Looks like we're leading up to a second list of quintets! We're up to nine (9) alternate suggestions so far, so, stay tuned! (Then we'll have to do a run off, right?)

Impossible to pick a favorite. They are all great, with different moods and fantastic talent.

Gonna go with Gentle Giant on this one... though if classic Genesis was included, I would have picked them Thumbs Up Excellent poll!

Great names enough to choose from, but there is a gap between Anderson, Squire, Howe, Wakeman & Bruford (who created the best album ever imho) and the others, which is even more noticeable because of the absence of Gabriel, Hackett, Banks, Rutherford & Collins (who created the second best album ever).

1) Latimer, Bardens, Sinclair, Ward and Collins
2) Orford, Holmes, Nicholls, Jowitt and Cook
3) Banks, Hackett, Gabriel, Rutherford and Collins
4) Rothery, Kelly, Trevawas, Mosley and either Fish or Hogarth (equally good)
5) Cousins, Lambert, Hawken, Cronk and Coombes

From the list, it's hard to pick between GG, Renaissance, Iona and Uriah Heep.
I'll go with GG.

Okay, we're definitely heading toward a "part 2"; up to 13 alternatives! (Didn't know Strawbs, IQ, or Marillion were five-somes!)

Went with GG this time, though many of these were amazing quintets.

There are some excellent choices but I went with 'McLaughlin, Cobham, Goodman, Laird, & Hammer'.  There just will never be another like them.

You're right! I should've included them over one of the metal-borderline-prog groups! Guess I was just a little too hasty throwing this together! Sorry everybody!

LOL Man! AC/DC over the Rainbow Rising line-up? That album influenced countless bands.

These stand out for me (King Crimson, Soft Machine, Gentle Giant and more are favorites of mine, but not because of the line-ups/albums in the poll). I'm not going to vote for one of the others, as I love them them in very different ways and for different reasons:

early Weather Report
PFM 1972
Crac!-era Area
1972 Pentangle
2022 black midi
Radiohead
