I picked Genesis who barely edged out KC.  Genesis from 1971-1977 did more that was in a style I liked than KC, who after the first couple of albums, would tend to put one song per album that I would like - you know, The Night Watch, Starless, and Exiles for instance.  Just a personal preference, and a slight one.

I think you got Exiles mixed up with Easy monet or something, because Exile has one of the worst vocal performances I have ever heard.

All the bands, except Rush, belong to the first wave of progressive rock, so why not count Gentle Giant, instead of Rush...?

No mistake.  I just said it's the only song I liked...I didn't comment on the vocal performance.  I like the melody and the  fiddle Wink

But if I had a gun to my head I would pick book of saturdays as second good song on that album

Rush have a very loyal fanbase and that says everything ,I`ll always go for Rush in these type polls I don`t think a prog band could be more successful or more acknowledged  Smile

King Crimson, but these aren't my big 7 at all. A band like Amon Düül 2 with at least 4 classic albums ("Phallus Dei", "Yeti", "Tanz der Lemminge" and "Wolf City") definitely belong into the big 7 for me, for example. But the least common denominator of course always supports the average rather than the exceptional.

ejhm... Can (there'll be no post rock and indie rock and the else, etc,.). But off course, that thing about a BIg 7 is just rubish...

There lies the solution many mainstream bores find out about prog thanks to bands like Rush, Kansas & Floyd ... In my opinion Rush are progressive  in many ways not just the music
