This, although there are times when I'd much rather listen to KC than Yes.

Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

I assume Triceratopsoil was joking about the "objective correct order". Anyway:

1. Yes
2. Genesis
3. King Crimson

But all three have made amazing music.

You ask people their opinion and then tell them it is bad

I'm tempted to vote King Crimson just because they weren't on the last poll, but then I would be lying. Besides, define "greatest."

Who is the greatest of the three, greatest meaning who has everything music, lyrics, concepts, players, instruments.

I reject this definition.

Who gives a f**k about a concept? Most bands don't have or don't care about concepts. Are they inferior to the bands having concepts? Who needs it when you have such an engaging, innovative ground breaking band, that keeps evolving and reinventing itself and never thought about selling out. It's always been about the music first, that alone is worth a vote.

But if you don't think so master ProgMetaller2112, than I'll change my vote right away. Ahhhhh....Genesis right?

Since they all have music, lyrics, concepts, players, and instruments, I declare it a three-way tie!

Nothing in music is objective, you just don't get it

I just pointed out the facts that Crimson does not have an album with an engaging storyline or concept
