Oh, such an interesting poll.....my top 10 all time musical greats would be (in no particular order): Yes
Beatles
Led Zeppelin
JS Bach
Keith Jarrett
John McLaughlin (including Mahavishnu)
King Crimson
Steely Dan (inc D Fagen solo stuff)
Pink Floyd
W A Mozart
...from your list Mandrakeroot I'm torn between Bach, with his wonderful structures and melodies; Beatles, THE "pop" band who shaped music like no other; and Yes for doing some of the most wonderful music I've heard. If I had to choose? Well my "desert island disc" would be Close to the Edge so it's going to be Yes....

Historically, the Beatles, Crimso or Bach (yeah, probably Bach). In terms of which bands are the best, any of the last three.

Haven't read all the posts, but the few I did, I do agree with. Half the groups you've mentioned don't really rate on a "historical" scale. Mind you, you were very clear in stating that these are your top ten "favourites".

Because this is a prog website, not a classical website. The poll is ridiculous. |

King Crimson wins again. I don't care what era it is, they pulled together and made fantastic art.

For the first time ever, I will NOT VOTE for The Dream...
Sorry, but in this case you put a lot of good bands against the Greatest Master of All Time and Without Whom Music Wouldn't Be What It Is, the true artisan, the genius who write Das Well-tempered Klavier, the master of Counterpoint, please, this is like comparing The Sun with a lightbulb in your house.... (in my opinion...)
Johann Sebastian Bach.

Yes, because their neo-classical electronic electric acoustic explosive rhythmic stringed music utterly transcends and surpasses the entire Bach family. Even the extended line of cousins who exclusively played harpsichord don't add up to beat Rick Wakeman and Steve Howe.
