Dream Theater, kings of progressive rock?! NO!!! Anyway, I voted for Yes, mainly because of CTTE and Gates of Delirium. |

I voted
Genesis. Even though I've broadened my horizons since I first
discovered Genesis, I have yet to hear anything as enjoyable as
them. Sure, there are many bands with extremely good songs that I rank
as just as good, but this far I have only found one album that I rank
as good over all as "Trespass", "Nursery Cryme", "Foxtrot", "Selling
England By The Pound" and "The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway" and that's
"Thick As A Brick" with Jethro Tull. Genesis will probably always be the Great Ones for me. |

I'm sorry that I didn't include enough people, I've been kicking my self over Emerson Lake and Palmer. Hold on, I'll revise it. ------------- www.myspace.com/hail_peter

Genesis, mainly because they incorporated theatricals into their stage show as well as being creative musicians, though Yes come close and ELP could stake a claim too. Camel came later and were the best of all but didn't define the genre. |

Of course, Yes. When people who dislike prog have to mention a band that sumarize all their hate, they easily say Yes. I think the same works in the reverse order. So, Close to the Edge (album and song) is the best description of what is prog rock in its quintessence.
