I think....this is a bad idea for a pollErmm.

I think Mars Volta is progressive for Emo music, but there's nothing progressive about Queen.

I'm curious how DT and SB got on here. I haven't heard Glass Hammer.

I voted for Radiohead... that's it.

I don't understand polls like these.

And to add, how can people not think the Mars Volta are progressive? I just don't get it. What bands sound like them? They are pushing music further IMO. A breath of fresh air for prog and I mainly listen to symphonic prog and I still love it.
    
EDIT: You don't have to like it but that doesn't mean it's not prog.

That confuses me too!  Of the bands here, I would say Queen is the least progressive.

The Who. All the others are progressive in my book.

Silly Poll. They're ALL progressive.

I don't understand how anyone can listen to Queen II or ANATO and say that Queen aren't progressive.

Still, there are people that seem to think that "Scream Bloody Gore" by Death is a masterpiece of Prog, so that probably says a lot

Well the fact that this is an open ended poll means you can vote for the same band over and over so in my opinion, the poll is not valid but if I had to pick one in this list it would be The Who. All the others are progressive.
Best of 2006 that I've heard:
PFM-Stati Di Immaginazione
Zenit-Surrender (Best "unknown" album)
Oaksenham - Conquest of Pacific
2007:
Phideaux - Doomsday Afternoon
La Torre Del Alchimista - Neo

43% of people who have rated the album on this site, apparently.

I haven't met any of them either, but if I did, I'd have one or two questions...

me too! I know that many people don't follow the guidelines, but the votes are out of line even then - unless they think that SBG is better than the other Death albums.

I don't like any of those bands at all, but out of them I'd say only The Who and Queen are not progressive.  Radiohead isn't really progressive either, just artsy.

I voted for the Radiohead because to my warning you are Post Prog, lies the Who (and the Kinks) is Pre Hard Rock band (more the kinks) but in 60's were at the same time Pre Proto Prog but a lot more mattering for the future developments of the music. It does I do not believe it is worth for the Radiohead.
For always yours, Mandrakeroot.

This poll brings the conclusion to me that DT is quite disliked here.
Progressive: Intelligent music for intelligent people.

While they are disliked (not by me), this isn't representative because somebody (or a few people) have wrecked the poll via the "vote all you want" option.

You really expect people to abide by that rule? No, they'll cast as many votes as needed, until the result pleases them.

BTW: More than one year ago, when I created my first poll, I also thought that the "multiple votes" feature works like you think it should.
