you should probably have set up a poll for this... but then again, you would have found a goodly number of similar polls previously carried out, if you'd done a search... anyway, for what its worth, I'd choose 'Yes' every time... ------------- Music has always been a matter of energy to me.

Well...it's an hard question!!

I love all four of them (though I've heard only 3 albums by KC), but I guess Yes would come out on top.

THE FOUR TRUE 'GIANTS' OF PROG ROCK!
Sorry, but I do not consider KC as a prog giant. Never progressed further than being a support band or playing colleges. Mediocre album sales even in the 70's! Least influential band ect! |

mmm...King Crimson always comes out last in this kind of threads... NOT FOR ME! King Crimson (the only band that has mantained their prog ideals...and still managed to change more than any other band) Yes (in the ´70 they did THE prog music...not just prog...THE prog) Genesis (with Gabriel of course...now that was an awesome line up!!!) and...with a little distance, not too much thought...Pink Floyd (just with Waters...how dare they go on without him?) ------------- "You want me to play what, Robert?"

In my opinon these are the giants of 70s prog:
Genesis Yes Gentle Giant King Crimson Pink Floyd Van Der Graaf Generator Rush Jethro Tull I think those are all of them. I did not chose Camel, mainly because I have never really gotten into them. Though I think Gabriel era Genesis is better than King Crimson I can't argue that they are the ultimate progressive band. They all still progressing to this day and have not put forth a bad pop album (and in my opinion have not put forth a "bad" album. Mediocre, sure, but not bad.) ------------- One likes to believe In the freedom of music But glittering prizes And endless Compromises Shatter the illusion Of integrity |

only like floyds older(syd)stuff and i never liked genesis. yes and crimso are two of my favourite bands and have such different sounds and qualities...but if I had to be stranded on an Island with one or the other I'd have to choose King Crimson.Athough it would be a crime to have to choose.

King Crimson and Yes are my favorite of the four, then Genesis, and then Floyd. King Crimson, however, have managed to maintain at least some of their integrity throughout the years, so I respect them quite a bit.

1) They influenced a huuuuuuuuge amount of bands out there....... 2) "In The Court Of Crimson King" has since been considered the founding opus of a new musical genre progressive rock! (This is copied from the PAs King Crimson bio) 3) Sales do not make quality..... Check out Michael Jackson's sales compared to John Scofield...... 4) The concert headliner's aren't always the best Ohhhhhhh and 5) THEY ARE A PROG GIANT -------------

from that list:
1. Yes & Genesis 2. King Crimson 73-74 era is great IMO...I should give their 80s albums another try cause I couldn't get their sound except for some songs: "Requiem" is awesome... haven't listened to their 90s projects yet..but Larks, Starless and Red are among my favorite prog albums ?. Pink Floyd... used to like them a lot (except for DSOTM) and had every single album but then something happened...I dunno...guess that happens...got bored and that was it

| Genesis and Yes for sure. Pink floyd were not capable of playing anything other than mellow music. Crimson only lasted until 1974, but their albums were patchy until then. Their 80s and 90s were more consistent though |

1. King crimson - love of my life (hope my wife do'nt read this). 2. Pink floyd 3. Genesys 4. Yes All did great music, though I must admit I heared Yes much less (have only CTTE, Fragile & Relayer) while all the others are known and loved for many years now. I think other great 70's giants should be mentioned are : VDGG, JT, ELP, Robert Wyatt, Renaissance & GG. For me Rush is a nice band but not in the league of the others here, sorry. I also think The moody blues and The nice should be mentioned as the real beginers of prog and quite quality music makers. ------------- omri |
