Looks like my least favourite from the original bunch is going to win, meh. But hey, they're good as well.
Voting for Graaf.

During the classic era there was no doubt that the four giants were Yes, Genesis, Pink Floyd and ELP.
ELP have dropped out of favour since then it would seem.

It´s a shame that Porcupine Tree aren´t here already, although they have kept 2nd place for a long time.
So, I have to vote for "double G". Who else should to be a Prog Giant if not Gentle Giant?  |

Couldn't vote myself, but my girlfriend voted for me. Gentle Giant. It was to painful to do it myself.
