certainly not as poppy as the three I listed. 

The remarkable thing is, Crimson's first single was "In the Court of the Crimson King" (Parts I and II, both sides of a 45). Actually made it into the Top 100 in the States.

The fact that the OP listed that as a 'poppy song' makes one wonder about his musical knowledge about prog and pop.

Yeah, but I don't think leading unanimously in this poll is actually "winning" anything but a heaping handful of steaming poop.

By the way, who is the lone straggler that thought the KC song "Cat Food" was the most poppy tune? I had to laugh.

Genesis pop is light years better than Phil Collins later solo pop. Ugh. His first album wasn't too bad but by the time of Sussudio and even worse, Another Day In Paradise, it was enough to make one want to barf

Genesis made the most pop music of all those bands. Obviously. Many of their pop tunes contained no clues whatsoever to their prog rock roots.

They did make some good pop though. Turn it on Again, Mama, No son of Mine and Follow you follow me are all worthy IMO. They made some sh*t too; Illegal Alien is an aberration. Invisible Touch is just bubble gum for the ears.
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

The only good pop rock is the actual pop rocks that you put in your mouth and eat. I guess 'I want to hold your hand' was a good pop rock. I like XTC and ELO's early stuff, kinda pop rock.

Follow You Follow Me was a big hit in the UK (don't know about America) 8 years before Invisible Touch and Genesis were already well on board the pop train by Duke when you think of Turn It On Again and Misunderstanding. Are we just talking about 'bad pop' or any 'pop'??

I never thought of Cat Food as a purely ‘pop’ song. Maybe Tippett’s piano gives it an avant touch.
Tiger In A Spotlight makes good use of that cliched riff it holds, not a bad song at all.
Another Brick is saved by that solo section.
The rest, I can live without.
