Danbo suggested a more positive thread, so as opposed to boring, we have the exciting bands. Some of these bands excite me to life,
For those offended, because I didn't include their favourite band, see Boring Topic ------------- I'm always almost unlucky _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Id5ZcnjXSZaSMFMC Id5LM2q2jfqz3YxT |

King Crimson's various re-structuring has always kept things interesting. Each of the bands above that I have actually heard are exciting and a band worthy of paying a few bucks to watch perform.
Good thread Tux. You can set a poll to allow multiple votes, BTW. |

ELP were probably chiefly responsible for turning people against prog but Peter Gabriel might also have tipped the scales a bit in favour of the view "God,what a bunch of t**sers these prog bands are!" with the Slipperman costume. He couldn't even sing while wearing it because it was impossible for him to get a microphone anywhere near his mouth! ------------- Odi profanum vulgus et arceo. |

GENESIS IMO the best, and most exciting progressive rock band of the 70's. ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

In terms of excitement, there is an obvious absent: Jethro Tull. ------------- Please forgive me for my crappy english! |

| Unfortunately I`ve never seen them live but Iwould have to go with Gentle Giant for most exciting musically although all the bands mentioned have their moments. |

I had to go for Gentle Giant It is the only one from the bands mentioned that has ever excited me... GG has a special place in my heart for that. Cheers -Beau ------------- --No enemy but time-- |

Pure exitement? Maybe ELP, they certainly all have their moments form what I've heard. Oh except Dream Theatre, Dream Theatre just sucks.

All of the bands at one time or another provide or provided excitement. Not to mention a few hundred more. Have to go with that bass pedal solo as the all time hight of excitement from Genesis Live.

Rush, the name of the band explains the excitement that comes with their music. That's why I'm a die'hard rush fan. Their music actually does get my adrenaline pumping. ------------- "The rock and roll business is pretty absurd, but the world of serious music is much worse." - Zappa |

Ha! - Just as I thought - this is not a picture of Genesis at all (the drummer with a centre parting & a left handed Mike Rutherford was a bit of a giveaway). This is 'The Musical Box' - Pretenders to the throne, but highly regarded. I have to agree with Cluster One, though, Genesis, when on form (and not playing a later Motown medley  ), could be one of the most exciting bands to see / hear.
King Crimson however, well, there is a band you cannot predict; whenever I see them, I am never disappointed. Fripp never allows the band to stagnate, and always excites.... -------------

Gentle Giant are always exciting - especially with familiar tracks! There's always a fantastic moment just round the corner, and it's wonderful to wait in anticipation for that time sig change, ripping solo or quirky little refrain... Honorable mentions to: KC, VDGG, Magma and Yes, of course. |

They all have their moments (besides maybe Pink Floyd), but I voted for Gentle Giant for the same reasons as Trouserpress and Man With Hat, except for the time signaturew thing, which is really not something I care about. Genesis, when they're rocking hard, can also be quite exciting too. ------------- Your life or your lupins!!! |

| Most of the bands listed in the poll are exciting or at least have been, but as others observed they are not the only ones. For instance, I would have replaced DT (which I don't find exciting at all) with Rush, and would have mentioned Queensryche. |
