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

I'll take PFM since I just love that Italian stuff.

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! |

King Crimson, the starting point for all the prog I now love.

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)

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.

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.

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

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

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".

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