A silly topic, but nonetheless I thought of it. So, If you could only
listen to prog bands from the first half of the alphabet (A-M) or from the second (N-Z) which would it be? . A-B prog highlights (for me): Camel Caravan ELP Genesis Gentle Giant Gong Jethro Tull Kansas King Crimson Mahavishnu Orchestra Marillion Mars Volta N-Z prog highlights: Mike Oldfield Phish Pink Floyd PFM Rush Supertramp Tool UK Van Der Graaf Generator Yes Frank Zappa Though Rush is my favorite band, I would chose A-M, because of King Crimson, Genesis, and Camel, mainly ------------- Your hands and feet are mangos, you're gonna be a genius anyway |

| For Pink Floyd, Yes, Porcupine Tree, Frank Zappa, VDGG, I think that the second half wins! |

For Yes, Van Der Graaf Generator,Pink Floyd,Rush,Pain of Salvation and Psychotic Waltz N-Z wins, but it's a very narrow win. One Little Victory.

A - M would allow Magma, Guapo, King Crimson, Henry Cow, Can, Faust and Gong. I'd miss out on VDGG, but I'd still get Hammill, so A - M it is! ------------- 'Like so many of you I've got my doubts about how much to contribute to the already rich among us...' Robert Wyatt, Gloria Gloom |

A-M, with hotspots G and H (where in fact a huge part of our collection is located - Gong, Gentle Giant, Genesis, Gryphon, Guru Guru, Greenslade, Peter Hammill, Steve Hackett, Hawkwind, Hatfield and the North, Henry Cow, to name just the major ones). Hammill and Hawkwind together make up almost 10% of our collection.

Ohhh, difficult. A-M have Brand X, King Crimson, Dream Theater, Genesis, Gentle Giant etc. But N-Z have Zappa, Supertramp, Symphony X, Van Der Graaf Generator, Pink Floyd etc!! I seriously can't decide!! ------------- RIO/AVANT/ZEUHL - The best thing you can get with yer pants on! |

| Very hard to choose, but I voted for A-M because of King Crimson, Genesis and (Fish-era) Marillion. |

Things are getting curiouser and curiouser Well, A-M, I suppose. Oldfield, Pink Floyd, PFM, UK, VdGG, Yes aren't strong enough to beat Camel, Caravan, ELP, Genesis, Gentle Giant, Jethro Tull, King Crimson. 7-6 |

Genesis, Tull, DT, Mars Volta, Mr. Bungle, Led Zeppelin... A-M for me, although there are many great ones in the second half too. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/ocellatedgod" rel="nofollow - last.fm |

While N-Z has some of my favorites Yes, Pink Floyd and So on, A-M has many more bands that I like. Jethro Tull, Gentle Giant, King Crimson so my vote goes to A-M. ------------- "I can't see through my eye lids" |

There is enough in A and G alone to make A-M take the lead by quite a bit I think for me. |

I vote A-M and then will ask some bands to change their names to Fink Ployd, Forneria Premiata Marconi, Ban Der Graaf Generator, etc. ------------- Guigo ~~~~~~ |

That is an incredibly hard topic, but I chose N-Z.
But A-M is pretty good too- Dream Theater, The Mars Volta, King Crimson, Marillion, and then there's Led Zeppelin, Alice In Chains, Incubus, and The Doors for non-prog I'd say it's a tie. ------------- http://imageshack.us">

I'm pretty sure there are more A-M bands than N-Z bands anyway!
