Sorry for the pessimistic poll but the topic was just on my mind! Amon duul II came highly recommended but were a huge dissapointment!

Don't care about the polls, I never vote or care about the results, I read the posts where the meat is.

BTW: I don't find the overrated polls bad, if we really want to discuss, we must also recognize some nbands are overrated, just asking for rsepect in the replies.

We're progheads, not blind fans.

I think none of these artists are overrated. They're rated just the way they are. But by looking at the graphs and seeing that Genesis is so called "leading" it just isn't right. This poll should be avoided by anyone who has respect for prog-rock. By the way these "overrated" polls are meaningless, they don't show anything but taste. This one in particular is irrational because there ISN'T a band to overrated.

Yeah, that poll is a sham, and a farce, and a charade...

And Camel is not even on the list!

Good reason - they're not overrated. Simple if you think about it!

Even though I love Floyd, I feel they became pretty bloated with "The Wall" release.

About 150 votes for King Crimson in the last couple of hours? Something dodgy going on here.

I persoanlly think VDGG are over rated Iv heard some of their stuff including the infamous 'Plague of Light-House Keppers' and I thought this was the most awful, annoying, terrible load of trype Id ever heard, and people go on about this lot like they are something special? they are just aload of noise, and nonsense, absolute crap.

I know that may make me a number 1 enemy to all those VDGG fans on here but thats me on POV.
