From the mighty RPI Conference we have its 4 decade champion. From Italy .. PFM!!!!!
From the Dandelion Conference we have its 4 decade champion. From England... Jethro Dull!!!
Vegas oddmakers have made Dull a 15 vote favorite not to quality of output, but for home-field advantage being this is an anglo-centric website and community.
However will the forum show the intelligence they think themselves to have and pick a foreign bands whose output and longevity, still making classic prog albums recently, and putting on incredible live shows puts them heads and shoulders above Dull? We shall see!

I'll take PFM's 4 undisputed classics over Tull's 1 undisputed classic.. add in one of those classics was within the last 10 years..and they are still one of the best live acts in music today... and the last great Tull album was over 3 decades ago.
Easy vote....

though I would be curious to know why your brain leads to Tull Guigo.. it is the brain more than anything that should lead one to PFM. The only reason PFM won't win this IS the fact Tull is english, they don't have the same quality or quantity of quality output, nor the longevity as a functioning and still creativity vital band. The brain tells you that if one was to think, the heart is just the cherry on top.. the clincher... even those like me that don't understand a damn word of the lyrics can appreciate the beauty of the singing, and the music itself. Hah.. again far superior to what Tull did.

Easy Micky, Tull make me think PFM make me dream... something personal I guess.
I can relate to that. Except in the complete 180 deg opposite direction. I have an almost militant aversion to music as a vehicle for intellectual exercise... to me music is has been.. and always will be a vehicle tickling ones heart and emotions. That is why I am into prog, not for the silly and often (IMO) stupid attempts at intellectualism, but more so than any form of music prog when done well can hit you squarely in the heart and hold you for years, decades, even a lifetime.

^ someone ought to call Guldbamsen's Mom
I would have likely voted for PFM, but in a misguided attempt to expand my two-album RPI collection I bought their PFM In Classic – Da Mozart A Celebration , and listening to it killed something inside me

Yes, it is an easy vote...for someone with an ounce of sense. PFM has "4 undisputed classics" to Tull's 1?
Ha! I repeat, Ha! Stand Up, Benefit, Aqualung, Thick as a Brick, A Passion Play, Minstrel in the Gallery, Songs from the Wood, Heavy Horses -- Tull was a band who could blend hard rock, jazz, classical, blues and folk into seamless and astounding compositions. Their acoustic songs are as memorable as their heavier offerings. They had two albums, TAAB and APP, go to #1 in the states WITHOUT a single, just continuous music with a wicked sense of wit.
Granted, PFM makes some very nice elevator music, and I am sure there are some hotels, shopping centers and restaurants (they are named after a bakery, after all) in Milan and Venice that are very grateful to be able to play PFM while visitors go from the 1st to the 3rd floors, or when they hit the loo. But, in all seriousness, the majority of their releases aren't even listed in Wikipedia. Wikipedia, the font of all useless information, doesn't even care to list their albums. Sorry, Micky, PFM made two great prog albums at the beginning of their career, then faded off into obscurity.
...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology...
