They were my first favorite band, so I'm biased towards them. I don't adore them, but I still like them a lot.

You didn't do one for the adjective I usually apply: quaint. But I was the first vote for good. I've got everything from Days through and including Sojourn.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Go for option #5. Sometimes they are too sweet for my taste, but In Search of the Lost Chord is a good album.

Voted for that too. Days of Future past is a good project, but I couldn't care that much about other albums of the band.

Probably the first prog band. I'm not very into them. I like what i have heard of them but they are not at my top.

I just love them from days of future to seventh sojourn and i still listen to those unforgetable albums looking at beautiful phil travers covers, unfortunaly, it seems they were not that great on stage

I just had to vote: One of the greatest bands of all time, I don't listen to them that often, but when I do, I always enjoy it. And there is not many bands that sing songs about the epic Timothy Leary

I'm probably one of the few people who actually thinks The Present is a good LP. I'll have to review it soon

^ There are others.  Look forward to that one.
Second option for me, not that I'm biased or anything.

One of the Greatest bands without doubt - with emphasis on their initial seven albums which I lump in a class by themselves.

DotFP and ISotLC are fundamentally important in prog's development, but I had little interest in their output beyond that.

They have some good songs, but overall don't find them that interesting.
