 Topic: The Worst of the Best
Posted: March 22 2017 at 05:10 |
There's no "can't choose" option this time... So make the impossible choice... Which do you like least?
By the way, I voted for ELP.

In order best to worst,
Genesis (Trespass to Wind and Wuthering is amazing) Floyd (Atom Heart Mother to Animals is mostly excellent) Tull (Aqualung, TAAB, Minstrel in the Gallery, Songs From the Wood and Heavy Horses are all great) Yes (The Yes Album, CTTE, Relayer and most of Fragile is superb) ELP (The debut and Trilogy are very good) King Crimson (Three good songs - Epitaph, In the Court of the Crimson King and The Night Watch - and that's it)
So an easy choice for me.

Worst to Best:
ELP Jethro Tull Genesis Pink Floyd Yes King Crimson
These sorts of polls tend to bring out the most interesting artists. I may not like ELP much, but I can't deny that they're distinctive. Votes for KC likewise signify a group that took risks and were willing to alienate people. Meanwhile, Genesis won't garner many votes here, and someone like Micky will likely argue that it's because Genesis is generic, lame, and safe.

I picked Tull simply because they are not a prog-band as such - on another forum, I may have picked differently...

I can't stand with Genesis. Love the other five.

I like them all, but ELP is the least I like and listen to, though I like them a lot. Genesis after Steve Hackett left is not to my taste, but their classic period is wonderful.

Jethro Tull. I still like them though. I was going to say ELP but their first few albums are just way too good.

How come Gentle Giant isn't on this list? I think a lot of people would pick them.

Tull, I guess, but they're all great in their own right. Tull probably appeals to me the least. Genesis appeals to me the most

There's no 'worst' on that list of bands imho, but regarding who I like the 'least' that would be either ELP or Floyd. I find myself not playing their albums much in the last few years.

Probably ELP, but I'm not much of a fan of King Crimson or Genesis either.

Gentle Giant would be by far the most hated upon, probably. And then I'd have to include Camel and VDGG and Renaissance and Moody Blues...
But this is the "Big 6."
