Musical history:
 
Bach is probably the best composer ever
King Crimson wrote the first mature prog album
 
Personal history:
Yes is my favourite band
Jethro Tull is one my earliest musical memories (an older brother of mine bought the hitsingle Bourée and the album Stand Up)
PFM is probably in the near future my favourite band ( I keep listening to them, more than I listen to Yes)
Rainbow is maybe the first band I ever saw live
Pink Floyd did the best concert I ever saw in my life (Momentary Lapse Of Reason tour)

Going for baroque.

Although I question J.S. Bach's inclusion in a Prog Rock forum poll (bit of a joke in a way), I'm still surprised Bach isn't doing much better in this poll due to his historical significance.

Prog rock owes a lot to him beyond albums such as this, of course:



Bach is, of course, one of the leading historical figures in western art music, and will be remembered long after all the others in this list are forgotten.  Ern, unless human life on the planet is wiped out before too long in which case it may that the inheritor of the Earth, the cockroach, will have an affinity for The Beatles.

Bach ain't Prog Rock, but he lives in Prog Rock.  A truly great progressive artist!

Pink Floyd, they are and will always be favorites, although i seem to have fallen for Peter Gabriel-era Genesis...

Plus I don't get the point of this poll

You're right, historical merits are needed when someone rates artistic achievements, not when loving them. Gotta agree with the rest of your post also, but you know it's de gustibus non est disputandum...

I cannot decide, really this should be a multiple choice poll!

King Crimson, Dream Theater, Beatles, Pink Floyd

Historical merit could be a factor, but it's not enough on its own, you're really supposed to LOVE your favourites.

In this poll, there's just no competition!

Look, I truly enjoy Yes, Crimso and Tull. Each of these bands has produced at least a handful of great 45-minute works.

But what then to think of JS Bach, who left us at least 200 handfuls?

Bach?! Seriously Mandy...

I s'pose Crimson and Floyd are most entitled for anything in a merit of prog history.

king crimson are sort of totally awesome!

mostly it's because I prefer all the bands inspired by king crimson to all the bands inspired by floyd etc etc. I guess there's a little bach in everything but john wetton is pretty much a better bass guitar player than him. ;)
