The pic above is too large that the post can be edited. Many times I faced the same problem.
Nevermind.
This is a cover page of an article about 1977 / 1978 tour of my life-time favourite band Smak. The best line-up with Miki Petkovski at the keys (he played his Minimoog so majesticaly!), and that tour has a legendary status now.
However, yesterday afternoon I found this live recorded video (audio only) of Jethro Tull cover played by Smak at Požarevac festival 1973, and it was one of the very first Smak shows; they were just formed in 1973, they didn't have enough of their own songs yet nor already released material at that time, so they used to play some covers at that early phase. This is actually a raw recording by the audience, but imho it sounds enough powerfull that I hope that Jethro Tull's hardcore fans here will not be disaippointed
So, here's Locomotive Breath cover by just formed young prog band Smak - later the best Yugoslavian prog rock band ever - at Požarevac festival 1973, Serbia, ex-Yugoslavia.

because not many women like, know, and/or care for prog; i mean hell Genesis put in Follow You Follow Me just to get more fans from this demographic; this ain't our faults you know.
Umm...more than not many women listen to prog these days. Some even play a little prog themselves after they're done fixin' the vittles and taking care of the young'uns

I can understand people having trouble picking just one band......I could have chosen Genesis, Yes, or even Tull over KC but that first album by KC knocked my socks off when I heard it in the spring of 1970. Still the most seminal album in prog imho.
BTW...I assumed the OP meant prog band but I see some mentioned other groups. By an open criteria I might have gone with the Beatles since I grew up with their music and bought their first singles when I was about 12 or 13.

Wassup Progarchivers! I'm back (for the 27th time!!!) and gonna try and throw out a new series of threads, which is actually a repeat of a series of threads I did about five years ago. If this series takes off I'd like to go in some obscure directions and consider random topics, but for the first few editions, we'll stick to the simple, more obvious topics.
So with that said, welcome to "Pick Only One" (volume two).
We'll start with the most obvious topic of them all. Your favourite band.
The rules are simple (as if the name of the thread doesn't give it away). No runners up. No second best. No honorable mentions. No joint firsts. No "I couldn't decide between...". This is the thread series where we separate the boys from the men. Where you have to suck it up, grow a pair, and pick only one answer.
Got two favourites? Well, tough sh*t. Because only one of them will get mentioned in this thread.
*Terms and conditions apply. Anyone who violates these rules will be prosecuted.
And here's mine... Dream Theater.
Whilst I haven't really listened to too much Prog lately, and I certainly haven't listened to this band too much lately, the fact still remains that when it's all said and done, Dream Theater are my number one band of all time. I came across them in 2003 with 'Images and Words' and was instantly hooked. I have all their albums, most of their solo/side-project releases, all the official bootlegs and most of the fan club cds. I have all their DVDs, two tattoos, I bought the first edition of their biography 'Lifting Shadows' (and yes, my name in the roll of honor) and I've seen them live. Once. Also managed to get my picture with Petrucci, Myung, Portnoy and Rudess.
Dude what is with Mangini's hair.....some makeup and he could be the next Elvira!!
