aren't far behind |

Jethro Tull, ELP and Yes - close call because these 3 groups along with Genesis and King Crimson are going to feature in most peoples top 10. -------------
