This is my list, I can't vote for bands that i don't believe are in MY top 10:

  1. Genesis
  2. Anglagard
  3. Pink Floyd
  4. Kansas
  5. Jethro Tull
  6. Yes
  7. ELP
  8. Banco del Mutuo Soccorso
  9. Renaissance
  10. Focus

What I can't understand uis that somebody votes in a top 10 list for a band that he hasn't heard too much.

Big Ten is much better than 5 3 or 6 or whatever else.  The only band I'd add is Marillion, but they are completely different and came as a result of the big ten.

Best to worst, sticking to the "big 10"

Camel
Genesis (Hackett era)
Gentle Giant
Pink Floyd
Jethro Tull
Yes
Rush
ELP
King Crimson
VDGG

The last 3 I really don't care for much.

If I had free choice, 3 from Renaissance, Strawbs, Caravan and Gryphon would replace them. Mostly Autumn are better than most of these bands but aren't yet well enough known to be big 10 - yet!
