Floyd, we agree. King Crimson, we don't.

If they stuck with the Poseidon line up I would rate them a lot higher. The Wetton era really lack strong composition to me.

All I like is prog related bands beginning late 60's/early 70's. Their music from 1968 - 83 has the composition and sound which will never be beaten. Perfect blend of jazz, classical, folk and rock.

The genre is too massive to be captured in just three bands. Probably 10 is more fitting. From a perusal of this thread, Crimson, Floyd, Genesis, Tull and Yes are non-excludable. Rounding it out from there starts depending on more personal appeal, although ELP, Rush and Zappa are copiously mentioned. Perhaps the latter two spots could be more avant-garde or non-English language.

I would rather they stuck with the Original Line-up, actually. At least for a few more albums.

In terms of popularity, the top 3 would probably be Pink Floyd, Genesis and Yes. In terms of influence, I think the top 3 would be Pink Floyd, Yes and Rush. As for me personally, my three favorites are Rush, Yes and King Crimson, though there are many others I also like.

I'd say my big 3 are tull, camel and gentle giant. They have a bit of fun with their music. Yes and Floyd are way too serious

ELP... Genesis were NEVER in the same class as those 3. Musically or in overall importance. Yeah they are popular.. doesn't put them on the same level as those that created, popularized, and inflluenced pretty much every prog rock band that came afterward.

While Genesis were certainly shakier in terms of quality than the other two, I wouldn't say they were unimportant in the slightest. They're probably the most imitated sound in all of prog. Just listen to any neo-prog, after all. Though ELP would also be an excellent choice, as the whole keyboard/bass/drums power trio was also an oft imitated sound back in the day and you can hear shades of Emerson resonating through many keyboardists repertoire.

of course they are not 'not' important. My point is.. always has been... they are simple not on the same level with any semblance of objective thought...as Yes, ELP, or King Crimson.
In my mind is not even debatable they are ..were.. and will always be.. the 3 faces on the prog Mount Rushmore. The bands that even non prog fans know as PROG.
Without them there was no prog.. sh*t man.. there would have been no Genesis as you then.. or more to the point. They would have not left the pop songs (excellent at that) of their debut and messed around with their arty phase.. and either into the dust bin of history.. or found their true talents a decade earlier as pop artists.
