 I'm with Jim and Shark on this one -- their argument about Crimson still being a serious prog force is quite right, and you can never deny the huge impact that "COURT" had on the development of progressive rock. You don't need to like their music the best to vote for them! Ying Yang

Hmmm, from these choices I would say Genesis... Based on their early work...

And Genesis nudges ahead...

"Accountants keep the score..." 6-5

 Clap "They've never been alone, after getting a radiophone." Right on, Verse. Good to see you nudge Genesis ahead of (the also fantastic) Yes! Genesis have more discs in my "top ten classic prog recordings" list than Yes (by one), and have moved me more emotionally over the years as well. Enjoy Selling England, but please, give another unbiased listen to the lovely "More Fool Me." Before Phil was a latter-day blue-eyed soul megastar, he was an excellent drummer and backing vocalist. There's absolutely nothing wrong with the song, and I'm sure you'll come to realise that with time.

The troubadour addresses his inconstant lady-love, a timeless theme! The track also serves as a sort of "breathing space" on the album, and provides a break in the intensity. Before we had "skip" buttons and remotes, we just used to get up and get another beer..... Don't skip tracks on these old classics! (If nothing else, think of "More Fool Me" as the price of admission to the "Cinema Show.")Wink

Yes of course.

Though I think Genesis is the best, I voted Gentle Giant, since they don't have so many votes on this poll!
